Hello!
Next month, I have an important medical appointment (which will probably change my life), but I haven't been able to buy the train tickets that I need to get there due to monthly bills...

If you can help,or just reskeet this, I would be very grateful!🚂

Last chance to get these prints w/ an order over $75! Any orders would help so, SO much over here. Thank you <3
A very special late night *special*. For this weekend, any order over $75 can get these four Glacier prints included (four 4x6 prints - ask nicely & I’ll turn them into postcards for you)! The help-me-get-my-account-in-the-black special!

Hey #UglyDogs! It’s time to celebrate with one (two!) of our own.

Want to know the best way to celebrate?
💗22 years today - my how time flies. We’re really putting that “for better or worse, in sickness and heath” bit to the test lately 🥰

I really can not describe how nice it is to have a website where a child can tell you exactly what they need to make their life better and you can just...make their life better. Amazing work at One Simple Wish.

Let’s go Bleral and help!

This has been one hell of a year (literally) for Kat and Mr. Kat, and next year is going to start out even more rough.

Ignore the target $$ - I don’t know when it was last updated or if it covers how their medical deductible will reset on Jan 1.

#UglyDogs can we get a few things to help Jordan be more comfortable post-surgery?
I put together a little wishlist of stuff that will help me be more comfortable and keep me from being too bored, I hope. (It’s on the evil site, but they’ve got everything in stock and fast shipping, so…🤷‍♀️)
Check out my list on Amazon

Hi #UglyDogs

I don't know if B&Q are doing a card run this year.

We do a card swap in the disco if you want to still participate in one.

@eekappy.bsky.social helps a lot with it.

Kaylee had her surgical consult and CT scan yesterday. I've got a lengthy update here: www.gofundme.com/f/save-sweet...
The short version: She could live several more years if only we can pay for the surgery. Any help is so gratefully appreciated. #uglydogs

The Foodraiser runs through 11:59pm tonight (well, actually, the matching portion runs until then - Greg's not gonna turn down your money afterwards, it just counts differently). So, if you haven't but you can, please do. Also continue to spread the word so more people can see it. Thank you!!
For those of y'all just seeing this, the thread start is here -- it's a long thread, featuring a lot of history

Please reskeet and help spread the word since we don't have a universal algorithm here! 🥰
