MOON PIE UPDATE: 🐾 We almost lost our girl again last week. She was rolling around in the grass living her best life when, all of a sudden, she went limp and her gums turned blue.

We rushed her to the emergency vet, where they had to drain 100ml of blood from the sac around her heart. Thankfully, she perked up right after the procedure! She’s been taking it slow the past few days, but she is still walking, snuggling, eating, and so clearly wanting to live.

If you’ve been following what’s going on over at , you know what a ruff time this year has been. We are so incredibly grateful to everyone supporting our journey with Moon Pie and with getting things back on track at the bar. It hasn’t been easy, but we’re managing and getting through it one day at a time.

How you can help right now: Moon Pie has a follow-up appointment with her cancer radiologists next week. Things are incredibly tight for us right now, so any donations, shares, or even just comments of love and support on her GoFundMe mean the absolute world to us. ❤️🐾🩻

We have some amazing news: Moon Pie has officially finished her Stereotactic Radiation treatment! She handled the process like a total pro. While she’s still a bit tired, she’s back to her usual self—taking walks, eating well, and exploring.

The team at MOU was incredible, cheering her on every step of the way. To be honest, the journey was a bit of a marathon for us, too. Between daily drop-offs, a literal bat situation at our first Airbnb, and getting my car towed in the snow at the second place, it’s been a chaotic few weeks. Amidst all this, my grandfather, Irv, passed away. I’ll share more on his wonderful life later, but needless to say, we are beyond relieved to finally be home.

The Silver Lining:
Because of the location of her tumors, the team was able to treat the one near her heart and the one in her lungs simultaneously. This brought the cost down from $11,000 to $8,000!

How you can help:
Moon Pie is doing so well, and she has a follow-up this week. To help cover the remaining costs:

Commission a Portrait: I’m launching my pet portrait artwork series soon! Would you like a custom painting of your fur baby?

Donate: Even $5–$20 makes a massive difference. [Link to the GoFundMe in our bio]

Thank you for all the puppy love and support during this wild ride. ❤️

This has been one of the hardest weeks, watching our brave Moon Pie face the intensity of stereotactic radiation in Columbia. Wednesday started with her trembling in pure fear, her eyes bloodshot and woozy from the heavy sedation needed to save her life. It breaks our heart to see her go through the intense coughing from her daily intubation, but even through the fog of anesthesia, she has remained a complete champ.

Moon Pie is a survivor, and she is already bonding with her wonderful nurse, Michelle, who has been a light in this dark week. We’re am doing everything in our power to keep her here—I’ve opened a new credit card and put down a $5,000 deposit just to get her through these doors. I won’t let a price tag be the reason we lose our girl, but the financial weight is immense.

This weekend, we’ve found peace in the quiet moments—resting, recovering, and even taking two short, beautiful walks in the park. Seeing her tail wag after such a brutal week reminds me exactly why we are fighting this battle. Your emotional, energetic support and donations so far have kept us afloat, but if you are able to contribute to her GoFundMe, it would mean the world to us as we navigate this.

Please help us save our girl. She’s been through a lot but she’s a fighter. She survived the streets, survived heart worm, and will soon be a cancer survivor.

Our resilient girl Moon Pie is facing her toughest battle yet, and we need your help to get her the life-saving radiation treatment she needs starting this Wednesday. We found her starving in a parking lot years ago, and after fighting through heartworms and thriving, she has proven time and again that she is a true survivor who isn’t ready to give up. This pup has an incredible will to live, and we are doing everything in our power to support her through this new challenge. The cost of this specialized care is significant, so we have set up a GoFundMe to help give her this fighting chance. Please consider donating or sharing our story to help Moon Pie continue her beautiful journey with us. 👉🏽 link in bio 🐾

The New Year brought a whirlwind of emotions as we took Moon Pie to her oncology appointment, where our persistence led to a life-changing breakthrough in her diagnosis. After initially hearing devastating news, doctors now believe her tumor is a slower-growing type that makes advanced radiation a viable, life-saving path. While your incredible support has covered her emergency care thus far, we have arrived at our next vital hurdle: a $2,500 specialized CT scan required to map her treatment safely. This scan is the “GPS” the doctors need before we can begin the actual radiation process to shrink her tumor. Please link in our bio and head to our GoFundMe to read the full update and help us clear this next step toward Moon Pie’s future. Your support and the support of our community throughout this journey truly means the world to us and we are so grateful 🌈🐾🙏🏼
