Heart Breaking News and a Plead for Help + Adopts

In an effort to make up for everything that you all have done, I am going to be making cheap adoptables as well as cheap commissions. The basline price for ALL of these will be $5, but if you feel inclined to donate more, it is entirely up to you.

If you want a commission or have any particular adoption creature you would like me to draw for you, please let me know!</b>

I hate doing this... I can't tell you exactly how much I do, but I am in a very very bad state right now. As you all know I have been ill, and working on trying to take care of myself. However the health state of my dog, Korra has not gone unnoticed as well. When Korra had moved back up into PA with me, we believed that it was the drama, change in food, stress... the list could go on. But she progressively started getting worse. 

Let me explain what was going on. Korra usually had times where she would vomit in times of stress, or after a large storm, so we put the change of diet to that. However, she started vomiting undigested food, and not just gagging and spitting it out, but projectile vomiting almost what seemed like bucket loads, and frequently. This greatly worried me, and we rushed off to the vet two weeks ago in hopes of finding a solution for her problem. The vet examined her, and we saw that she lost a considerable amount of weight for her already thin frame, and the vet put her on stomach medication in hopes of getting it back in under control. She was on that for ten days, and in some ways it seemed to help, though she still continued with vomiting, loose stool, and reflux. 

Finally today was the final straw. She vomited numerous times, and I couldn't stand seeing her like that any more. We went to the vets once more, and saw a different doctor. He was very concerned, but everything seemed to be alright since she was being her happy, goofy, puppy Korra self. Her attitude has never changed and she's always been her happy care free self. I thought this was simply going to be a stomach virus of sorts or something else similar to IBS, or another stomach condition that we would medicate, watch her diet, and it would all be alright. The news however I received floored me. My dog, Korra, my life.. is in kidney failure. They believe she has had a condition her whole life which is caused by a cancer of sorts involved with her kidneys. They didn't give me a span of time that I have with her, but her blood panels did not show encouraging news. Korra is only a year old... She hasn't seen life like I wished her too, and as I type this I'm crying because of how much pain I'm in seeing her like this. I'm thankfully rested a little knowing that she herself is not in pain from this, but the situation is dire. 

She has been put on a special diet, which is not inexpensive, and we have been given numerous IV backs to which we have to insert a needle under her skin to deliver fluids to her when she's to dehydrated. We're hoping that this will put her in remission, but she will never be cured, and will never be free of this. This thus will shorten her lifespan... We don't know how long she has. It could be a month, it could be five years. It all depends on her condition, how she responds to medication and the new diet intake, as well as what the creator wills for her. 

Here comes the part that it pains me to do... I am coming to the community in need of serious help. I am not able to work, I CAN NOT work due to my own health issues, and I will be applying for SSI as soon as Medicaid comes through. I will not be able to work for at least a year because of this... So this taxidermy and what ever I can manage is my only source of income. I am asking for any donations, any commissions, ANYTHING that I can put towards this dog. She has been my world when I had nothing, my strength when I was weak... And she's fought so hard for life that I can't simply let her slip through my fingers. I will not charge much for commissions but I will be charging slightly higher because Bill will be helping me complete the mounts so I can assure the quality. Contact me and I will work something out with you.
