Please Help Charlie Live His Best Life

Hi my name is Ange I'm a single mother to an 11 year old beautiful girl called harmony &3 Furbabies( my babies).

8 year old French bulldog × Charlie (My First 4 Legged furbaby brought with one of my first career pay checks and had since 12 weeks. A 9 year old little lady mix terria named Dell, originally was just looking after her to I found her a safe and suitable home but she fitted right in and couldn't let her go she's bn with us just undergoing 1 year, and then there is big boy Mocha the biggest and cheekiest boy staffy × mastiff, I resuced him from Facebook about 4 years ago now he was stuck in a court yard no bigger then few meters full of just sand and restricted by a lead stuck in the ground, couldn't leave him there I knew he had to come home with us.

Since then they have all melted my heart and grew to love each other it is absolutely just the sweetest

By this stage lol Charlie is sick off me bringing him friends home to stay permanently it was an adjustment to our life's and there's, didn't take them all long at all to bond together it's absolutely beautiful and special in its own way. Didn't think my life/heart would be full off paws and puppy fur

These guys are my world ❤️ my life my babies,appreciate them so much and are blessed to have them apart off my life , they are our life ❤️

Which brings me to the reason I'm here today.

My first Charlie & my daughter Harmony had a bit of a collision when Harmony arrived home on Tuesday night 5pm on the 28/8/23

As usual when you arrive at our house , you don't need to ring the door bell , at first they be intimidating and may bark loud, it may sound similar to a doggy day care ( I wouldn't have it any other way) but whatever

You be greeted by 3 puppy tails happy to see you, 3 excited loving babies that wana say hi and sneak a cuddle you may even get a sneaky kiss from them oh and you definitely will be leaving with dog hair as a little 'treat' that's almost a guarantee.

As usual they were all very excited to hear Harmony was home , she's normally home earlier but she had an event on so as you could imagine they were all so very excited to see her, all running 'bark talk' from excited and absolute joys to there tails ,between the excited altercation puppy greets n generally trying walk through the door with out them tripping over each other with exctiment or us humans accidentally near stepping on them.

As Harmony walked into the house after couple mins we heard this absolute high pitched yelp between the 3 off them being excited n Harmony walking in the door some how (we didn't realise this at the time) instantly I panicked and from the sound it made at the time I actually assumed it was little Dell it just didn't sound like Charlie

We got to the bottom off it was a moment now I wish I had off taken him straight to the vet then to begin with but we were not sure what exactly happened. We monitored him and called vets for advice.

So it had happend one first real dog injury I was scared for Charlie, scared for Harmony I was a lot of mixed feelings about it. I felt guilty I felt like a terrible furbaby mum I felt like I let them down I also felt a sense of stress knowing if it was something too serious that there would be an issue to funding.

I motinited him gave him love and tried not to make him any more uncomfortable and in pain by friday morning he couldnt walk at all properly he was walking round like he was lost in so much pain we did our best to comfort him in that with lots of loves doggy treats his favourite cheese and lots off rest and naps Of course that absolutely broke my heart on the Friday 1/9 after monitoring Charlie stressfully, crying not knowing when or if vet consultation would be worth it trying scrapping money together all week after a car accident that took my car out off action which was out of my control on the Monday 27/9. Used my normal money for taxis,lifts and getting me and Charlie to the vet paid $92 50 just in getting to work for a day n half as I had to go and take him whist I was going to work had to turn around my sister message me saying he was looking worse it was my 2nd day i felt so crushed it was 10mins before i started im just so greatful and appericated my boss would was so very kind and understanding about it.

I got my friend Darryl to turn the car back n head home we had our appointment after work( most were busy as and hard to get an appointment) but I had to find better appointment time now as I thought he'd gotten much worse after looking like he was getting better.worsr case was going take him to the baldivis emergency, lucky one close by warnbro ( very great full for our appointment) booked us in earlier. We got an earlier appointment.

Everything was so stressful that morning(friday)

I was on way to work get a message from my sis saying Charlie had gone down hill pretty quickly so I pantic and been my 2nd day at my new job also scared I'd have no job so alot off emotions before we got there Dido uber type thing they did do great, but just the whole me byself holding my bag, Charlie ,his Blanket my phone in hand looking for this Dido driver out front not much there but onthe way back was much worse and so heart breaking as a mum it tore me up the situation obsly but the fact no transport too it was a nightmare and absolutely made me feel horrible and useless bad enough my finical situation wasn't very good atm i didnt have pet insurance ( i now do)

due to previous DV relationship and an injury from that relationship affected my ability to work at full capacity for a extended period of time.

Charlie has been diagnosed with Tear in the knee cruciate ligament.

Basically he needs to have surgery, they will need to cut his bone and insert metal plate type thing that will enable him to function properly well mostly.

He will be in pain and won't be able to function properly or even enjoy his quality of life.

It brings me to tears and absolutely breaks my heart that I am currently not in any financial situation to be able to come up or loan that type off money from any financial institution, I've bn on centerlink (job seekers while trying to support us all) I don't receive any child support I've been slowly getting my credit rating better as my last partner of 15 years had an silent prescription pill habit and never paid for ANYTHING towards home bills ect everything was in my name this is why and how it's affected my credit rating.

I've suffered alot from that relationship physically mentally spiritually it completely broke me in everyway and recked everything for me, it was my fault too but due the situation I was in, there was only so much I could do.

Charlie has been there through the thick off it, while friends came n gone, family came n gone , new jobs came and gone my ex partner came n gone but my little Charlie has always here for me when I've needed the most love he was always my little go to my little therapy dog my little puppy star my little man's and I'm so deversated this has happened to him I wish I could change that moment just for a second for him and we won't be in this position. I'm really scared I won't be able too afford his surgery I'm really hoping that we can all support and get behind this incredibly smart handsome beautiful little man and give him the quality of life he deserves Charlie is half way through his life and so far he has absolutely lived it to his fullest, I don't wana think about that other option I know he may still be in pain after and probably be on painkillers now for the rest of his life but I just want us all to be able to enjoy it and cherish every moment and have Charlie at the best he can be , he deserves that ❤️

Getting this surgery for my little puppy star Charlie is all I've bn thinking about since Friday morning before I went to work I applied for vet pay but got declined. It's so important for myself to try absolutely everything I can to give my little man the absolute best quality off life I can.

With your help and support

Charlie can live his best life and enjoy the quality off it, without been in pain as much and actually enjoy it. Charlie is a very active playful little man this injury has certainly made him a little sad I can't wait to see him back at it 100% .

So he can continue to be the best therapy dog a girl ever had. He's my best friend, my world my everything ♥️

Please Help Charlie Live His Best Life ❤️
