You all are wonderful people, you really are. Evelyn at Charlies Angels informs me that there were 40 donations totalling $1200, enough to pay for Lady’s surgery.

Should be more like $1350, according to the Chip In counter, unless some payments haven’t cleared yet.
I’m glad Lady will be cared for. Poor thing.

Long live lady!
Since this is an Open Thread, there’s an AmericaBlog piece that links to Ryan Lizza’s piece in the New Yorker on the Issa/Bardella scandal. And it does look like “scandal” is appropriate for what reporters are alleged to have been doing.

This crowd is nothing if not pet friendly. Thank you for helping, everyone(to include Cole for the alert). It’s times like this that reinforce my notion “proud to be a Juicer – of Balloon, of course.”

She has such a wonderful face, how could I resist!

Open thread? The new Lucinda Williams is incredible!

Oh noes! I didn’t see this until just today. Do you think they can use some more funds for her? (She looks like a sweetie.)

@MysticalChick: Evelyn said that any overage will be used for other animals. I say go ahead.

@Kristine: There is also a post in that thread about a big sweet black lab that needs help.

John, You are an angel for setting up the Balloon Juice Store with the proceeds going to rescue dogs.

And hopefully a forever home for Lady once she recovers!
Such a great antidote for all of the terrible political nonsense.
@stuckinred — awesome news, I had forgotten this was coming out, been following her for years, great voice and a story to match.

Since this is a pet-oriented open thread, I’ll solicit some pet advice. We are on the brink of getting this new puppeh, but we have just found out that it is a she and not a he. The owners found out that her ‘boy bits’ were actually a prolapsed umbilicus. The problem with this that our current Alpha bitch, Turnip, adores boys and often does not get along with girls. She’s had fights with males and females, but she pretty much automatically reactive to a new female. She’s had a few girlfriends, but her best buds are always males and she’s a big flirt. So having a sister is much less appealing than having a brother. Any experiences here? The puppy aspect is the X factor–no way of knowing this puppy’s personality yet.
Cris
I’m not.

@Loneoak: Wipe the puppy down with a tissue and then offer the tissue to Turnip.
Her reaction will help you figure it out.

Okay, I donated because I’m all about taking care of the petbabies. :) Thanks for putting this out there, John.

Great news, made my day!

Always nice to hear some good news for a change. John, could you keep us updated on Lady’s condition? From the way (in the picture) it looked like the growth was hanging away from her body, I’m hoping the surgery won’t be too complicated.
Woodrowfan
I assume we’ll get update son her condition?? (please)
