Title: Raffle for Shenanigans -- winners have been announced!!
Post by: lochnessmomster on July 20, 2013, 05:31:43 PM
**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. :hug: 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!

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

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 :lovey:

Of course, Shen!! :hug: You know we are more than happy to help out in whatever way we can.  Thanks for the update on Falcore.  Glad to hear he's making some progress.  Has his appetite returned at all this morning?  Is he drinking any water?

Title: Re: Raffle for Shenanigans
Post by: lochnessmomster on July 23, 2013, 07:14:47 AM
I have also been doing some math in my head (dangerous, I know!) and discovered that there wasn't as much incentive to buy $15 worth of tickets as I thought.  It wound up being the same to do $15 + $5 as it was to do $10 + $10.  So we agreed to increase the number of tickets to twenty-two for those who have spent $15.  All ticket numbers have now been adjusted accordingly, in order of how they were purchased.  So it's the same as before, just with the extra tickets allocated where needed.  Hope this makes sense!  Everyone is welcome to check their number of tickets to make sure I did the math correctly, too.  :P

Thank you all!! *snugs* :lovey:

I just got back from the vet and they gave him more fluids and a shot for vomiting. She said he looks a lot better than when I first brought him in and she thinks he overexerted himself yesterday and that caused him to feel bad today. Such a relief! I'll make sure he gets plenty of rest today and feed him something he can digest a little better :)

...And now tack on $40 more dollars to the vet bill :P

Well that's good news that he's improving. Just gotta get past his hump and he'll be great again :)

Yes! After getting over this hump he should be feeling like his old self again :) Minus 4 pounds!! We wanted him lose weight, but in a healthy way :P

I'm hoping that once he's rehydrated completely we'll be able to check his blood sugar :) Right now since he's dehydrated it's veeeery hard (impossible actually) to get enough blood out of him for the meter to read. So we're never sure what he's at! When we took him in his blood sugar was almost 600 when it should be below 150 :shocked: It was 358 today which was high, but much better than 600 ;) We're going up one unit of insuline for him and seeing how that works :)

Thanks again everyone! I wish I could express my gratitude in some way, but just know everything and everyone is SOOOO appreciated! I couldn't do this without you guys :lovey:

Is anyone else having trouble viewing the last three prize spoilers?  :huh:

There are supposed to be six spoiler pics for the Customs Starter Pack (my computer is only letting me see the first five), and the remaining two prizes aren't showing up at all.  They are two awesome customs, Baby Reese's by gotbunny and Baby Schoolbag by Baby Mischief.

Got an update today from Shen on how Falcore is doing.  It's not good news, and she has asked me to update the thread on her behalf since she is extremely upset (understandably so).

She told me that in addition to his other health issues, he now has kidney failure in both kidneys.  It was discovered that he is anemic as well, which explains why they haven't been able to draw any blood for his diabetes tests.  He has also had more vomiting and diarrhea.  At his vet appointment today, the doctor said that while he might make a full recovery, there is also a chance he might not. :(

Falcore will need to stay in the care of the vet for at least another day or two, which will of course increase the vet bill significantly.  Please continue to keep this precious puppy and his family in your thoughts and/or prayers (whichever you prefer).  And if you haven't bought raffle tickets yet and would still like to, send me a PM and I will make sure you get the info. you need.

Thank you!!! :hug:

Poor little guy.  I'm glad they are doing all they can for him.  I'll keep hoping and praying he will recover but with kidney failure it's a tough call.  I hope she can keep him comfortable as possible as they fight to save him.

I don't have any new updates on Falcore, but I do have a bit of good news for raffle participants.  We are very close to 400 tickets now, and if we reach that marker, there will be a 7th winner.  Also, there will be an AMAZING new prize added tomorrow.  I won't say what it is yet, but I promise it won't disappoint. ;)

Post by: ClawHeart on July 25, 2013, 05:32:43 PM
Oh man, I'll definitely see what I can do to help out more.  But I'm curious, have they tried applying for CareCredit?  It's a credit card used only for vet/doctor bills, and under most circumstances you have between 6 and 18 months to pay for the charges you incur before they start charging interest.  I used it back in January when my beloved cat Boo was ill until I had to make the hard choice when she was diagnosed with intestinal cancer.  It was really a lifesaver for me, and it might ease a little of the burden here.

