Many know and love Noodle from his blog https://noodle4president.wordpress.com. Jamison is his feline brother. On Monday, Dec. 26, Jamison was attacked by Rudee, the black mouthed cur who has been living with the family while they try to find him another home. (Prior to this, he has never shown any signs of aggression.) Jamison remains in critical condition. He has 3 pelvic fractures and his left leg is paralyzed (unknown if it is permanent or due to the fractures). He had surgery that night to insert 2 drains and to place 14 sutures. Jamison has not made much improvement. He’s battling hypothermia on and off . He’s anemic – platelets should be 30, and are steadily dropping; the last count was at 20. This could possibly be due to high fluid intake diluting blood, or possibly a bleed that hasn’t been pinpointed. He’s not eating on his own at all and still isn’t walking but he’s very doped up on pain meds so it’s to be expected. His prognosis remains guarded.
Every afternoon at 4:45 the family has to pick him up from the vet and transport him to the overnight emergency vet. Then in the morning they pick him up at 7:30 to bring him back to the day vet.
They have incurred well over $2000 in vet bills so far and there are many more to come for Jamison’s recovery.
Noodle’s Mom set up a gofundme account when our Lexi came down with cancer, and we were facing about $2500 in medical bills. So many of you helped! Every donation was greatly appreciated and added up to ease the financial burden. Won’t you please help Noodle and Jamison’s family now by going to GoFundMe? If you would like to avoid the admin fees, you are welcome to email me at lexi at lexitheschnauzer dot com and I will give you their address. I know not everyone can help financially, but please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.
Good to know. I will be sure Samantha is also aware for Noodle’s sake. He is her heart dog and she would be absolutely devastated if anything happened to him.

Black Mouth Cur’s have a very strong prey drive. Unfortunately, it’s not just cats, they’re not safe around any small animal. So tragic.

When I went to the GoFundMe link, it wants me to start a campaign. Is there one already set up for Samantha for Jamison?

You are so thoughtful, Amy. I can’t even being to imagine the expense involved with what is being done for Jamison. Thank you for your love and kindness. We’ll head on over to the GoFundMe page. Warm wishes for a promising 2017.

Amy – I mailed a check this morning. But an FYI when I click on your link for GoFundMe it has me create an account to have my own fundraiser – it does NOT take me to their Go Fund Me Campaign.

It’s a hard decision to make. Also makes me worry about Noodle.

I am tempted to say destroyed as this was a very cruel act on the dog’s part. I wouldn’t feel the same toward an animal that can cause that much destruction without hesitation. Did the dog feel anything toward the cat? Or was it’s main focus just to destroy?

When we lived in a travel trailer in a park, we had two Siamese cats like now. We also had a Rottweiler next door. He had been brought up with cats and loved them. He was putty in their paws. I guess a certain amount depends on the personality of the dog.

Some dog breeds naturally hate cats, like Rottweilers who were bred to kill wild cats. I don’t know if that is true for black mouthed curs.

I mis-spoke. This was Samantha’s mother-in-law’s dog, not her mother’s. And I didn’t understand what you meant by the dog must be released from his aggression???

Of course, I knew that. I misspoke. I am going to correct that now in the post. Thanks for the heads up, Noodle’s Grandma. 🙂

This is the one Samantha got “stuck with” when her mother moved. She has been trying to find a home for him. I don’t know what they are going to do about him now that this has happened. He’s always been the calm, unaggressive one. Until this tragedy.

Amy – if you just email me their address, I’ll get a check in the mail tomorrow to help. I just got a small royalty payment for kindle sales of the new book, I’d not dedicated that to any specific rescue group yet so no one will go without.
