It’s been about a year since I’ve done any fund-raising, and I’m in a hole because of Miss Lucy’s vet and crematory costs, so I’m banging the tin cup again. Right now I can’t even spring Lucy’s ashes from the mortuary, never mind catch up on the bills that didn’t get paid because I had to get her veterinary care. I would be most grateful for whatever you can spare.
And if all you can spare is $1, I’d be grateful for that. If everyone who drops by here every day chipped in just $1, it would make a real difference to me.
And if not for me, give so I can bring Lucy home.

I appreciate your wonderful blog, Maha. I cleared the cobwebs out of my paypal account and only wish I had done it sooner. I’m sorry I had to be reminded to be considerate of what you give to me and to all other Mahablog readers. Thanks for being you!
Done. I’ve had to have one of my cats euthanized a few years ago. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. My condolences to you.
Unfortunately, I tried to make a donation and had a “fatal failure.” Now I have a headache.
So sorry about your cat. I can’t use Paypal because I have problems with it. I also have money challenges, but my animals are big in my life. Love your blog.
Done-I know how much Miss Lucy meant to you.
thank you!
I am so sorry to hear of your heartbreak. Pets do mean so much. Give me a week or two and though it can’t be much, I will try to send something.
Done – and that is a lovely picture of her.
Done, at last! I second the lovely picture comment!
Done!
I’m sorry the amount is so tiny maha. I’m on my 2nd to last unemployment stipend, so I threw out what I could. God, I wish it could be at leat 10 or 20 times more. This site has been the anchor for my sanity for the last 5 or so years.
I hope you get the remains home soon, and the bills paid. I’m sorry for your loss. But I’m grateful for your voice.
Glad to help
I know and understand the grief with which you are dealing. I have more than a couple of years on you, young lady, and I have lost my share of ‘friends’ over time.
Was Miss Lucy any specific breed?
And, last but not least, thanks for being the excellent presenter of the progressive agenda.
You got it Maha, but you’ve forced me back to the stripper pole for the weekend to make ends meet. I don’t have paypal, but I have a checkbook……….
I’ll second what Swami said!
It will happen when I am home we are in DC for Rally to restore Sanity. With you and the Rally I MAY survive next week. It can’t be as bad as they say, can it????
Every one, for a good laugh, check out Badtux, the Snarky Penguin today. Scroll down to the second video entitled, “A liberal tries to lead a conservative to facts and reason”. It can be found at:

I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time. So, if you are in need of a good belly laugh, check it out.
Bonnie,
Your sense of humor is markedly different from mine. I certainly did not see any humor in BadTux’ post. A lot of truth, some very sad, but no humor.
Done. Hope this helps to bring Miss Lucy home.
