Warning: Don’t let my PFP fool you, it was a Halloween costume. Given I was called a Kyle within minutes of joining, have a permanent warning over it 😂

We believe we fixed it! Neither him nor I have slept much recently, I loved Oakland like he was my own dog as well, so we’re both running on fumes at this point.

Believe it’s fixed. His address hadn’t been selected. Neither of us have slept much so we missed that step 😅 If it comes up again, let me know, and I can message his address.

So donations are still being accepted to help pay it down. If anyone wants to send him a small treat, I’m helping him assemble a bit of a care package list on Amazon as well with things he thinks would help him feel better. Snacks, maybe some plushies, etc.

Vet care isn’t cheap, but to Matt, Oakland is worth it. This dog has saved his life several times over. And he’s desperate to help return the favor now. Oakland is only 9 1/2. He should have many more years. But we need to help make this possible!
Spread the word! Share! Donate if you can!

As you can see, Oakland is very sick. He’s miserable. But we can help him. Monday we’ll have more idea of what future care will cost. Right now, we’re focusing on paying off the $900 urgent care bill that just occurred. Matt borrowed against his pay, costing him his next 2 pays, and still owes $500!

Even @therealcononeill.bsky.social agrees, he’s the most beautiful dog. And right now, this beautiful indestructible little fucker needs our help. He’s sick. He’s in pain. And he’s facing something that could prove deadly if he doesn’t improve, and/or receive surgery.

Email [email protected] proof of donations to be entered into the raffle. If you don’t use ko-fi, other payment options are available, just reach out to @izzyhandsart.bsky.social as this is for him and his dog.

Oakland is a senior dog, so if surgery is considered as well, to remove his gallbladder, it will be a risk. And again, expensive. The hope is medications will clear up the sludge, but we have no idea if it’ll work.

Even if it’s determined that a more upsetting option is best, one that involves saying goodbye, Matt and Oakland still will need help. We’re hoping for the best results, but we don’t know where this will end. For now, we want to think positive. Further testing will reveal more. But it’s EXPENSIVE!

Oakland will likely need lifelong monitoring of his gallbladder due to this. The sludge can result in gallstones forming. Gallstones lead to risk of a rupture. If his gallbladder ruptures, it is likely to kill him due to limited emergency vet funds and Matt not having a car for quick travel access.

My fault for forgetting to add to the post! They can be sent to my email at [email protected]
I’ll keep an eye on my spam inbox, too, to be safe!

We got him the emergency vet visit. But the urgent care vet cost him another 900, and this is a condition that will require lifelong care that wasn’t expected, and isn’t cheap. So my goal is to help make this easier. Plus have a little incentive.

That’s so much less!

Just updated it for him to reflect the new goal!

And as a bonus, the goodest of good boys waiting patiently in a very nice dog bed they provide in each exam room.

It was found there is a gallbladder infection and sludge in the gallbladder. This may have been the original infection source, as they couldn’t figure out why the septic arthritis started. Can’t really confirm for sure, but either way, it’s a very good thing he was in! These are his donation options

But of course, I know you too well. I know what you’re into in bed, you kinky fucker 😂 Ned would 100% give you what you wanted.

Straying from the obvious of Izzy or Ned, I’d say you and Jim. You seem like you’d get along well and would be able to have good back and forths together.

Honestly, I am laughing over it, genuinely! It was just my Halloween costume a few years back, and my friends and I have an ongoing joke with it, so I didn’t really consider how it would look when I chose it, more so went for the memories associated with it. It’s all good!

I did unfollow because that was quite rude, IMO. But I will also laugh for the rest of my life over how convincing it was apparently. The lions played a game a few years ago on Halloween, so I went as a lions fan that year (which I’m not). Sorry that a backwards hat made me bad automatically 🤣

PS. Don’t judge a book by its cover 😉 Or in this case, an account based off one picture.
I followed an account simply because my friend has mentioned the artist before and I liked their work, too. But without even knowing me, I got judged based on my picture.
