Save Tilly

So, this post has little to nothing to with being a mom. Well, not a mom in a normal sense. This is all about a friend of mine whose child is a dog- a sweet little puppy who is very sick. 



Here is her story:

Tilly was a beagle, a beautiful beagle. At first glance, Tilly was the perfect pet, but there was something wrong with her. Tilly was blind. Now, for most people, that was enough for them to walk away. After all, a puppy is enough trouble without special needs. But Emily and Will didn't care. In fact, they loved her all the more for it and they adopted her and made her a part of their home. Everything seemed perfect. Tilly got along great with their other dog and the two would tumble and play until they were both too exhausted to move. But then, something happened.

Tilly bagan to bark and growl, but not in the way that most puppies do. Something was wrong. Sometimes these episodes would last almost 24 hours. Her loving parents tried everything from calming treats to Thunder shirts, but nothing really worked. After a couple trips to the vet, they discovered little Tilly had hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is a condition where the brain takes on too much fluid, causing a lot of pressure and problems. Many cases can lead to death. But Tilly's vet believed that a surgery could fix the problem- a very expensive surgery.

Now, some people might roll their eyes at this and say, "it's only a dog!" But this puppy is their baby. She is sweet and precious. Friends have chipped in to help and even started a website selling a cute t-shirt to raise money. So, if you have the heart to help and would like a cute t-shirt, please, go to this site: https://www.booster.com/savetilly
