Raffle for Shenanigans -- winners have been announced!!

[lochnessmomster]

**For those of you who haven't been following the raffle thread, Shenanigans' dog had to be put down on Sunday after several seizures and major organ failure.  Unfortunately, his vet bills still need to be paid, so we are going ahead with selling raffle tickets until the end of the day tomorrow (Aug. 2nd).  Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far!!**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marigold and I are holding a raffle for our dear friend Shenanigans here on the Arena to help raise funds for her dog Falcore.  It was recently discovered that he has hyperthyroidism and diabetes.  He has had multiple visits to the vet over the past week and his condition has been very serious.  He symptoms have consisted of severe dehydration, lack of appetite, diarrhea, and his blood sugar has been through the roof.  The vets have treated him and he seems to be better but he is not quite out of the woods yet.     

Here is a cute picture of him from Easter a few years ago:

If you know Shenanigans, you know that she loves her puppies even more than ponies.  They are like her children, and she can't bear to see any of them in pain.  Falcore's vet bills are currently in excess of $800 and that amount will increase with future visits.  Shen and her family just don't have the funds to cover all the expenses.  To help pay for the bills, she has already started selling off much of her prized collection of Barbies and MLPs.  While we realize that family and pets come first, we also don't want to see Shen have to part with so much of her collection. 

All the funds raised for the raffle will be donated to Shenanigans to help with Falcore's vet bills.  We will have five winners.  Each winner will be able to pick from the pool of prizes below.  First place winner gets to pick first, second place winner picks second, and so on.  With every 200 tickets sold, another winner will be added.  Raffle tickets can be bought between now and next Saturday, July 27th (with the official prize drawing on the 28th), but if there is a lot of interest and/or if we collect more prizes, we'll extend the raffle for another week. 

**Due to a number of factors (renewed interest, more prizes, pay day for some people being on the 1st, and continued vet visits) we are now extending the raffle until the 2nd of August, with the prize drawings being held on the 3rd.  I hope this is ok with everyone!!**

$1 for one ticket
$5 for six tickets
$10 for thirteen tickets
$15 for twenty-two tickets

Thanks, Sarahlacewing. If you have something you'd like to contribute to the prize list, that would be awesome, but even just buying raffle tickets is a huge help. Hope things are going well for you!

[Unicorn_pops]

Look how adorable he is sitting in the Easter basket!! I'd like to donate but skip the raffle part if that's okay?

Thanks, Unicorn_pops!  You are so sweet.

And I agree... I just wanna pick him up and cuddle him, he is so stinkin' cute!!

[Shenanigans]

*flails* Thank you guys SO MUCH!!! This really means the world to me

Thank you Loch and Marigold for setting this up, for all those who donate, and all those who buy tickets!

Falcore finally took a few bites tonight and drank something For the first time in his life we had to give him a pill to make him WANT to eat! He's lost so much weight and he's like a different dog now, both in looks and personality. He's just feeling completely miserable.

And Loch is totally right when she says they're my babies and I love them more than life itself and would do anything for them

[Lady Starflower]

I'll be PMing you Lochness after the weekend buy some tickets

[StoryDreamer]

Aw, this is so kind! My cat Ivy was dehydrated and sick the other day, and she had no interest in food, so I know how it is to have that scare! I'll be donating soon, hopefully.

[lochnessmomster]

Thanks, Lady Starflower and StoryDreamer. Looking forward to hearing from you both.  StoryDreamer, how's your cat doing at the moment?  Never fun to see our pets sick, is it?
