Update on Jaxson

Well, the good news is, it's extreme colitis. And NOT Pancreatitis (just went through that with Bagheera!)  :(  Or a stick or anything poisonous he might have eaten. (They did x-rays, and blood tests...) Which leads me to the bad news, how expensive it was.  But, I am SO relieved he is okay (or, will be okay--hopefully!)!!! We got two different antibiotics, and an anti-vomiting/nausea pill packet.   He had to have a muzzle on because he was growling and didn't want the tech assistant or the Vet to come near him. I actually had to put the muzzle on him, the Vet left the room. LoL. I had to hold the stethoscope to him too so the assistant could listen to his heart.  He had a fever of 102.7. I think he is starting to feel better, though. I bought him a big huge new rope today (he LOVES his rope). He is eating and drinking still and no more bloody poops or vomiting.  :D  I am so relieved!

This is a bookmark I made for one of my pen pals. She had sent me a letter with that girl on it. So I "re-purposed" it into a bookmark for her.

I went to an Estate Sale this morning. A new member in my Quilt Group I am in posted on the Facebook page that she was having an estate sale and had yarn and fabric. Her Mom was going to open a store but I don't know what happened...  It was all more like her stash that she had. And, I was hoping they had that exact color of purple on the left! And they did! Yay! I started a Hippo Pillow with that color I had almost a whole skein in my stash (the pattern says you only need one skein). And I am almost done with the first side, and I am almost out of purple yarn. Now I will have enough, I think.

And, this bag full of partial balls. I will use these for scrap afghans probably. Mitered squares or grannies.

RIP Bagheera :(

We lost our kitty Bagheera in April, on our oldest sons' birthday. He had been throwing up one day and all night and I took him straight into the vet the next morning. He said it's pancreatitis. (I didn't know anything about that...) They kept him over night and I thought he would be okay. They gave me "meds" for him: A probiotic and pain meds and I don't even know (four things I was giving him). I was supposed to call by Saturday if he wasn't eating or drinking. (He wasn't.) He died on Saturday at about 2 in the morning. Poor kitty!!! :(   I felt so bad for him! He was so young, only three years old. 

He was the coolest cat. He liked getting in the laundry basket (and his bed was right next to it, lol).

And he loved boxes. :)

The day we adopted him.  Cosmo is now on a low fat diet and he is doing all right. But now Jaxson has been having bloody poops... :(  I made him an "emergency" appointment for tomorrow morning.. I changed all their food and watch what I give them like a hawk. I don't know what is wrong with him. The only thing I can think of is he's always eating sticks and getting in the garbage eating Q-tips and things he's not supposed to.  This has not been a good year....

I managed to finish some fingerless gloves. I started them because someone in my Quilt group asked me to knit her some. I couldn't figure out the pattern AT all, with everything going on I just can't clear my head to even focus on anything. But, I had started and ripped back and re-knit the first glove so many times. I was too emotionally invested in them to just give up. LoL.  So I asked my knitting friends on Facebook for help.  This is the pattern I used, maybe it's just me..

And these what I call my "Hotel Slippers". I crocheted them when I went to Denver. I'm actually wearing them right now. They are a free pattern, too.

The actual crocheting when I started them at the hotel. (So exciting...)  

And, I don't know why, but I crocheted a face mask emoji. Another free pattern.
I've been wanting to crochet something (not like I need to start another new project!!) But I don't know what.. This was a kind of fun project. I hadn't crocheted anything since the Hotel Slippers and finishing a baby afghan. (I forgot to post that..)   Well I will try to post more (my famous last words).  We may be moving again. (Loooong story, and it's 99.8% chance we are moving, my husband got a new job with his old company..)  Sigh...
