I signed up my very sick Chocolate lab, Jake for the Secret Santa program. I am not sure how long Jake will be with me so I requested toys for him, since I am jobless.

His Secret Santa was so excited to pick out gifts for him and this morning they arrived! Thank you Secret Santa and even though I spent the morning in tears watching him with his new toys, I am so very grateful and happy.

Jake is six and may have a tumor on his spleen. He and I completed the Appalachian Trail together in late August this year. He became ill in October.
