Pray for Olly

Please join me in praying for Olly, my beloved dog and best friend, today and tomorrow, especially, and for the next few weeks.

We have found two large masses, one in the lung and one in the liver, and additional imaging showed a 1 cm mass in the lung as well.

He is having surgery tomorrow (Monday) to have them removed and this is an extensive surgery that will require lots of recovery. We are praying that at least two of the masses are benign, and that any mass that may be cancerous is low-grade.

Please pray for the surgeons and vet techs who will be caring for him to have discernment when making decisions and to provide him with the best care possible. Please pray for his nervous system, as he will have to stay overnight for a few days. Please pray for me to have reduced anxiety.

This entire process has been emotionally and financially exhausting. Please do not ask me how we are – we are taking it day by day doing the best we can, and I’m not ready to speak out loud about it. I will do my best to post updates if you want to follow the story.

We’re looking for prayer support and help in raising funds to cover tests, surgery, daily medications, and after care.

If you’re interested, here are ways that you can help us during this time:

1. Buy things from my Scrapbooking website to help me raise funds. We’re running a flash sale with automatic discounts up to 30% off.

2. Donate to the GoFundMe that was set up by Shantih M. Dean

3. Purchase things from the Amazon wish list which covers every day items Olly needs

4. Purchase dog toys and treats from me, which will be added to
the website soon

5. DoorDash gift cards are helpful for days that I don’t have the
energy to cook 2 meals, now that Olly is on a homemade food diet

6. Target, Costco, Instacart, Sam’s Club gift cards - these are where we buy groceries for Olly’s homemade food

7. We do appreciate cards if you'd like to send one!

Thank you for your prayers & support!

Our Save Olly Flash Sale is still open until Sunday night!

Up to 30% off favorites. Details below
——

SAVE OLLY FLASH SALE - up to 30% off now through Sunday

Shop at https://www.heartafterarts.com/save-olly

Olly is my 10 year old puppy and my best friend. I've had him since he was 3 months old and he's never left my side. He's my favorite part of life and brings a smile to my face every day.

We recently found out he has 2 tumors and requires expensive diagnostic tests and eventually surgery to understand the severity of the issue, properly diagnose and treat him, and remove one tumor before it bursts.

Diagnostics and surgery are expensive and I need to find the funds quickly. So I've created this flash sale to move inventory and help raise enough money to save Olly.

Please join me in my fight; I'm not ready to say goodbye yet. Thank you for every purchase, no matter how small, it matters to us and we appreciate you!
