Sexy Winged Beast Day 26

I must say that I have enjoyed better Octobers.

This has been a rough one. And by the time it's over

I'll be ready to enjoy it. That's why all the decorations

will be out until Thanksgiving. Well, there are a good amount

that stay out all year long, but you get the idea.

Check out this schmexy chick from Rick St. Dennis.

Her name is 'Batty Bettina'. Pretty cute, huh?

I colored in non-traditional Halloween colors for a change.

I was beginning to bore myself with the same old lime green,

orange, and purple color schemes. It was difficult to find papers

that looked okay, though....

I am almost completely done with this Halloween themed album.

Three more pages, and the covers, and I am done. Finally.

It has been fun though. I have no idea what I'm going to do with

it once I'm done, but I'll figure something out. 

Thanks for sticking with me so far. 

Not much longer now, and we can get back to our

regularly scheduled lives.  

Be sure to check out these month

long blog hops going on right now!

31 Days of Halloween 

Countdown to Halloween  

PARVO UPDATE:

Both the girls are on the mend!! Foxxi is doing very well. We are so

proud of her progress. She even felt well enough to model her fall sweaters 

for us yesterday. Gabbi is eating solid foods, and is happy she doesn't need a 

sweater. I think we're going to be okay. Can I cry now? What a week.....  

I'm struggling to find the humor Day 23

I can usually make a joke, or find the joke in anything.

Totally inappropriate most times, but funny none the less.

I have to say it's been a few days since I've laughed. 

I've managed a smile, but no heartfelt guffaws have been released.

Today we found out that my baby, Gabbi also has the parvovirus

despite being fully vaccinated and receiving a booster on Monday.

I feel like such a failure as a pet parent. I let her get sick by not

being educated enough, or diligent enough in keeping her safe. 

But the option of having a vet care for her is completely out of the 

question. We thought it was $900 for  a week's stay at the vet.

More like $900 PER DAY!! We were seriously left with

no option but to care for the sick babies at home. So far we're about

$700 in for all the treatments and IVs, and pills. Too much money,

but far more palatable and reasonable than $900 per day.

Little Foxxi is starting to improve. She kept down water and food today

which is pretty huge. She only weighs 9 lbs to begin with, so keeping

her hydrated and fed proteins is a big step in the right direction.

Still lots of work ahead of us... 

So, if I suddenly stop posting for the hops, you'll know why.

Two sick pups is no fun. 

And leaves very little time to craft...   

Which brings me to my artsy fartsy for the day.

I made a quick ATC using some Martha Stewart paper, 

and a Kraftin' Kimmie image called, Mister Punkin Head.

I perched a glittery, puffy sticker raven on his hand (thanks, Deb),

and added a bat punch to the top for more dimension and interest.

Thanks so much for stopping by and listening to me whine.

I had such high hopes of making some incredible projects and posts 

for the 31 Days of Halloween and the Countdown to Halloween.

Being sick for the first half really set me back, and now with the 

furkids, it keeps getting harder to keep up.

I've come this far, so I'm really hoping to see this through.

See ya tomorrow??
