BARKLEY WALKS - MORE!!! CHALLENGE UPDATE
Wow, this little guy is truly a miracle. I’m sure you’ve ready his entire story, but if not, click HERE and all of the Barkley blog entries will come up. You can read from bottom to top chronologically.
HERE is yet another movie showing the miracle that is Barkley Turner. He is already walking with more stability and looks absolutely great! I was very worried one week ago on Monday, when they said he was already a quadraplegic - and you read the notes from the DVSC surgeon who said if the ruptured material had remained impinging on the spinal column long enough to kill the nerves, that he would, indeed, be totally paralyzed.
Jenni, Barkley’s foster mom, gave me this cute report this evening:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don’t forget our GREAT Matching Donation Challenge. Since we are so far behind, not only with Barkley’s fund, but even worse with the heartworm puppies, one of our unbelievable ANGELS has issued this challenge…
For all donations made this weekend, to get us even, she will MATCH dollar for dollar!!!
Yipee!!
To date, for the weekend, we’ve received $1185. Double that and we’re only $500 from our goal of having all doggies’ funds raised.
