My sweet Greta (on the right) lost the use of her back legs seemingly overnight, and our world turned upside down. For four years, this little girl has been a big personality in a small package—a total princess who expects her mini carrots delivered right to the couch. I'll never forget the Christmas I was wrapping presents and turned around to find her in a gift bag, tail wagging without a care in the world.

She needed back surgery to walk again, and we won't hesitate to do whatever it takes for our baby. We had to take out a high interest loan to pay for her surgery. The $7,000 cost has hit us at the worst possible time. Our HVAC is broken, one vehicle blew its engine, and we just replaced a battery in the other. We drove 7 hours to Bridger in Bozeman for her surgery. Gas and hotel maxed out our credit card. We're financially strapped, but Greta deserves every chance to run and play again.

She's the sweetest girl you'll ever meet, and watching her struggle breaks my heart. Any help toward her surgery would mean the world to our family as we fight to give our princess her legs back.
