2020 has been a difficult year for everyone reading this. I have been out of work with an injury since January. And many of you probably already know about Sarah's MS diagnosis from several years ago. Now, our beloved family member Mali is having health issues. This has put us into a very tight financial situation.

On November 17th, Mali had swelling on her left cheek. Sarah and I were able to get it reduced at home that night. The next day, the swelling appeared on her right cheek, and we performed the same treatment for her. Unfortunately, it didn't work and we took her to the emergency vet on the 19th. It was determined that she has severe dental disease and needed several tooth extractions, otherwise, her health is great! This comes at a time when we were all hoping that 2020 would end on a better note.

Mali went under anesthesia on December 3rd for over 3 hours of surgery to get her teeth taken care of. By the end of that, she ended up needing 31 teeth removed! Her vet and his team reported that she did extremely well during that time! Home recovery has been mostly smooth, minus the difficulties involved with giving medication to a dog that just had major surgery on her entire mouth. We take her back in on the 23rd for her follow-up visit to make sure she is healing properly.

Some of you might remember her back surgery several years ago. Your kindness and generosity will always be remembered and greatly appreciated!

If you're able to help financially and share this campaign with your family and friends, it would mean the world to us!

Here's to hoping for a speedy recovery and many more years with this sweet, adorable, and loving dog!

Love,

Shane, Sarah, and Mali
