See this little guy?



His name is Marty, and he needs help.

Marty is just a little guy who was rescued by a couple of college students. They were visiting someone who had him, and while they were there his anus (spot #13) prolapsed...and Marty's people apparently didn't want to do anything about it. So the college students took him and spent their on money trying to get him all fixed up...but he needs more surgery, and it's gonna be kinda spendy.

Spendy in a way college students can't afford.

There's an article about it at http://theminaretonline.com/?p=7812 and to find out how to help go to http://handipets.com/blog/?p=782.

They're getting close to raising the amount they were told it's gonna cost, but you guys know how stabby visits go...there's always something extra that pops up.

If you can help, even a tiny bit... look at that little face. And think how awful it would be if your spot 13 suddenly prolapsed.

I know times are tough and if you can't, that's cool. But think good thoughts and stuff for him.

Oh poor wee thing! All I can do is keep him in my thoughts but I can pass his story around and maybe get him some more help that way. Hugs to all the people that are helping him.

oh jeez. what a horrible thing to happen to spot #13. much worse than getting a temperature taken for sure.
we don't have lots, but we'll put our little bit with everyone else's and that will all add up to help!

I told the Woman to send some green papers to Marty and she said okay because she stopped buying cigarettes a few months ago so she must have some extra cash laying around somewhere.
