The State of the Mop (kindness of strangers edition)

I took the Mop* to the vet this morning--no microchip, and no Lost Dog posters fitting his description. He's going back this afternoon for a proper checkup. In the meantime, he continues to be the nicest dog ever, and is fabulous in the car. He even perked up when "Rainbow in the Dark" came on the radio.

Here is the part where I shamelessly beg the internet for help. The Mop is wonderful and friendly and adorable, and I'm sure I'll find him a good home, but I really don't want to dump him at the shelter and hope for the best. He needs a serious grooming, and a round of shots before that (though hopefully not any operations--I can't judge the state of his harbls in his present condition), and I am really freakin' broke right now.

I'll be having a jewelry sale all week, which will help with Mop-related expenses. But if you're not interested in or can't afford jewelry, and have a few dollars to spare, a tiny dog and I will be eternally grateful. I can take PayPal at exoblivione AT gmail DOT com, or hopefully through the magic button below.

And remember, this tiny dog loves you, and wants to give you kisses.



*To recap for anyone who missed my first post, I found a tiny dog running in our busy street yesterday. Collar but no tags, No one in our neighborhood knows him, and he's so horribly filthy that he must have been outside for a while. He was all too happy to come home with me.

State of the Mop, ongoing

The Mop has been vaccinated, flea-treated, and given a first dose of dewormer. Luckily he is heart-worm free. The vet guesses him to be a Lhasa mix, and around four years old. Tragically (though he might argue), his harbls are intact. I make a disapproving bunny face at his original people. Tomorrow he goes in to the groomer.

A huge thank you to everyone who's donated to the Mopfund so far! I'll post more pictures after his bath and haircut.
