A happier pack

Alfie is finally pretty much back to normal, Gangley's eye is much improved and little Elmo is doing really well. Little Mojo is going white, suspect it's Elmo constant attention, he so loves Mojo!LOL. We went out for a Mother's Day meal Sunday and was away for 2 1/2 hours came home to minimal wreckage LOL.

Just finished gathering bits together for hospital on Thursday, going in at 7.30am and will be first on the list, so paws crossed I can come home later that day! Mum and Dad have kindly said they will come over and dog sit.

Camera still OOO so no new photo's but I have finally finished this digi layout. Has taken way to long and I'm still not sure I love it! Photo of Marc and Harvey visiting Pleasurewood Hills in Oct 2010 to see the Halloween spooktacular!

Weekly round up and stuff!

Where does the time go, can't believe over a week has past since I blogged!

Ruby is doing okay, she has a new pill from the vets which helps with her breathing and we've started her on the essiac tea together with some homoeopathic things that will hopefully boost her immune system and give her some extra time. It's quite hard keeping any weight on her now but she is keen to eat and walk and seems as happy as ever. This morning she and Jim chased a bunny (no they didn't catch it) and she was so excited when she came home and recovered quicker than poor old Jim who barely made it through the door before collapsing LOL. A couple of photo's of them lined up for sweeties. Think Gangley must be in amongst the legs because I remember her being there but blowed if I can spot her LOL. On the 2nd photo you can see Jim and Alfie are both missing a back leg, for different reasons.

Had a lovely birthday tea round son's Thursday eve and for his birthday present I made him a digi mini album all about the coast to coast walk.

Yesterday Dawn and I scrapped as usual and I did this hybrid page using a free kit called biker boy.

Dawn and I popped into town this morning for a mooch around and she spotted a dress in M & Co sale for £15 and persuaded me to try it on, fitted so well and looked so nice that I bought it,  lord knows where I think I'll wear it LOL. anyway it made my day finding something that looked good and was cheap LOL.

Tomorrow we're off to Mum's 70th birthday BBQ (birthday is actually Monday), looking forward to that, love meeting up with all the extended family which doesn't happen often these days as there are so many of us LOL....

Phew that was a long one, better not leave it so long me thinks LOL.

arrgh! 3 hospital appointments later

Sometimes life is just so arrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything I touch goes wrong at the moment! the house is a mess as we had a new boiler fitted and had to take everything out of the airing cupboard, who would have thought so much could have been shoved in there. So Mr T has a filthy cold and due to lack of pills I look and feel like an old girl (please don't say it I know) so not only is it all waiting to go back, I have a huge grey streak awaiting a colour job and neither of us have the energy for any of it. And as for my PC and printers well lets just say I could scream, talk about being difficult, I'll ask Mr T to sort it all when he feels better but until then arrrgh!!!

Anyway 3 hospital appointments since last post, hand is ok and is now on it's 3rd plaster cast and ulcer is starting heal, that's the good news, the bad bit is it's unlikely I will ever be able to go back on my RA pills and that just sucks! and even when cast comes off hand will still be useless due to ruptured tendons, I can't decide if it's hurry up and do the next op to fix them or oh god give me a break from hospital. LOL.

Have managed to make this little mini album, it's a digi kit called hoo loves you, just needs putting together.

Really looking forward to going out Saturday to crop and have even got stuff sorted.

Ruby continues to be happy and settled but has broken another nail, so I'll leave you with a few hound photo's from this week.

Ruby looking pretty and cute

3 in a bed

spot Mojo

and Mojo breaking his heart because his Dad went out to take Jim for a ride to the meadow and he got left behind LOl he went on the 2nd run so don't be worrying he missed out LOL.

and Gangley and Jim just because!

papermaze crop

What a difference 48 hours can make!

Had a wonderful day at papermaze crop and so enjoyed catching up with my crafting friends and having a normal day LOL.

Hand, hip and tummy are all feeling much more comfortable today and one has stopped feeling soory for one's self LOL.

I do have to say a massive thank you to my bestest friend Dawn who takes such good care of me when we're out and is the only person in the world Eric trusts to look after me and to Carol who made me the most gorgeous card (actually I've had loads from all the girls several times over, maybe I should give them back and they can resend them each time I get myself into a pickle LOL).

Finally finished this LO which has been ongoing since first op in Oct LOL, couldn't manage to ink the flowers but still quite happy with it. The photo was taken in 2007 and is of me, Eric, Vik, Marc (son) and Ben. It's a papermaze kit using papers from Fancy Pants.

Then shock horror I finished off another layout, my first hybrid page, kit was designed by Janina for Bramford crop and had the most beautiful script and bird stamps, well stamping isn't possible at the moment and although people offered to do it for me I decided to have a go at creating it digitally. Then I added the photo and flowers and I am really chuffed with it. It does look so much more beautiful IRL. Photo is of me Eric and Ben all dressed up at Marc and Rachael's wedding last year. Photo's are rubbish but there is no light here today and dark and gloomy.

Finally some good news re Lucky her urine levels had dropped significantly when she went to the vets Friday! maybe we are finally on the right track and it is a thyroid problem.

Ruby continues to be the perfect house guest and Lucky is really enjoying her company, she has been quite lonely since little Rulu passed away as Rulu was her special friend.

So a few photo's of Ruby and co chilling out.....with Jim, then Jim Gangley and Alfie and lastly Ruby all stretched out.
