Can you help Daffy of @NoCryBabyDogs?

My furriends, I know we give a lot of money to a lot of causes. Well, now one of our own dear dear pals is the one who needs help. Daffy's mom, Ingrid, is sick and can use not just our love and prayers, but whatever pennies and nickels and dimes we can scrape together. I hope Ingrid doesn't get too mad at me for doing this, but I love them and want to help.

Ingrid has vertigo. I know what this is cuz my mom gets a milder form of it. It makes you so sick and nauseous and dizzy you don't even want to get up. At its worst, you can't work. You can't take care of yourself. You can't even stand up without falling. Mom's is real mild and she says it's the worst sickness she's ever had, and she's had whooping cough and pneumonia and all kinds of other things. She can't even imagine how bad it is for Ingrid.

It takes lots and lots of green papers to take care of yourself when you have bad vertigo. You need special medicine and someone to come take care of you. But you're too sick to get any green papers. That's where we, the anipal community, come in.

Our pal @Mariodacat has put up a chip in on his blog, Mario's Meowsings. If you have any green papers to spare, please go to the chipin. I know the goal Mario set has already been met, but I also know those green papers won't last very long. I'd like to see us collect double what the goal was.

Another way you can help is to go to Ingrid's and Daffy's shop on Etsy, http://www.etsy.com/shop/nocrybabydogs. Ingrid sells beautiful cards there. I'd be very surprised if you didn't find something you like.

Another thing you can do is if you haven't gotten your copy of "Summer at the Lake with Petie", go buy it now. All proceeds from the sales through Labor Day will go to help Ingrid and Daffy. You can get the book here: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1706628. I know at the book site it says the proceeds will go to Duncan's Place Cat Sanctuary, but I'm sure they won't mind if I detour some of the proceeds to help someone who's done so much for the anipal community.

We're so generous with those we don't know. Let's see how generous we can be for one of our own!
