Remember that awesome quilt I posted a few days ago....well, I went to a benefit dinner for Freedom Greyhound Rescue and of course I bought some raffle tickets....I know at least 300 were sold as one of my tickets was 296....and GUESS WHAT....I WON! I WON that awesome quilt! YAY!!!

Thursday News!

Baloo being the hottie that he is! :o)

Baloo went to the vet yesterday and his "tumor" was a pocket of fluid! YAY! The vet wasn't sure at first if it was fat or fluid so I am not completely crazy.

Today Ethan went to have his tail amputated...he is still at the vet...they were stitching him up at 3:00 when I called them. I am not yet sure if he is coming home tonight yet or not. This am they acted like probably not but this afternoon they acted like probably....so don't know yet.

Kayla and Katelyn took an assessment test yesterday as school since they are technically new students in the school system. So today, the guidance counselor told Katelyn that their language arts scores blew her away! So they are eligible for the enriched (or gifted) program if they want to switch to it. The math assessments have not yet been graded so we don't about those yet...we are supposed to find out tomorrow the actual scores of everything.

And final news of the day~~~Kayla and Katelyn are excited about selling their magazines and cookie dough for their fundraiser ....if they sell 12 items each they get to go to Kalahari! It is much better incentive than we ever had as kids! LOL.

TODAY'S Update

So, as if the vet bills for Baloo weren't going to be enough, our cat Ethan SOMEhow broke his tail. I am talking dangling with the bone exposed. The vet said it needs amputated. Madison's has impetigo on her face (from her cold) so she has to go to the doctor tomorrow, Baloo goes to the vet on Wednesday and Ethan goes back to have his tail amputated on Thursday! Here is Ethan at this year's cat show.

And since we are showing him we have attached photos of Ms. Amelia and Toby too. Ethan and Amelia both placed 3rd again this year and Toby placed first in his class.

I want this quilt!

It is in a raffle for another Greyhound group! But if you want it too you can buy raffle tickets here http://freedomgreyhoundrescue.org/index.php?pr=Greyhound_Quilt_Raffle

Some pictures......

Oh look, it's Baloo and his "special" ear! Baloopy was beaten up a little by a foster dog a couple of weeks ago and when we took him to the vet they did and xray of his swollen leg and saw "bone changes" that looked like osteosarcoma. He is to have xrays repeated in 6 weeks (from then) but last night I found a tumor on his side so we will be going back sooner. Please say a prayer for my baby!
Our two new bunnies~This is Mocha and he is of course another chocolate Dutch bunny and he belongs to Katelyn and will be shown at the fair next year. And that lop eared by is Levi~he is a blue Holland Lop bunny and he belongs to Kayla and will aslo be shown at the fair next year.


This is Madison's first day of Kindergarten. She is loving school but already had to miss a day because she got sick. All those germs from school :o(

And here is Dyl showing us how big and tough he is. I would just like to add (knock on wood) that Dylan has been with us for a full two years(in May) since his diagnosis of kidney failure and is doing greyt!