My thoughts and prayers are with Shenanigans and Falcore.  Here's hoping for the best.

Hello everyone, and thank you so much for all your kind words, support, donations, and buying raffle tickets :grouphug: It means so very much to me :)

Falcore is not doing well. We're moving him to a joint animal clinic where he can be watched 24 hours a day (and he will still have the same wonderful doctor) We can't say yet whether his kidneys will no longer be functioning, the doctors are working on him as best they can and it's going to take a little time. He has been throwing up a lot and having diarrhea and hasn't eaten in 5 days. He's lost 7 pounds and is very, very sick. His temperature is dropping so they have a heat lamp on him while he sleeps. His blood sugar is completely out of control and keeps dropping to 75 then shooting up to over 600. He's extremely sick and we don't know if he'll make it or not.

We're trying to think positive things and we're not giving up and we'll keep fighting for him! Any prayers would be greatly appreciated and of course it will help a ton if we sell more raffle tickets. His vet bill is now in excess of $1,300. I tried the Credit Care, but was denied since I have no credit. As well as my parents and sister since they have bad credit :( I'm looking to find some sort of insurance now, but not sure if it'll work with pre-existing illnesses.

Thank you so much for all your support, the Arena has been a source of comfort to me through this heartbreaking time :grouphug: We're still holding out hope that this will all end well and we'll have our baby back soon :)

Poor Falcore... I wish there was more I could do to help get him better.  Paying bills is one thing, but getting him better is entirely different.  *hugs Shen*  No matter what happens, you know that you have done everything within your power to make him better.  Being an animal lover myself, with plenty of buddies who have crossed the rainbow bridge, I know that it will give you peace of mind knowing that you tried every option.  Keep the faith that there may be a turn around!  Miracles can still happen, and they have for some of my furry friends.

Just spoke with Shen, and the worst has happened. :(

Less than 10 minutes after she posted the good news about Falcore's improvements, the vet called to say that he had had several seizures as well as major organ failure.  They did what they could to save him but had to put him down in the end because he was in too much pain.  A small bright spot is that Shen and her family were able to rush down to the vet and see him one last time before he died.

She wants me to pass along her heartfelt thanks to everyone who has shown their support.  You have no idea how grateful she is for each and every one of you and the various ways in which you have contributed.  You guys have been awesome!! :hug: 

Rest in peace, sweet Falcore (May 25, 2003 - July 28, 2013).

I'm so sorry. I know how awful it is to lose a pet. I always cry uncontrollably, just let it come. know that he was loved, that you did everything for him, that he knew you cared, that he had a great life with you.
remember the wonderful out weighs the small sad parts!
There is not much to say that can make it feel better I know, but know others are praying for you in this time.

This is sad news  :-(   I've lost quite a few beloved animal friends myself... This poem always makes me cry harder, but it makes me feel a little bit better too.  Take care of yourself, Shen.  You did everything you could, and both you and Falcore were truly blessed to get to be with each other in the final moments. 

The Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Shen, if you ever need to talk, you can PM me. I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm glad to hear you were able to say goodbye. There's nothing worse than not having that opportunity.

I'm so sorry about your dog. I lost my 13 year old dog two months ago. I still miss her.

Thanks everyone :heart: This is an extremely difficult time for me and my family and the grief comes in spurts. It's almost disbelief right now because a month ago he was fine and now he's gone. It will take a very long time to heal.

But I'm so thankful for all my Arena friends and all your support :hug:

We have a few more days to sell tickets and some awesome prizes to give away so let's make the best of it ;) I'm excited to see who the winners will be!

