Muffin is a 3-year-old Blue Heeler / Lab / Pit mix in Dupont, WA, who needs $2,000 for Sialocele.

This is muffin. She has been with us since she was just 8 weeks old. She is honestly our best friend. She has traveled home to home through the military, at one time she was a registered ESA. She has 3 pup siblings and enjoys getting her bark box and pup cup every month. She is a total wierdo and a spaz but still the best dog I have ever owned.

We have a toddler and muffin is her best friend. Ever since she was born muffin would always look at us like she was the boss and we were doing something wrong because clearly that’s her baby and not mine. She is protective but also will play and bring her her ball. My husband brings muffin into his job sometimes and she is the star of the show.

Muffins nickname is gremlin because she sits on the couch all slumped over like a human, when she sees you she comes running and will wag her whole butt rather that her tail. She smiles with all of her teeth (which is kinda derpy if you ask me) she has like 80 tennis balls currently that she HAS to bring into the house when it rains to save them.

Muffin has a swollen siliva gland—- so we thing. We have been going to Blue Pearl Tacoma Emergency vet and they have told us the swelling is too much unless they get in there and cut her open and dig around to be able to accurately diagnose and treat her. What ever it is is not causing her pain however we are worried she will die by it blocking her airway if it gets any worse.

I am 30 weeks pregnant, out of work due to being a disabled veteran, recently got in a car accident and lately it seems like life has just been hitting extra hard. We have already paid $2000 out of pocket for muffins diagnostics and treatment.
