Quilt and Christie Print Raffle to fund Elton's surgery
Congratulations Sharon Cisna of Maryland, winner of the prints and Nance Ceccareli of Idaho, winner of the quilt! Thank you to everyone who helped us raise funds for Elton!
We are putting a Raffle together for our wonderful foster boy Elton. Elton is an approximately 6 year old setter boy that has an acute Hiatel Hernia which prevents him from leading the good life he should be. We have tried to alleviate his discomfort with chiropractic adjustments, however, the hernia is so bad that those alone will not take care of the issues. Elton is in constant distress from heartburn, which causes him to drink water excessively, pant constantly, at times throw up his food and due to the excessive drinking causes him to have some accidents in the house. We have sought medical advice from a specialist and Elton is going to need surgery to to restore his quality of life.
We have been blessed with the opportunity to raffle off two very special Items!
John Good has graciously donated a hand made quilt to raffle off.
And the artist Robert Christie donated two of his beautiful English Setter prints. Robert Christie is one of the leading artists who paint wildlife and birddogs. (Please note the frames pictured are not included.Actually photos of the prints will be uploaded soon.)
