So far today

this Cornish heritage farms frog chorus came to me as a PIF image from Alison. I think this is just too dang cute. colored it with prisma pencils. the green pp is from Karen foster. the tan textured mat is bazzill, the Enjoy (su lovely labels) is stamped with versafine Spanish moss on barely banana. the yellow card base is from Neenah papers. Tag is unknown and the ribbon i believe could be May Arts but, also unknown.
This Penny Black (missed you) hedgehog came to me via wish rak, and its colored with prisma pencils. its up on pop dots. the grosgrain is SU but not sure on the color, (got it in rainy's swap a few years ago) think the pp could be dcwv? sentiments from A Muse and the cardbase is Purely Pomegranate. this is 4 1/2X6 inches in real life.
Grace went through her vet visit very well (for her) vet was impressed by how well she behaved (more then last month) so that's good. the main thing now is we are all hoping she has epilepsy. (that the blood work comes in as nothing wrong) if her seizures are caused by something that could be found in the blood test (won't know till wed) then this will more or less mean she will have a very short life with alot of medical problems. pain suffering etc. so, if she has epilepsy it would mean medication and she could live fairly normal for years. (depends) her teeth and jaw bones were checked and her bottom jaw is too narrow to be able to get the plate in her mouth ( to force the teeth to grow around the top jaw) so, the vet is also looking for a vet that does the cut off the tips of the canine teeth and cap them thing. ( she doesn't have the equipment for that in her hospital) this dental work is more invasive then the plate. At any rate Grace could use a few prayers if you have a spare one. thanks!

Oh, poor Gracie! I didn't know she was going through this testing... I must have missed a post or 2...

Nonetheless, I sure hope the blood work comes back clean and that the seizures are just epilepsy...
Prayers to all in your family and your sweet girly dog!

PS.. just finished 'Racing In the Rain'.. A book written from a dog's perspective... It is so good!

Poor Grace! I hope all turns out well for her.

Beautiful cards - love the frog chorus.

Oh no poor little Grace. I hope that you have been in contact with the breeders about all her problems. I think that's really surprising that a thorough bred dog should have so many issues. They had better check their breeding lines. It's not like you are just going to hand her back in for a replacement after you bring her home fall in love with her and make her part of the family.
