Lots of emails & phone calls...

As I said earlier our action plan for Gramercy is to have a consultation with an orthopedic surgeon so we have a complete picture of what we are dealing with.  For the past couple of  days my co-coordinator and I have been asking around for recommendations of surgeons.  We received lots of recommendations which is super and I spent yesterday calling around.  While it's wonderful that New Rattitude will pay for needed care, it's important for us to be good stewards of New Rattitude funds.

  As many of you know New Rattitude functions based financial donations so a lot of thought and care is needed as to what we can do for each dog.  New Rattitude has rescued over 1000 dogs nationwide so there's a lot of need to be judicious with money.  In a perfect world we would "fix" everything wrong with Gramercy's legs but, the world isn't perfect so we need to find out from the surgeon a treatment plan that New Rattitude can work with and then what his future adopter may be looking at down the road.  By doing this everyone is on the same page and Gramercy is still getting so relief.  Right now we are able to pay for the surgical consultation and the repair of his back left luxating patella. 

I'm currently working on a write up for  New Rattitude's Canine Clinic where people can donate funds specifically to Gramercy.  Once that's up I will link it to my blog page and we'll go from there.  In the mean time I have a call into the surgeon hoping we can have Gramercy seen later this week or next week for the consolation.

Below is what Gramercy was up to while I was calling around (make sure to turn up your volume)
