Just checking in with the group. I can't remember when I last posted, but I'm here for a brief bit.
The family went through 12 weeks of various illnesses, but I think that we are finally out of all of that silliness. However, the chaos didn't start there. On 4/1, my darling pup had a seizure. We took her to the vet and she was put on phenobarb to control the seizures. Well, 2 days later she had another one and didn't come out of it. We had already decided that if there was no chance of her recovering, we wouldn't force her to stay with us in a constant state of misery. Darling girl passed on with me hugging her and telling her how much we loved her. We made it through the night, barely, and DS was having a horrible day at school. DS, DD, and I headed to the shelter and came home with Brady, a 110 pound chocolate lab, 4 years old, cross-eyed, and goofy.
Brady doesn't replace Deanna or make the pain of losing her go away, but he's so dang lovable that he IS helping to ease the ache. He's also getting my creative juices flowing again as he is entirely too large for the cushions that I've made for the cats and Deanna. Brady won't go near the cushion that Deanna used to sleep on, so I will wash it and donate it to the shelter or the animal hospital that all the critters go to. So.....I will try to figure out a decent set of measurements and then go through the stash of fabric that I have to make him his own little....er....large bed.
Anyway, that's what's going on around here, when I'm not trying to redo the sewing room...lol.
