Give Gracie a Pain-Free Life: Donate for Surgery

Hi, my name is Princess Grace Kelly, my mom named me that because I was so clumsy when I was little and I liked sleeping in the dirt in the flower pot. Everyone calls me Gracie, except when I make Mom upset, then she calls me Grace Kelly and I listen. You all know my mom and dad, Audrey and Gary Frey. They really like dogs! But only the kind from shelters that nobody else wants. They even got my friend Thackeray a family and my big human brother even got Lucy Loo from the same shelter we were in. But best of all they got my little brother and best friend, Casper, from there. His ears don’t work but he is really fun to run and play tackle with and I love him. They also have some weird little brown puppies that won’t grow up. They were here when I got here and I’m way bigger than them now. I don’t know what’s wrong with them. They came from a shelter in Missouri.

Anyway, the reason mommy told me I could talk to y’all today is because I have bad knees. I went to the doctor where mom works a couple of months ago because we thought it was my hips. But they said it’s my knees. Mommy has been giving me peanut butter and it really helps, but it doesn’t take all the pain away. I still cry sometimes and I have to lay down a lot and I really don’t like that. But I sure like the peanut butter. Mommy and daddy thought we could fix it ourselves with some funny looking braces but it wasn’t working. Monday we went to a different doctor at a different office. She pulled and pushed on my legs and it really hurt. I didn’t like it. She said both my knees are broken. I tore my ACL. I don’t see anything torn but she says she has to cut me open to fix it and Mommy can give me lots of peanut butter, but I have to stay in my crate and only walk with Daddy or Mommy for 16 weeks. That’s going to be really hard. I can’t even play with Casper at all. That makes me very sad.

Mom and Dad are going to have to pay lots of money to get my knees fixed so if you guys could help me in anyway I sure would appreciate it. I know mom and dad would too. They both work very hard to feed and take care of us. I know mom would bring more dogs home if she could, but daddy keeps saying no. She hates to see dogs alone in shelters or being mistreated. Maybe she was a dog once??

Thank you got listening and sharing with your friends and once I’m all better maybe we can play catch!

All my Love

GRACIE
