UPDATE AND OUR AMAZING FRIEND CHUCK

Pixie is all ears

Hi, everyone! We were all touched by the tiny 2 lb Pixie Belle and her remarkable spirit despite a badly deformed leg and rough start to life

She recently went to 5th Avenue Vet Specialists to be evaluated for surgery to make it easier for her to get around without hauling a bent and useless leg. Unfortunately, preliminary bloodwork and tests revealed another even more serious health issue threatening this sweet girl.

It seems Pixie has a problem with her body's filtration system. An abnormal blood vessel is causing everything to bypass her liver and dumping toxins into her body.

There is a surgery that can repair the problem, and little Pixie can live a full and healthy life. The surgery will cost thousands of dollars, but we have decided we cannot give up on this little girl.

The amazingly generous Chuck Palahniuk has donated some amazing items (Fight Club genuine jacket, first edition book, and personal note!) to our May 7 benefit, with proceeds to help this little lady. See
http://waggyspringbenefit2010.blogspot.com/ for more details!
Remember, you can still bid on items even if you can't make the event - email waggytailauction@gmail.com for details!

You can also donate directly to help Pixie Belle's life. Amory's Fund is a special part of Waggytail dedicated to helping individual special dogs with significant medical needs.
Please help Pixie by sending paypal to amorysfund@gmail.com. Checks can be made out to Waggytail Rescue, and mailed to Waggytail Rescue, 170 Norfolk St #10 NY NY 10002 (be sure to note to indicate it is for Amory's Fund/Pixie)
Thank you all for caring!!!
