   Anyone who has ever owned a dog or cat knows that losing a pet is very
   hard to endure. But to lose one pet unexpectedly, and almost lose
   another is excruciating. Marsha Morgan knows about this kind of pain.
   
   Marsha lost her dog Cotton last June, and another of her dogs, Mo Mo
   had to have expensive surgery to be saved. Marsha was in debt more
   than US$1500. After a column appeared in the Akron Beacon Journal (5
   July 1995, p. D3) describing her situation, she was able to pay for
   most of the debt. But she still has bills totalling $650 ("if nothing
   else goes wrong,"she adds). Her job does not pay well, and she has
   struggled to make it this far. She would like your help.
   
   Cotton's death, and Mo Mo's difficulties began when a neighbor
   complained to Marsha about her dogs barking. Three of her four dogs
   had been abused by previous owners, and she was working to retrain and
   rehabilitate them when a lawsuit was brought against her by her
   neighbor. He had collected a number of signatures from other nearby
   residents, and Marsha was given two weeks to do something about her
   dogs.
   
   She couldn't bear the thought of giving up her dogs, so she made a
   decision she now regrets. She took Cotton and Mo Mo to a vet and had
   them "debarked." Complications arose from the surgery, and Cotton's
   breathing passage became constricted, resulting in a stroke and a
   collapsed lung, according to the Beacon Journal article. Mo Mo started
   exhibiting symptoms similar to those that took Cotton, and several
   surgeries were required to save him.
   
   "I don't want anyone to be barked into a corner like I was last
   winter,"Marsha told me in her letter. "I had no place to go for help.
   I made the wrong choice."
   
   Marsha is also looking for a small 10,000 BTU air conditioner (16.5" x
   31" or smaller) for her dog shed, to cut down on Mo Mo's panting and
   stress during the summer heat.
