I have struggled every day since then paying for multiple hotel costs, then for rooms in shady parts of town, and most recently with a troubled felon – whatever and wherever to keep my dog by my side.  All while waiting for the promised funding from the army to keep Gimli and me safe and sane.

I should be out of the Army in less than five months and I have thrown all of my savings into moving across the world and shelter for my other half. I am desperate and don’t know what to do anymore. The Army has done amazing things for me, but I have fallen through their administrative cracks it seems.

Gimli is a wiggly and bold character. He is now two years old, and as silly and friendly as ever. He is, however, terrified of windshield wipers, for what reason I will never know. Gimli truly has saved my life. He had given me purpose and has led me to my passion in life, which is animal well-being and health.
