Campaign Story
Hello everyone,
My name is Samantha, and I am the Owner of TeePaw Creations, and a friend of Danielle and Olaf!
If you know Danielle or follow Olaf's social media accounts, you probably have heard that Olaf has been gotten quite sick the past few days. From what they first thought was just a case of kennel cough has quickly progressed to one of the worst cases of Pneumonia that the vet has seen. Our poor boy is currently having his lungs pumped, is on oxygen, and is hooked up to an IV for fluids.
No one expects something like this to happen to their pup, especially at 1 year old (having JUST celebrated his 1st birthday last week). With that being said, vet bills are going to be piling up for Danielle and Wes, the week before their first anniversary :(
So, this is where we come in! Friends, family, play-date buddies and Olaf lovers across all platforms!! As they are expecting he will have to stay in emerg for the next week unless he responds to treatment, with vet bills getting up to the $10,000 mark, every little bit counts. If you can only give $1, that dollar will be greatly appreciated. If you cannot donate (we understand that it will not be possible for everyone), we would love you forever if you could share this with your friends!!
If you would like to donate through here, that is great! You can also donate directly to my paypal account (all money WILL be going to Danielle, Wes and Olaf. I am just organizing it all while they focus on Olaf), feel free to send those donations to [email protected].
I'll be posting updates as I get them, to try and keep everybody in the loop. Thank you so much <3

Update posted by Samantha Driedger at 04:10 am"We have an internal medicine dr taking a look at Olaf today. The vet is worried that he's not progressing as fast as he should if he were going to live so they are testing a few different things to see if there could be something else going on. His. . . . .
Update #5
Update posted by Samantha Driedger at 08:11 pmHello everyone! I just had a REALLY nice visit with Danielle this afternoon, getting an update on Olaf. As of this morning, Olaf's white blood cell count has raised a bit (which is AMAZING, as his blood cell count was originally nonexistant before), and he even stood up on his. . . . .

Update posted by Samantha Driedger at 09:37 pmFrom Danielle this morning:"His breathing seems to have stabilized a bit since last night and we got him to eat 4-5 tbs of high calorie food this morning!

Update posted by Samantha Driedger at 05:32 pmJust heard from Danielle again.Olaf's breathing has gotten worse, but even with that, he was able to eat about a tablespoon of baby/puppy food for the first time in 48 hours! This is a small step, but the main concern is still his breathing. Lets continue to send our thoughts
Update #2
Update posted by Samantha Driedger at 02:27 pmOur little man is still fighting. Despite having levels dropped over night, he's still pushing on, and opened his eyes this morning. We're really hoping his stats pick up over the next bit, and he's able to eat some food! Thank you to everyone who's donated and who's shared! The
Update #1
Update posted by Samantha Driedger at 03:09 amSo Olaf is still in the emergency vet, but he is on antibiotics, antiinflammtories, fluids and oxygen! They are hoping that an evening of medication will improve his situation some, as he is currently septic and on life support. We are blown away by the support so far!! Thank you

Dear Olaf and parents, when we started Felix' Instagram we immediately found Olaf's profile. Even though there are so many Sammys on Instagram, we could never forget his photos wearing a tie in front of a white background. Hopefully he will get better soon. We wish you a lot of strength and send you our love. Sven, Julia & Felix
