Yoo Hoo.....!!!! Hey there Y'all! Trubeedoo here.... I heard Mom telling Dad that I made my goal on Fundable. I had to do something quick to get her away from her online classes, so I did what any big dog would - and I attacked her stuffed St. Bernard that reminded her of my older sister Eleanor. I've never done anything like that so I knew it bought me some time on the old laptop.

How does a guy tell furpals, two-legged friends - and who knows who else! - thank you for something like this? Mom and Dad put a lot on the line for me, I'm sure lots of you know how much that means. They don't think I'm listening when they have their 'discussions' but I know that when they took me to the University of Tennessee they had no idea how they were going to pay for things if the doctors said they could help me. They didn't even know IF UT could help me.

Mom told me almost every day when she would scratch my cheeks - when she was so sad - "TruTru, it's a leap of faith Bubsy, that's what it is". I know lots of humans think I'm just a dumb dog, there's more important things to do besides throwing money at a dog who might not make it anyway. I know that even Mom and Dad worried about whether they were doing the right thing for me or if they were being selfish.

I'm here to tell you - there isn't a happier house than our house these past few weeks. I'm on the road to feeling better - no more pain that was making me howl and cry out. I still walk a little funny but what's so wrong with that? I take my medicine just like Dr. W. said to and I really really try hard to be good and lay around. I know it 's a long road to recovery but I'm on it and that's a great thing!

It's because of kind, giving and compassionate people (and furpals) like you that I am tripping the life fantastic now. Mom reached out and found Dogster - and we found so many friends. Thank you - everybody who helped get the word out, who checked on me, who contributed to my fundraiser and who sent out prayers and pawsitive thoughts and energy.

YOU ROCK!

ok, gotta run, mom's coming to get back to homework... tru
