My sweet sweet baby is home :) but she's not doing so good :(....I have to make a tough choice on Monday when she goes back to get more blood drawn, once the doc tells me how her blood work is then we can proceed...she looks like those commercials you see on T.V with abused and neglected animals, all emaciated :( it's breaking my heart but we are trying everything to get her to eat and drink, she's so happy to be home and is with me constantly so I am really trying to hold her as much as I can, so please bear with me. I haven't been able to make any cards because my focus is all on her. I hope to be back to blogging soon...please keep good thoughts for her recovery, for the other animal lovers out there, rest assured she is not in pain, she just looks bad, I would not make her suffer even one day if she was in any kind of pain.... Thank You!!! Come Again!!! Mandy

Hi Everyone! I'm sorry I'm not posting a card today..I had to take my baby Mica to the hospital this morning, she was not doing good this weekend...Doc called me and told me she has a severe infection and he's hooked her up to an IV and that her x-rays show she has fluid in her lungs, so he's going to fight it aggressively and he was going to keep her overnight..So I am so worried and scared that she won't make it but doc is saying that he feels strongly that he can save her, so PLEASE keep positive thoughts for my baby to make it..I don't want to lose two of my beloved dogs within two months of each other, how devastating ...I will be back tomorrow...

Hi Everyone!!! well I don't have any cards to show you today :( sorry! I didn't have enough time yesterday to make one but as soon as I finish posting this I am crafting today :)...This morning has already been a whirlwind both Rocky and Mica had to see the vet. I guess Rocky had a cold from the shelter and gave it to Mica, so both dogs are having a hard time breathing and poor Mica is coughing so much, it's worrisome because Mica is 15 and for her to get sick is frightening. Doc put them on antibiotics so hopefully that will help them both...Aren't these picts so cute :)...he's such a cutie! both Mica and Rocks sleep with us so it's been fun because he snores like a truck driver and with his nose being so stuffed he is even louder LOL! ....As soon as his bike/jogger stroller comes in I'll take pictures of him again LOL! yep not kidding hehe...well that's enough about the dogs because I want to make a card :) so I will be back tomorrow :) have a great day Thank You!!! Come Again!!! Mandy
