Giving Back to Onyx and Breezy

A couple years ago Brooklyn got really sick, and we found out she had heartworm.  The disease was advanced and large worms were already growing in her heart, so she needed serious treatment right away.  It was heartbreaking because she needed shots and to remain crated for almost 10 weeks. She's so playful and wanted to just do puppy things, but while the worms were dying we had to keep her as still as possible.  It was a rough couple of months for us, and to top it off the treatment was well over $1,000.  That was a lot of money for us at the time, so Brian's mom told us about the Onyx and Breezy foundation



We submitted a letter and photos of Brooklyn, and they covered nearly the full cost of her care.  It was so generous, and we're so lucky to have Brooklyn around today because of their gift.

Every year Onyx and Breezy has a silent auction, and Brian's mom asked me donate a scrapbook for it.  It has a dog theme and plenty of room for photos and journaling.  I used a Bo Bunny Press pets line, and I think it came out really well.  I'm thankful for the opportunity to give something back to an organization that gave so much to us.

I love the pictures of Brooklyn, I don't think I have ever seen a picture of her. Great idea about the scrapbook for the auction, I hope it brings in a lot of money for a great cause.
