*****UPDATE*****

HEY EVERYONE!!! Due to all of you wonderful people that helped support us online and some others who have made contributions in person, we have succefully raised the money that we need to give Sammy the proper care she requires.

I don't know what to say... as family we are speachless, touched and so thankful for everyones love and support through what was a very difficult time for us. We couldn't imagine this kind of out come and can't thank each and every one of you enough.

Sam will be going into surgery on Friday and we will be letting everyone know it goes!

AGAIN THANK YOU... on behalf of my family and of course on behalf of Sam.

Here's wishing everyone the happiest of holidays, you've all made ours the best it can be.

Much Love,

The Ryder Fam.

Hey everyone!

We are asking for your support today to help fund a surgery that our wonderful pup Sam requires.

She has developed a large tumour on her tail that has grown infected and may result in her losing her tail, a small sacrifice if it means saving Sam.

I know how tight everything is around this time of year, but it would mean everything to me and my Mother and my Sisters if you could help us out in covering this very vital and very costly surgery. Whether its $1 or $10.. anything at all that can help us keep Sam smiling.

I know how thankful I am for all of your continued love for Sam and even though she doesn't know how much love she recieves from the world, I'm sure she'll be thankful to be chasing squirrels and skunks again.

Thanks so much for you time, your love and your support. Please feel free to share this with your friends and family as well. Sam can use all the love she can get right now.

Much Love and Happy Holidays,

The Ryder Fam.
