Christmas in July Notebook

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Life has been a bit challenging as of late. I'm sure you could tell with my lack of blog posts. Miss Bailee was back to having her poopy issues morning, noon & night. This has been an ongoing issue since she had Pancreatitis last August. We've had her to several different Vets to have her checked out. All her fecal tests have come back normal meaning no parasites or infections. They give her medicine and within a few days of stopping the meds we are back to having the poops. 2 weeks ago Shawn took her to Urgent care since our local Vets office has been booked out. They have a Vet out on medical leave and nothing was available. Again she received a bill of health, meds and sent on her way. A week later the poops come back. After a few in person stops at our local Vets office they squeezed us in to have her examined. She has not been sick and was eating good, drinking & staying hydrated. Yesterday was her appt. in which they took some blood to check her pancreas, thyroid and a CBC panel and changed up her food. It's possible she may have a chicken allergy. For now we are slowly transitioning her food from a lowfat gastrointestinal food which is poultry based to a rabbit & duck food of the same brand.  Last night she finally slept thru the night and had a good bowel movement this morning. We now just have to see what the blood work tells us. She will be 15 years old come the end of September and for the most part is the happiest dog ever! And on top of all of this my husband started a new job last week. It's been stressful worrying about Bailee but also worrying about Shawn and the changes with his new job and if you know me...I do not adapt to change very well.

So let's get to some fun crafty things!

I really love these spiral bound notebooks and decorating them!

Since we are in the Christmas in July season I thought I'd better share them before the end of the month. I made several earlier this year and always enjoy recovering them. These are one of my biggest sellers at the holidays and as long as I can continue to find the note books I will make them! Stay tuned as there are more to come!
