Well it has been a trying few days (well since Saturday afternoon) we have had a very sick dog I won't go into details, but luckily we were finally able to get him into the vet today becauseI had thought that he wasn't going to be alive this morning when I got up. We were using a syringe to squirt water mixed with elecrolytes into him every 20 minutes last night. Anyhow he finally got to see a vet, and $1600 later he has had surgery, had a small bouncy ball removed from his intestine and is apparently recovering at the vets. Poor dog was apparently in a lot of pain too but didn't show it. Hopefully we can bring him home tomorrow. Definitely a trying time in our house.
Anyhow, I decided to go play in my craft room tonight. I used this inspiration from Cupcake Inspiration:
Which was similiar to the Jay Gee's Nook Challenge:
I used the sketch from My Favorite Things:
I pulled out my Ever After paper by Pebbles along with one of the a la Modes stamps from My Favorite things. The small tag is from Pretty Little Studio, the sticker is from SRM and the twine is from The Twinery. The cake has been mounted on foam dots for dimension.
Love it!

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about the trying time your family has had, including your sweet pooch. I hope you all get some rest and your dog recovers quickly. And stays away from eating stuff that causes such issues!
Pretty!! It sound like a trying time, and I am so glad your pooch is okay!
ReplyDeleteSooooo sorry to hear about the pup! A bouncy ball,of all things! Sure hope he recovers quickly now and hope your pocketbook recovers, too. I just spent more than that at the car dealership this morning, so I'm in a bit of shock. Too bad money doesn't really grow on trees. :)
