Hi Everyone. You may or may not remember Furry Faces Foundation’s latest client – Dutches. She had a soft tissue ear sarcoma, so her entire outer ear needed to be removed. We wanted to provide an update about Dutches’ ear surgery.
https://www.facebook.com/donate/1104506749727310/
*****Dutches Surgery Went Very Well****** Update Feb 6, 2019
Dutches’ surgery was today! Yay! She even got to home at about 5:30 today. Have not had a chance to speak with Dr. Kraabel, her DVM surgeon, so will provide another update – and hopefully photos – in the near future. Thanks everyone!
So far $1,388 has been raised via this fundraiser, checks, calls into Lien and a young lady’s birthday fundraiser for Dutches. Thank you to everyone that has donated. If you are comfortable sharing on your FB, email, twitter, etc., please do so as we are about $900 shy of total diagnostic and surgery costs.
As soon as we know how surgery and recovery went, we will provide an update
***Dutches Fundraiser Update – $1,005.00! *** End of January
We just received a donation from a young adult that has given her time to Furry Faces Foundation since she was 13 years old. For her birthday, she held a fundraiser for Dutches’ surgery, which raised $212.00. Then she donated another $100 of her hard earned $$s towards Dutches’ surgery. This young lady is our collective future…and it’s looking pretty darn bright. Thank you Ms. M.
A big thank you to everyone that has donated. We are hoping to raise the last $1,000 in the next two weeks. If you would like to contribute or know some you think would like to help out, please share this post with them!

Sadly, I get the impression that our input has little impact. Still, I submitted my comments. Granted, the increases are pretty small, but I suspect they’ll keep creeping up and up over time. And, true, I have no problem with top execs earning big money, but this is ridiculous and an insult to the middle class.
“As President and Chief Executive Officer at PUGET SOUND ENERGY INC, Kimberly J. Harris made $6,264,383 in total compensation. Of this total $900,000 was received as a salary, $5,344,045 was received as a bonus, $0 was received in stock options, $0 was awarded as stock and $20,338 came from other types of compensation.
