Gidget is a 10-year-old Pomeranian in Galveston, TX, who needs $550 for Mass Removal and Histopathology.

I LOVE dogs! I am partial to a few different breeds—Pomeranians are one of my favs! While visiting my family in DFW, I saw a post on the Galveston Island Humane Society's web page of "Mimi~found female Pom wandering around in Randall's Grocery. No collar, tags, chip. Please contact if yours or interested." I called, left a message on their voicemail & on my way home, I received the call. She has been happy here ever since!

Gidget (which means small female surfer) aka Mimi, got her new name since she lives on an island, & I've tried to give my pets beachy names. She was one of "the pack" from the get go! She loves my other Pom, Gisabella, like a sister, she chases my kitten Kika & absolutely adores my other 3—Bodhi (Aust Cattle Dog), Gypsy (rescue Staffordshire Terrier) & Buddy (adopted Great Dane). The feeling's mutual!!

The hits just kept coming: Pandemic, winter storm (week's wages lost), vet bills for ill & dying cat & dog, water leak (2x's) & now a gas leak, a broken tail bone, and a torn meniscus in my knee! I LOVE Gidget, and she depends on me to keep her safe—I depend on her to make it all worthwhile!

When Gidget went in for last vaccinations, Dr. Martinez at The Animal Clinic examined a lump on her back upper leg that I located & it was concerning due to its physiology. We decided to just "keep an eye on it" at that time. In 6 months, it doubled in size, and the physiology changed dramatically! It was recommended that it be removed and have it biopsied to see if it's malignant or benign. That way, there would only be one surgery and a definite diagnosis.

In the beginning, she was quiet & demure, but happy & content. Now, she demands! Talk about being a "TALKER!" She lets me know when she wants out or in, when she's hungry, or when she just wants to put her 2 cents worth in! And ADORABLE isn't the word! She is down right the character of the bunch when it's quiet or if she thinks it's getting boring! She also loves to sit outside while I garden! 💕
