We wanted to share that tomorrow Shirley is going Oregon State University’s Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine for a complete exam and CT scan. I’d be lying if I said we’re confident that the exam will show nothing major and we will have more time with her before we have to say good-bye. It’s imperative that we find out about the issues she’s been having. The keepers work hard to give her a variety of food to determine what she likes the most, although it changes all the time. Some days she eats good and some days not so good.​​​​​​​

Shirley still greets us with lots of chuffs and plays with her favorite ball, but we are worried. I’m asking all of our supporters and friends two things, first put together all your positive thoughts and send them to this sweet girl, and second, the cost of her exam will be a few thousand dollars at least. With all the vet visits this year, we have already spent most of our budget for health care. We need your help to raise funds to be able to pay whatever it takes to get her the best care possible. She is so dear to us the thought of losing her is hard to imagine. Please send your love, support and most encouraging thoughts for sweet Shirley. Hopefully, we will get a definitive answer tomorrow and we will keep everyone updated.
