This is my way of helping a young, female Weimaraner pup named Jaeger.

Here's her story...

Adopted at the normal 11 weeks, this pup was a healthly, typical, playful new little Weimaraner puppy, named Jaeger (meaning "The Hunter" in German).  Strikingly good looking and very-good natured, this pup was on a growing streak! She went from 20lbs., when I first saw her in August, to 40lbs. weeks later in October.

Still growing, and now November, there is one problem.  As she grew so rapidly in size, a bone in her jaw grew abnormally fast, too. As the CT scan shows on her right side of the jaw it grew to a point that her mouth is permanently fused shut. With just a tiny space for her to fit a morsel of food in her mouth, she uses her forearm (above her left paw ) to shove that morsel into her mouth. It's heartbreaking.  

Jaeger in October 2015

After many vet doctors & specialists, blood tests, x-rays, CT scans, and evaluations it was decided that surgery can help this unfortunate, very rare, situation. Jaeger needs this surgery to be able, to eat, lap up water, pant, lick, play and finally be able to hold a ball or frisbee in her mouth... to have a normal life.

They're enduring the cost of this surgery to save this dog's life. Every portrait I create will go to help with the medical bills. Thank you for your prayers.... your purchase and/or contribution. 

Note:  While all of this was going on, I thought.."Why did this have to happen?  Millions of people get dogs everyday and I've never heard of this condition!"   Well, I looked for the reason, hoped I'd find the good that would result, if there was any... You know what I came up with?  I'm glad my son, Ryan & Leigh adopted Jaeger, because they're going to do what they can to see that she gets the chance to have the surgery and be able to live a normal life.  We still don't know how this story will end...but, I believe it will have a Happy Ending!  I'll keep you posted!
