Gray Skies, Morning Coffee, and The Saturday Evening Post

       Wow, this has been some kind of three-day weekend out here in the woods... first off, our little dog, Chili-Bean had a horrible epileptic seizure (yes, she is on medicine and takes 2 cc of phenyl-barbitol twice a day) and bit her tongue so badly that she was not eating or drinking. She also was not moving very well yesterday: actually, she never even got off the little blankie that I had made for her, and truth be told, I was pretty sure that we were going to have to make the decision to help her cross the Rainbow Bridge because we didn't want our pretty little girl to suffer, or to live out her days in a crate... She did not pee nor poo, the whole day long, and we were afraid she'd dehydrate or that her little kidneys would shut down.

       We held her last night, and we held her close, and we managed to get her to take some water and eat some soft food with a syringe. She was a very thirsty little girl and had a cup of water that way! Since we didn't want her to risk choking, we slowly fed some of our sugar glider food. Now, I know this may sound crazy, but Chili Bean actually loves eating BML (Bourbon's Modified Leadbeaters); so, for her, this was a nourishing treat. We took our time, talked to her, and we even played some Mozart and gave her a massage (to stimulate blood flow throughout her little body). Chili ate a full cup of BML, too!

       Finally, We tucked her in for the night, and, honestly, when I woke up this morning (she slept near me in her little crate), I didn't expect her to be so bright-eyed and bushy tailed, but she was! She was alive and she had "done her business." Any other time, I would have been upset with her for soiling her kennel, but not today! I was just thankful to God that she was still alive. I put her outside so that she could sun herself (one of her favorite past-times) and play in the leaves... so far, although she does have limited mobility, she IS doing much better and seems more like her old self again. Updates to come... but here is Chili doing what she loves best... lazing about - and dealing with our Tommy Lee (the little rascal).

       Yesterday, I sewed all day long, and Chili was beside me the whole time... just hanging out and keeping an eye on things. I managed to complete several additional pouches for Suggie Rescue Resources... without further delay, here they are.

       First, Morning Coffee (I just love this color!): Includes a set of cage pouches with blankies...

















       Second: The Saturday Evening Post: I love the muted earth tones for autumn!











       Third: Gray Skies includes several cage pouches, a zippered travel/bonding bag, a cuddle cup, and a sleepy sock...






       All sets are double-layered with seamless interiors for glider safety made of high quality fleece. Of course, blankies, hanging hardware, and straps will be included.
