| The image and sentiment is from CB's Christmas Song A5 sheet. I coloured the bird with Graph'It markers and added blue bling to the hanging ornaments. The snowflakes in the bg is from the new Snowy Scenes A5 sheet, stamped with VersaMagic Sea Breeze. |

Rosie's Update:
Another trying couple of days for Rosie. We still can't keep her fever down without medication. By dawn on Saturday she hit an all time high of 41ºC (105.8ºF) and had to be admitted immediately. Despite all the setbacks she's soldiering on, tail wagging, without complaining. We just need to stabilise her temperature and allow the antibiotics to kick in. That seems to be the hardest battle right now. My daily mantra to her is "not today, not without a fight". Truth is, I don't know if I'll ever be ready to face "the day". And so we keep fighting, for as long as she is willing to.
Thank you so much for all your prayers and well wishes. These little gestures make a world of difference to us. I wish you all a happy and blessed Sunday, friends.
Beijinhos!

Oh Asha I am so sorry. I really hope the vet can lower her temperature soon and then the antibiotics should work. Our pets become our best friends after a while and it is so hard when they are ill. So I am sending you both hugs.

Asha, hugs for your little Rosie, and hope she will continue to fight back to wellness. Prayers for her continual fight back to normalcy. Thanks for the beautiful interpretation on the challenge. Love the red & light blues & of course the sweet bird image. Those S/Binders look super swell combined as you did them. Also on the gelli: If I can do it, I KNOW you can can! It's basically just playing. I have a long, long way to go on that technique! Hugs & best to Rosie.
ReplyDeleteThe card is so pretty and delicate. I love it. Poor Rosie and you...She seems to be a strong girl. I hope the fever breaks and she will get better. Hugs
