Rope Diggity Rescue-Pat Chaney

             I was worried about Rope-Diggity because for the last three weeks or so he’s been losing weight and has been listless….this is So unlike my buddy so I scraped together some money and took him to be checked out by the Vet.  It turns out he has a mass over/around his Pancreas and needs exploratory surgery.  I don’t have Pet Insurance and I retired early from my career as a Health Care Claims Configuration Consultant in 2014 to become a full time Primary Caretaker for my sweet Mama Evaleen who had Parkinson’s and passed March 2017.  

Rope Diggity Rescue

            Rope-Diggity was instrumental in helping with my Mama’s care and would tell on her if she attempted to get up by herself during that last year when she couldn’t walk…..he kept a good eye on her.  He also helped me with her transition; three days before it happened he would go to the door way of her bedroom and look back at me with sad eyes….then come and put his paw on my knee.  He was trying to tell me she was leaving but I was in total denial.  On the third day I accepted what he was trying to tell me…that is the day Mama left us.  Animals know.  He mourned her too and would not eat for a few weeks and still goes in her bedroom and stares at her bed.
                  I don’t know what I’d do without Rope-Diggity and thought I would have him with me a little while longer I would sell a Kidney to help him…I mean that.  I had planned in the New Year to take him on some adventures to reward him for being such a Huge support for me.  He is a Coon Hound and 'Smelling New Things' are his Joy! I’m praying that will still happen in 2018.
I’ve had Rope-Diggity since he was around three months old. I rescued him from a Kmart parking lot where three teenagers in a truck were attempting to run him over.  A parking lot full of people and no one lifted a finger to help him….I was furious and drove up next to that truck and shook my fist at those Fools….Cowards drove away fast.   
                  We’ve been through some tough times, he almost didn’t make it through three bouts of Demodectic Mange due to a reaction to the medicine prescribed but he is a tough guy and I’m praying he’ll make it through this ordeal too.

       Any donation will be extremely appreciated, Rope-Diggity and I will surely pay it forward when we can.  That is a Promise!
