The Recovering room

Those two puppies are hilarious, they certainly had discussions among themselves about the cones, and they didn't like me calling them "coneheads."

George is almost back to his normal self, and occasionally licking the spots, but Gracie is another matter. She is playing the role of the invalid to the hilt. The abdominal binder is causing her much grief and she won't walk with it on, even to her food dish.

 She is just lazing around, just waiting for someone to pass her a treat or brush her face or rub her belly. Or, even to give her a toy.
She thinks this is a spa.


Its a dog's life.

Lots of mistakes

Wowee I definitely shouldn't have been close to the rotary cutter yesterday. I didn't cut myself but my measuring was a way off TWICE. Instead of 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch rectangles I cut them 4 1/4. I recut and did the same thing again.... grrr. Luckily this is for a very small table topper, only 8 flying geese.

I am glad I took a hiatus from the DWR. The melons and rings are all done and I just have to sew the final two rows. Pat myself on the back here.

Then when it was all sewn together I did one upside down.
I went to bed! I'll fix it this morning.

Gracie and George are recovering, they had their life-altering spaying and neutering on Thursday. George is nearly back to normal but poor Gracie is still perplexed and cannot believe she had this happened to her.
So far she has lost two of her three sutures so I have had to put a surgical transparent dressing on it, so I can see the incision but she can't gnaw it. The cone and tea-tree oil are also being used to keep her away but.... somehow.

Anna visited her great - grandparents yesterday,her first road trip.They approved of her.

Anna Catherine

Anna Catherine arrived on early Friday morning, April 30. She weighed in at 8 pounds and is a healthy baby girl. A lovely head of auburn hair and, so far, blue eyes.

 Claire is very excited and is enjoying being the Big Sister.

We were all fooled, thinking that this baby was going to be a boy but.... so now I'll start a girly quilt for her.
