Homemade Gifts

I made these two gifts this month. One for my sister, one for my friends birthday.





I also made about 20 headbands for my niece. Those pictures up soon!

So we got Delilah back last Saturday night and she is doing wonderful! She is hyper, playful and eating on her own. I gave her a middle name....its Lively...we are dorks. We just can't believe how well she is. She eats a TON! She likes to bite and attack my face. Its like she is a totally different dog! Praise God.
I had a lot of pictures to post, but something happened to my SD card in our little camera that we take everywhere...what a bummer. Good news is, you can buy 2G SD cards for $10 now!
Ok, until next time...

Just another Friday night...

This past weekend some girlfriends from work and I made some cute ornaments!! Here are mine:

This afternoon I had fun playing with some old pictures I found on my camera. I miss these kids. Its been like a week since I saw them!




The joys of getting your picture taken. What torture kids must feel!

A Pupdate.

Man I wish I had something cooler to blog about.

We have an update on Delilah! 

On Saturday night we contacted the breeder to find out if any other puppies were sick, if they knew how to care for a pup like her, etc, etc. They are a great couple who have been breeding for 10 years so we thought they may know something. Well, after telling them about her, they wanted to take her back and care for her until she is 100%. We dropped her off that same night and she has progressively gotten a little better. They wanted to see if should would take back to nursing but she is past that. They said today she drank water on her own which is a big step! They also have her on antibiotics to maybe flush out any illness that is making her so weak. When we first gave her back they said she didn't look good AT ALL and were very concerned. I am very grateful that they offered to care for her. It was so much work to feed her one hour then put fluids in her the next. We love her so much but we wouldn't of been able to care for her like that with work and all. And forcing a syringe in a little puppies mouth isn't easy! 

I thank God for this answered prayer, and continue to pray for full recovery...

Prayer request...

Ok, this may sound strange or unnecessary, but we have a need in our home. Delilah is very sick. She has been not eating, throwing up and very lethargic. She doesn't act like a little puppy. We took her to the vet the other day, and she was tested for Parvo but that came back negative. The vet said she looked healthy and normal we just have to force feed her. Well, this morning was EXTREMELY scary. Chris got up for work and panicked when he saw little Delilah. She was on her back and couldn't move her head or right limbs. She was in a comatose state. We rushed her to the vet and she is now doing ok, but she had a blood sugar attack which is normal for Chihuahuas. They wanted to hold her there all day at the cost of $500! Yowza! We took her home instead but she still isn't eating and is very lethargic and still throwing up. They tested her for worms and parasites and a few other things but its all negative. We don't know why she won't eat! This is so sad! I know she is just a pup that we've only had a few days, but we can't lose another dog already. Its so heartbreaking. Please pray for her little health to be restored!!!

Chris & His Girl

....no, not me- the puppy. He is in love with her. He needed this :)

She only cried the very first night we brought her home, but now she sleeps all through the night without a peep. Since yesterday she has been throwing up and not eating much. I am very worried but Chris says not to be. The vet opens soon so I will be calling!
Also our garbage disposal broke and we cant use the kitchen sink. This happened after I cooked dinner last night, so we have a mess of nasty dishes everywhere. Oh, it messed up the dishwasher as well. We've had a lot of expenses this month, we really don't need this too! AH!
