ROLLER COASTER

Toby has had a really eventful week, as have we.

His blood tests have come back normal - thank goodness - but he has to have a food supplement which has to be 'pumped' into his mouth twice a day ---yeh!!!

Not only does he hate me because I put squashed-up pills on his dinner-time food and force a great big pill down his throat at tea -time, but now I pump some awful ghoo into his mouth x2 a day. No wonder we don't cuddle anymore.

Despite all this, he has bucked up. We just hope this continues.

Thank you to all my lovely friends for their support this week. Thank you. xx

A COUPLE MORE

Just two more for this weeks Fancy a Challenge.

The lady is called - 'That should be Round' - and is a stamped image with a decoupaged face and a few red gems. I used part of the image to make the hinge which I went over with gunmetal stickles. The embellishment is a brad and the whole thing is simply finished with a few blobs of crystal stickles and a black ink pad run around the edge.

The other is called - 'Portcullis' - made with some wood-looking paper. The hinges are from a sheet of rub-ons over which are lengths of chain fastened with brads. Again I used a picture from one of the many tourist information leaflets I have and the key is a brad coloured black with alcohol inks.

LEST WE FORGET

LEONIE'S 'FANCY A CHALLENGE'

Welcome back Leonie. I've really missed the Fab Friday challenges so am thrilled to bits they have started again albeit in a different form.

Struggled a bit this time as its a while since I made any ATCs but I have a few in mind for this challenge and this is the first. Being the 11th of November, I made this ATC with our heros in mind. I used distress ink pads in shades of green for the background. The soldier photo is from one of the many tourist guide leaflets I collect on my travels, simple matting layering then mounted on the card with 3D foam. I printed the Lee Enfield rifle from the internet which I have used as the hinge and, even though the little flower isn't a poppy, it serves it's purpose, finished with a little black gem.

Let the ATC fun begin again!

TODAYS TRIP TO THE VET

Today's trip came with some disturbing news. Toby has lost 0.5kg in the past 3 weeks. Our vet said this was a lot.

His heart is still strong but she was now concerned that either his thyroid or his kidneys have gotten worse.

She advised he had a blood test to determine just what is going on and whether she can give him something more or whether he is now in decline through his kidney condition getting worse.

Quite a shock, even though we know he is an old lad and doing ever so well. We will get to know what will happen in a couple of days.

In the meantime, I took a couple of photos of him at the vets. Still a handsome kitten.

SPOOKY

In between the rain, 3 very 'SPOOKY' beings walked the streets of a lovely quiet neighbourhood in Yorkshire.

Did they frighten anyone?

Well!! they certainly frightened me.
