I wonder if there is some way to put a Patreon around your wonderful horse blogs?
This is a good idea. Or perhaps the dog would like to chronicle his adventures for the entertainment of those who are supporting his recovery.
We put up a Patreon account in April at the urging of many, and we did it wrong. We were on deadline for a book and didn't have the spoons to offer Patreon-only goodies. We were also in a bind, so we just asked people for money. We had. . .overwhelming success, and now that book is handed in, book tour is over, and checks have arrived, we're putting together some goodies, to thank people for their patience and support.
I would be upfront with people and explain the situation, and the vet bills, and I would let people choose the amount of their pledge. When we started ours, back in April the minimum auto-pledge the Patreon plugs in at the top of the patron page was a buck. I see today that they've upped it to $5, probably because some of the credit card companies don't want to handle micro-transactions.
