Saving Dakota

I have some bad news. After discovering blood in her stool, I took our dog, Dakota, to the vet. Many hours and hundreds of dollars later, we found something in Dakota's stomach. She must have swallowed one of the kids' toys. The reason she has been so sick, is that the object will not pass on its own. So I am left with two options and, as of now, only one is feasible for us.

1. We can come up with $1,000 over the next few days (a miracle would have to happen,) in order to surgically remove the object.
2. We will have to put her down.

I am worried. Not just for the poor dog, but for my kids. Daniel Jr. is in such a fragile emotional state that something like this could set him back into depression. Marlie is worried sick....literally. The stress makes her physically ill because of the Epstein Barr. I feel unable to handle another death in our family and the grief that follows.

I cannot just give up without trying to save her. I have only asked for money once on this blog, for a family who lost their father. Now I'm asking for your help to save Dakota. Not just for the sake of her precious little life, but for the well being of my family. I am posting a donation button on the sidebar and in this post. If you would be so kind as to spread the word of my efforts and also pray for us, I would be so grateful. I only have a few days left with her so time is precious. Thank you so much.
