Please keep Jax in your thoughts and prayers.
From my hu-mommy…
Hello, friends,
We’ve been very lucky and thankful to have received more than half of the funds surrounding Jax’s hip dysplasia care. You do not know what this means to us. We appreciate it more than you will ever know.
We are grateful for your friendship, and hope you will continue to share Jax’s link and story. After Jax’s surgery, we will still have a substantial amount of money to pay off.
Originally, Jax’s surgery was scheduled for June 17, but his condition worsened in just the past couple of days. We couldn’t see waiting another 2 weeks just because that date fit better into our schedules. Jax is most important now. We are thankful we were able to reschedule his surgery for this coming Monday, June 8.
Jax will need to stay in the surgery center overnight on Monday, then we will bring him home on Tuesday. I feel confident, but I am obviously worried. I guess this little guy managed to work his way into my heart. Sigh.
If you have not shared Jax’s surgery fundraiser link, please do consider helping us spread the word. I know we have been away from the blog world for a long time, and I’m sorry about that. With my mom’s passing last year, and Nala’s passing this past January, it’s been so very hard to get back to doing things I used to do on a daily basis. My life definitely has changed, and I am trying to get used to this new normal. Please do not fault Jax because of me — he’s just an innocent puppy. We know not everyone could afford to donate, which is why we are asking for Jax’s link to be shared. Thanks so much to those of you who have already — you are angels. Jax’s Angels.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a most wonderful weekend. π
Hugs to all,
~JM <3
Jax Facts…
~ At 2 months old, Jax was 10.7 lbs. The rescue organization gave him the name “Mojo,” which happens to rhyme with our hamster’s name, “JoJo! He won’t get nearly as big as me (currently 66.4 lbs!), but he might get to be about 45-50 lbs (Nala was at least 30 lbs when she was her biggest). NOPE! We don’t think Jax will even reach 30 lbs. We have bets going to see how big he’ll get. O_o
~ Jax was born November 19, the DAY AFTER Nala (November 18). Jax also happens to look a little like me.
~ At 2 & 1/2 months, he was 12.8 lbs.
~ At 3 months, 1 week old, Jax was 16.2 lbs. The doctor thinks he’ll definitely be under 40 lbs. YEP! When I was 3 months old, I was already 30 lbs!
~ Jax is finally learning how to ring the potty bell to let us know he has to go out. At just 13 weeks, it was still hard for him to hold it for long, but he tried!
~ Jax barks when asked to TALK! He doesn’t have a strong bark yet (and doesn’t really bark much at all), but when he does it’s really cute and high-pitched and lots of times he sounds like Chewbacca from Star Wars. We should have named him Chewie.
~ Jax is scared of loud noises (passing trucks, motorcycles, trains, thunder, mowers, people talking in the distance, etc). He bolts toward the house, even if he has to go potty. Unlike me, he tends to hold it in when he’s scared. I don’t have that problem! Teehee!
~ Mommy washed Nala’s Thundershirt, and it shrunk just enough that it fits Jax PERFECTLY. It never worked for Nala, but we think it does help Jax a little. Anything to make him less afraid is OKAY with me. π
~ He would rather curl up with me in one of my big beds, rather than sleep alone in his little bed. Though he does like that too. π
~ He really does look fierce sometimes.
~ At 6 months old, Jax is now 22.5 lbs. He still prefers to lay near on me, and sometimes I let him.
~ At 11pm it’s ‘sleepy time,’ and Jax knows it’s no more play time. He’s really good about sleeping through the night, but Mommy usually walks him once during the night just in case. π

Are you following the correct link for my RSS Feed?
I heard from many of you that my feed has not been showing up in your readers for quite some time. I am so sorry! Feedburner said my RSS Feed got too big, and it stopped sending it out. :/ So I deleted it and it’s now located here. The problem I have, is that everyone who had previously subscribed, is no longer subscribed. π I have your emails, and plan on sending out one general message asking everyone to change the URL of the feed so you could continue receiving it in your reader (nope, haven’t done this yet). You can always visit my page and click on the RSS link in the sidebar. I hope this will solve the problem, so you can be notified of new posts. Please do let me know if this solves the problem! π
