Happy Labor Day to those of you in the U.S.! How are you celebrating your (hopefully) three day weekend? I actually took a FOUR day weekend and spent some time at my parents' place. There is nothing like a staycation at mom and dad's house. There's no chores, good food, a cute puppy. It's like being at home but WAY better!
Okay, so I have the winner of the Birthday Giveaway. Thanks so much for all the submissions! I got some amazing stories that I'll be sharing with everyone over the next few weeks. It really did make my birthday super awesome to read about all the kindness going on out there. You all are the best and made turning 31 very special.
Onto the winner!
I put all the entries onto slips of papers and pulled one out of a box. And the big winner is….
Jennifer Molvik! Congrats! Send me your address and I'll get a box of NICE goodies out to you! And here's is Jennifer's testimonial submission:
A week and a half ago I was told my dog needed surgery that would cost more than $3000. I am on disability & my husband has only been employed 5 months after being unemployed for 10. We are financially behind the 8 ball.
I figured I was going to have to put her down and everybody was saying I had to 're-home' her. She's my baby, I wasn't going to just give her away.
I called South Seattle Veterinary Hospital and, hysterically, told them my dilemma & needing to put my dog down. The vet tech put the surgeon on the phone that assured me he could do it for MUCH less. I got off the phone more flustered but less upset.
I talked with my hubby & we agreed to do the surgery with South Seattle. I called back and said we'd do it, could I make an appointment. The vet tech said, surgeon's waiting, come now. Fifteen minutes later, he had examined my dog, assured me he could take care of her & for less than 1/2 the price. I agreed and asked when. He told me he had a couple of procedures before her, but it would be done THAT AFTERNOON and I'd have her back by the next evening. Less than 4 hours later, I had the phone call that the surgery was done successfully and she was in recovery. I had her home the next evening!
This story is so emotional! I have actually never had a pet (aside from my fish, Spot, when I was kid) so I couldn't imagine what it must be like to be put in a situation like the one Jennifer was in. South Seattle Veterinary Hospital not only saved a dog, they saved Jennifer from heartbreak. What a happy ending!
Again, thanks to everyone who participated. You all really brighten my days! :)
