Thank you all so very much! We made it with about 12 hours to spare. You rock! We still need to raise dog food money and have the rest of Simon's vet bill which is due next month but the fence is covered through next February so that's wonderful. Again, thank you all.

As some of you know, we've been trying to raise the money to pay the bill for some rental fencing, the fencing that protects and is the living space for Ludo, Enise, and The Floof, for several months now but have been unsuccessful. We are now up against a deadline. We need to raise $800 by this Friday. This fencing was only supposed to be temporary but circumstances have made it so that we can't afford to replace it. If we don't raise the money, they will be here Monday to take it down.

Please go to https://silkroadlgds.org/how-you-can-help/ to donate to the fence bill. Ludo says thank you.

Back at Black Oak Animal Hospital with Simon. His surgery site is swollen and weeping. This of course is going to add to his bill that currently sits at around $900, half of which is due now (and we still have the $350 fence bill!). Please, please, PLEASE go to our temporary page at https://silkroadlgds.org/how-you-can-help/
You can pay directly on his bill if you would like

Well damn. Part of Simon's incision is badly swollen so he goes back to Black Oak Animal Hospital on Monday. He's not a happy boy. Hot packs and pain meds.

So far we've raised about $400 for his vet bill, with most of that put directly on his bill. Thank you so much. Still a long way to go so please go to our temporary page at https://silkroadlgds.org/how-you-can-help/ to see how to help.

Simon had his surgery yesterday at Black Oak Animal Hospital and is doing fairly well today.

It wasn't an abscess but appears to the surgeon to have been a hemangioma, which is a vascular mass, basically a benign tumor. Only concern is that in dogs they usually only appear on dogs with short coats, in locations that get a lot of sun. This was on his chest under a double coat. The mass is going out for biopsy and we will know more next week.

In the meantime we have a huge bill to pay. They will let us split it into 3 or 4 payments but that's still a lot. Thank you to the two people who've donated $150 so far. We really need your help, please. You can go to our temporary page at https://silkroadlgds.org/how-you-can-help/ to help.

At Black Oak Animal Hospital with Simon. Doc doesn't think it's an abscess but it needs to be removed. Estimated cost, depending on if a sample of the mass has to be sent out for biopsy, will be $900-1300. We can do a payment plan and you can pay directly to his account at Black Oak. Please go to our temporary page at https://silkroadlgds.org/how-you-can-help/

Poor Simon has a vet visit tomorrow. He has what appears to be an abscess on his chest about the size of a large golf ball so off to the vet in the morning and they will fit him in during the day some time. We will need help with the bill (also still need help with the fence bill!). Please go to the temporary page at https://silkroadlgds.org/how-you-can-help/ to see how to help. Thank you!

Love seeing one of our alumni living her best life. Tuppy the national traveler wants to remind folks that we are still about $500 short of our goal and time is getting short. Please go to our temporary page at https://www.SilkRoadLGDs.org/how-you-can-help to see how to help. We have several options available. Thank you!

It's National Rescue Dog day! Even though we are physically not able to rescue anymore, we still help out where ever we can and are currently supporting a family with a 5 year old Ovcharka mix male that came from the horrific Est Alpha hoarding situation that Siranoush came from. They just needed to know that he's being a typical Ovcharka and that they are doing the right things.

Thank to some of you we've managed to raise about half of the $1200 we asked you for a few weeks back but really need to make it to our goal so as to buy more food and pay the fence bill. Please go to our temp page at Https://www.SilkRoadLGDs.org/how-you-can-help

We have a basic page up for now and will hopefully finish the site (with some new technical additions) in a week or two. I'm having to relearn WordPress all over again!

We have a major need which is why the basic page. We need to raise about $1200 ASAP for the following:
Compound fence rental to keep Ludo, Enise, and the Floof safe. $350
New web host and domain (multi-year). $150
Dog food for a month (we are down to 3 days). $400
Misc animal feed including the feral cat colony food (the 4 now senior goats are property of Silk Road as they were testing and training tools, though usually we pay for their feed out of pocket but can't right now) $300

Please, we know times are tight right now but we put the two bills off as long as we could and got bit with the web one so really need help. Please go to Https://www.SilkRoadLGDs.org/how-you-can-help (and ignore the ugly page! 😢)

Thank you so much

Today we had to say goodbye to our favorite former wild-child, Lucy aka: LucyFur, program name Kerime. Lucy was an approximately 10-year-old Akbash mix who pre-dated Silk Road, but was partly responsible for it's later existence because she was our co-founder's first special needs case.

She came to us as a 6mos puppy just over 9 years ago from a local animal shelter where she had failed both a behavioral evaluation and a foster home placement due to being a fear biter and resource guarder, something unusual for such a young pup.

About 4 months worth of work made her ready for an experienced home, a home she found with a former GPRNC volunteer Kate and her male Akbash Neba, in Oakland. Yeah, the country girl became a city girl and loved every bit of it. She terrorized her new buddy and he put her in her place every time!

Age took it's toll and it was time for her to be let go. She now rests next to Neba, whom she's likely pouncing on at the Rainbow Bridge.

There's a set of lyrics from a Bob Segar song that applies to dogs like our
LucyFur: "Sometimes at night I see their faces
I feel the traces they've left on my soul
Those are the memories that make me a wealthy soul"

We feel the traces you've left on our souls little one.

Just a heads up. Due to being unable to raise the funds for certain bills back in Feb then having to deal with storm damage and personal health issues, our web hosting renewal was missed. We are working to have a new site back up hopefully this week. More to come. Our apologies. In the mean time we have about 9 days worth of food now so that's a good thing! Thank you!
