My dog Rowdy is still sick, diamond quilt and other stuff

This is lazy Mayzie in her bed. She is so cute. She and KieChi lay in this bed together. So sweet. Our Rowdy isn't doing well. He can still eat ice cream and he loves that. Jeff is going to take him back to the vet today to see if we can remove the large growth in his mouth. He will still have the cancer in the pallett, but at least maybe he can eat and breathe a little easier. Sometimes he seems just like his old self. When we come home he runs and howls and carries toys in his mouth. Yesterday when Sebo came by he made a mad dash for the front yard (like always), you wouldn't even know he was sick. So keep your fingers crossed. Maybe we can get that removed and give him some more time. Chemo is $600 a pop, so I don't think we can afford that, but Jeff doesn't want to "give up" on him yet.

We went and saw "Talladega Nights" last night. Funny, in that Will Farrell stupid way. A nice break from a sad weekend.

So this is how far I have gotten on Peggy's quilt. I also have a 4th diamond almost complete. Then just 2 more to complete the middle hexagon. I am not sure if I will do the 6 for the outside with designs like this, or all solid fabric, or just one simple pattern. I really don't want to distract from the middle. So we shall see. Really it sews together pretty easy, much like making doll clothes when you were 10. I don't know that after this I will do it again, but it has been fun for now.

Oh, btw, Sebo had his party yesterday and loved his quilt and pillow case. He asked me if one of the spiders on the fabric was a "red devil" and I told him "yes". Who knows! He slept with it last night. We also didn't get him a snake, but a turtle. He named him "SlowFast". When you laugh, he will tell you that everyone laughs, but he loves his turtle. For Christmas I am getting him a bearded dragon!

I will post pictures of him and his quilt as soon as his mom e-mails them to me. The other boys, Gareth (almost 8) and Bradley (almost 6) can't wait for their quilts too (Gators and Aliens). Papa couldn't get over how happy they all were and excited about that quilt!

I didn't read anyone's blogs this weekend but I will catch up this week.

Peace KB

(Oh, Vicki made me a really pretty wall hanging, to help me feel better, I will take a pix and show you later).
