The procedure has been moved up — tomorrow is Heart Repair Day for our sweet Sapphire/Han Solo.
Sapphire/Han Solo will have the cutting balloon angioplasty tomorrow (Wednesday) to hopefully correct his rare double-chambered right ventricle; this is happening at the veterinary school at the University of Minnesota.
Baby Sapphire — always his Mama’s Favorite 💙
I have been asked by multiple people if they can help with the cost of his care. Wow. What kindness from the community that has surrounded and embraced the Gems – thank you.
I never want to reject gifts offered with love, especially because gifts of all kinds are an important way to show support. A pink sheep, a stained-glass name plaque, a pair of socks, or a contribution of any size towards expensive and life-saving care – each communicates such wonderful things we humans all need to feel.

Even for an optimist, it is scary and terrifying to have a 13-week-old puppy undergoing a heart procedure.
At home in Minnesota
There are many ways to send support to Han Solo/Sapphire and his humans. But because it can be hard to send casseroles via the mail, people asked me if they could contribute towards the cost of his care at the University of Minnesota.

To be clear, Tricia and Dave are not doing a fund raiser; they are prepared to assume the cost of Han Solo/Sapphire’s care. But I know well the value of both giving and receiving love and support – and so I asked Tricia and Dave to consider accepting the gifts people were offering to Han Solo/Sapphire, and to them.

And so if you would like to make a monetary gift of support towards Han Solo/Sapphire’s procedure tomorrow, here are the details of how to do that directly to U of MN’s veterinary school where he will be receiving care:
Call 612-626-8387 and then press 5.
Tell them you want to put money on the account of Sapphire Munter — his Case Number is 70594825 or the Munter client number is 549418.
