You Want Me To Do What?

Hello my friends! Right now I’m experiencing a lot of emotions running through my fuzzy body. I can’t decide if I wanna chew up a shoe, kiss my human with lots of slobber, chase Satan the cat, play a game of bitey face, or just nap.

See, my day started just like any other day. As my human was heading out to Petsmart I looked at her with the face of “I want more bully sticks, rawhides, pig hooves, and a new stuffie to appreciate….AAAAnnnnnnddd…” and that’s where my human stopped my thought process and said, “Sorry Bease you’ve got enough treats and toys, right now. Today you are just getting some more food. We are going to help out someone else who needs it! Sometimes it’s better to give than to receive.”

What the crap! I totally enjoy receiving! I give plenty! I give smelly farts to my human, slobbery kisses, love bites, holes to put rocks in…and the list goes on…

So my human suckered me into listening to a story by grabbing a chewy from my dog closet…Since I had to hear it, well I thought it would be something you all would like to hear too..

Her name is Allison. As a child she grew up in an unsanitary orphanage and was one of many who contracted Polio as a toddler. Against all odds she survived this deadly disease and was strong enough to live her life to the best of her ability. She overcame all odds, after all, she was a survivor. She wasn't expected to walk, but proved that she could do anything, and was able to walk.

This is where I intervened and said, “uhhhh human? What the crap is polio?” The human then explained polio to be Poliomyelitis which is a very contagious disease caused by a virus. It takes over the nervous system, and can potentially create complete paralysis. It most commonly affects children under three. This virus starts infecting the intestines and then begins to multiply after it is ingested through the mouth. Symptoms of polio infection are similar to those of the flu, except that stiffness occurs in the neck and extraneous limbs.

After I realized what we were talking about I put my nose to the ground and continued to listen to my human.

This Allison now lives in a rural part of Maine. She continued to work hard and prove her abilities to overcome any obstacles. She raised children, went back to College, received a degree and even volunteered to help others that were in need. Through all of this she never had to ask for help or even complained. She was very proud of her ability to remain independent and self sufficient.

About six years ago, she collapsed while working, and was diagnosed with post-polio. From this point forward she lost her ability to walk and has been confined to the use of a wheelchair. Still, she doesn’t let this diagnosis get her down. After all, she dealt with everything thus far and was still feeling alive, this was just another obstacle to over come.

And here is the reason that my human has decided to cut back on my toy and treat intake…

Allison now needs help. Through her life of volunteering and helping others, many have turned their backs on her. At this point in Allison’s life she is in need of a service dog. My breeder and first surrogate human…Mommy Sherry has volunteered to donate a 7 month old, all black Airedale named, Sierra…and here she is! In all her glory!

Aren't her ears awesome! She looks like she could fly away!!! She has like bat ears!!!

Now, this beautiful dale is being donated along with free service training for Sierra from another self less human who just wants to help…

Apparently, my human and I will be donating some money to the cause! Though I thought we were stinkin’ rich, my human says we aren’t, but it’s always good to help out those in need. And that’s when she said, “now Bease, if you got sick and I couldn’t afford to help you out with all you needed, wouldn’t like others to help?” Uhhhh, duh human! Of course I would want help!!!! Who wouldn't want to help out one of us critters?!?!

So, being the fuzz bucket of love that I am, I have decided to forfeit a months worth of treats and new toys so that my human can help a little more.

We’ve already got about $100.00, but need about $1,000 more! This includes the materials it will take to train Sierra, shipping cost and getting Sierra spade. If we get more, everything will go toward helping to maintain a happy life for Sierra!

If any of you are able to help out even a little, please e-mail me at mr.tbonebeasley@yahoo.com and I will send you further information!

This is Mr. T-Bone Beasley, donator extraordinaire signing out! Hehehehe!

Slurp!
