Hey Everyone,
My dog Floppy had successful back surgery on Friday 12/22/17. He is in recovery now and he should be ok!

https://steemitimages.com/DQmWjruyKZrErgo6WnTmY2aXNs2s72UG1wq9p2WNK8UbtvJ/Floppy%20Header.jpg

Unfortunately, these unexpected expenses have hit my family very hard and I am turning to the Steemit community in an effort to raise funds to pay for Flop's surgery. Every Upvote, Follow, Comment, and Resteem will help me out, and any straight donations would be straight up awesome!!!  All of your kind words & support have been amazing so far and as you can see, it is growing by the day,  so thank you so much!  

**...and remember, I am upvoting all your comments now!**

Below are pictures of Floppy's scar from right after the surgery, January 20th, February 1st, February 13th, and February 27th... it's healing so well!!!!

...The Doctors really did an amazing job! 

Again, I kindly ask that you follow me as well so you can continue to keep up on Flop's progress throughout the year, as well as the progress of my goal.  Thank you all for your support, upvotes, follows, resteems, and donations so far.  Progress is being made, slowly but surely, and my family is so appreciative!

**DAY 66 UPDATE**

Not a lot of time for a long post but some exciting news at the end of the post!

Walked Flop this morning.  It was still chilly out so it was a quick walk.  But he got his poop and pee both done quickly, so that was good.

https://steemitimages.com/DQmcw3nVJE9LC3Qm58E9vHqxBd9U4sy2XapzjYwbjUTnoJm/IMG-1940.JPG

After I got him inside and gave him his beggin strip, Lu and I were off to school.  Flop still has free range outside of the kitchen right now, but we put a bunch of pillows up on the couch so he can't get up there while we are gone.

I got home around 530, Vanessa was picking up Lu today.  Flop and I took our evening walk before they got home...

Flop pooping...

Me taking a selfie while he's pooping because I find it humorous...

And Flop being a dirtbag and sniffing the garbage can area where all the other poop bags are after I tossed his out.
https://steemitimages.com/DQmQDbyDmtNRd2gTXHJkkSmso7YiYWcp7WcjREySxvb72s1/IMG-1944.JPG

After the walk we chilled for a minute (after he got his mini biscuits) on the couch before Vanessa and Luey got home. 
Vanessa made hot dogs for dinner tonight and Flop got a few bites.  Vanessa, Luey, and I went upstairs after dinner.  To brush our teeth and get Lu ready for bed.  Luey and I watched tv before his bed time and Vanessa headed out to the gym.  It was a nice day for Flop!

THE BIG NEWS (LOL)...   we are going to test Flop sleeping in bed with us tonight!  We are feeling really sad because we know he is lonely at night...he's been crying more recently so we are going to move the ottoman in front of our bed and hopefully he won't jump.  If he does, the experiment will be short lived!

...I'm realizing that Flop's days are pretty routine, there isn't always a lot to write about but i hope at the very least you are enjoying the daily pictures too! Thanks again for reading about Flop's recovery and supporting our cause!
