Oh god, that AFSCME green is the stuff of nightmares.

Honestly embarrassing. Makes me wish I were a Teamster. share.google/srRIdAZWVGSA...

I am so jealous of unions that have great swag. My union has shit merch.

Thank you so much, Robert. I appreciate you. 💜

Thank you so much! 💜

Yes. I understand they're excellent, but my father isn't driving right now and Kaylee gets very nervous in the car, so the distance was a factor. (My dad lives much closer to Brewster than to Paramus.)

A HUGE thank you to @esp1371.bsky.social and @kjzack6.bsky.social and @darthbluesky.bsky.social and all the other #uglydogs and everyone else who's been sharing, whether you can donate or not. Kaylee would be too anxious to let you all pet her, but I promise to snuggle her for you.

My older brother and I will be looking into separate small personal loans to cover whatever the GFM doesn't. My elderly dad, who is technically Kaylee's owner, is on a fixed income and still supporting my younger brother.

You love to see it.

I got mine last night! So cute.

In derby, I'll be biased towards a team if my friends are playing, but otherwise I'm just down to have a good time.

I'm not really a sports person for the most part, but I do like soccer and I used to play roller derby (poorly). I don't have a particular soccer team, but I'll usually pick a couple during World Cup time to root for. Even then, I generally will cheer for any impressive performance.

YESSS

I've also told my dad about the fundraiser and he was shocked at how much was raised so quickly. I think it gave him new hope that we'd be able to save her.

Kaylee is 11, but otherwise healthy, and the vet says surgery alone will be enough to save her. The other half of her liver is apparently "perfect." We've only gotten a ballpark verbal estimate so far of $11-13k.