Bump for awareness!

Thanks, Sarah... things have really quieted down on the raffle front since the start of the weekend, and even more so after Falcore died.  I think people might feel guilty at the idea of winning a prize in the midst of something so sad, or maybe there is no one left on the Arena who is interested in buying tickets?  Who knows...

In any event, we'll still keep ticket sales open until the 2nd and do the official prize drawings on the 3rd.  Even though it has slowed down quite a bit, there are still lots of people who have already participated and lots of great prizes to choose from, too.  ^.^

Post by: Sarahlacewing on July 30, 2013, 11:16:16 AM
Aw that is a possibility. 

I think selling any remaining prizes might be a good idea, especially any that were donated to the cause because then poor Shen isn't out more pieces from her private collection.  I know many people are gearing up for regional mini conventions/get togethers.  I just had a few money problems myself so I know funds can get tight quickly.  I'm sure there are still a few waiting to get their ducks in a row. :)

Maybe we should update the topic page with the current information as a memorial raffle to cover cost of care and expenses related to his passing?

My poor dog Shakey passed away over two years ago at the age of 17 due to some health issues :(

Shenanigans- I've never talked to you personally, but I am so very sad to hear about your adorable little Falcore's passing. Cuddle with the rest of your pups and they'll give you some much needed comfort at this time. And you'll always have the memories of your little guy :heart:

Thanks so much you guys :hug: I feel sorry for anyone who loses a pet. It doesn't matter if they're a good or bad person, the pain of losing a pet is so terrible that it grieves my heart to hear of a pet passing away (I avoid stories like that on the news like the plague) Big hugs to anyone who has ever gone through this horrible pain :grouphug:

And a big thank you to everyone for buying more tickets :satisfied: Even though this is a sad time for me, I love to see people happy so I want the winners of the raffle to be happy and celebrate their new ponies :) It warms my heart that everyone has come together for me and it will make me so happy to see the winners enjoy their new ponies :)

Again, so sorry for your loss Shen, although we don't have any pets, I know that for some people such as yourself they play an integral part in your family, and the loss is difficult for all involved.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this dark time.

I'm so sorry for your loss Shen. We lost our beagle a few years ago, and our cat in 2011. Both of them were about 10 years old, but they became ill so suddenly that we only had a few days to say goodbye. It's almost unfair that our pets can only spend so much time with us. I hope you and your family are doing alright, and that Falcore is in a place without pain now. :hug:

It's great to see the raffle getting some more interest again over the last couple of days.  This is really going to help immensely with the vet bills.  Thanks, everyone -- you're all just so awesome!!
:tackleglomp:

Just a little note: to those of you who have bought more than one round of tickets (i.e. $10 now and then $10 later), I am treating it as $15 + $5 since it tallies up to more tickets.  I think it's only fair.  ;) Only thing is that the extra tickets are getting tacked on to the second round, otherwise I'd have to do a mathematical juggling act, which would not only be complicated but time-consuming (not to mention I'd probably fumble up the whole operation in the process).  :lookround:

Hope that makes sense to everyone and that you all agree it's a fair course of action.  ^^;

If there are people who requested tickets but haven't yet sent payment, you still have until the morning, but any new requests will be ignored at this point.  Gotta keep it fair, after all. ;)

The main page has now been updated with everyone's names and ticket allotments, though please do feel free to check and make sure I've given you the correct amount.

Thanks so Much everyone! Thanks Lochness for doing this. I picked out a prize, but it was so hard to do so! Thank you!

I would do anything for Shenanigans.  She is one of the nicest, most generous people I've met here on the arena. :lovey:

I just wish this story had a better ending, with a healthy dog and lots of happy raffle winners, but it still is a good story in that this amazing community banded together to help out a member in need. :heart:

Aaaaand.... Red Roses has now been chosen!  I'm surprised she wasn't snapped up right away. ;) Contacting the sixth winner now.  ^.^
