Text Box: .This is me today!













Before I end this update, I want everyone to know how grateful Mom and I are to you all!  For all the emails, the love you showered on me, the well wishes and prayers, doggie beds, treats and toys!!!!!  A special thanks to my friend Kathy Zuber who hand knitted me six wonderful afghans so that I would have something soft to put my nose on during all those surgeries.  Kathy is a very special person who has been there, not only for me, but for every Collie in need by knitting her beautiful afghans and putting them up as a donation on eBay to raise funds for those injured Collies needing donations to help them get better!  Also, I want to thank four other special people whose names will remain anonymous to protect their privacy, but I am sure each one of these people will know who they are!

The first special person I would like to give thanks to is a person that gave her utmost generosity towards my medical expenses on several occasions!  The second special person was also very generous through a single check when she first read of my story.  These two people know each other very well and live in the same state and I am very grateful to both of them!  The third special person is one that sent a very generous donation to Mississippi State University which was put into the “Will Fund” established by the Staff at MSU when checks just started pouring in and finally, the fourth special person who sent me checks each month from the very beginning, after she read my story, up to my very last surgery.

After a year and one-half, I still don’t have a black nose and never will get one as it is impossible for the doctors to reconstruct one for me!  However, I am just very grateful to be alive!!!!!!  Without the prayers and generosity of everyone out there, I would not have gotten this far today as Mom would not have been able to do it herself and I can’t thank you all enough!!!!!!!!!!!

During this entire time, Mom has been saving every email that was sent to me, envelopes with letters and checks and she even saved all of the PayPal donations so she could put together a scrapbook for me.  I have received so many letters and emails that it is going to take three huge note books just to fit everything in.  I can’t believe how lucky I am to have had so many wonderful and generous people during my ordeal and I will never forget any of you for helping to save my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huge Collie hugs and kisses to all my friends, I will never forget you all!

Love always,

Will
