The other day I was washing my dog and found what the vet is calling a tumor. I took him to the vet the same day. The vet decided to sedate him and do a biopsy. I am having to wait another day for the pathology report to come back from the biopsy and the wait is absolutely agonizing.
I am doing my best to focus on the things that are in my control. Mr. J is more than just a pet, he is my best friend. Even though he is not a service animal, he helps me so very much.
He is one tough old bub.
Thank You for your understanding as I’m take time off to focus on him and his recovery.
Please take care of yourself and your furry friends too.
I hot glued teeth and also figured out a way to add a pull to open and close the mouth..I applied Oil Clay to try and seal the packing peanuts.
I have been struggling very hard recently. I am dealing with lots of grief at the moment. I have been finding ways to cope with the loss and not let it consume me.
I discovered that the starch nuts will continue to absorb moisture and continue to shrink if not sealed. I am trying using a thin layer of oil clay on them. Sadly, I ran out of it before I could finish the whole thing. But I hoping this will seal it off and allow me to finish the surface off with a mixture of dry wall mud, PVA, and shredded paper. Jess said she wants to help me sculpt out the beak when I do. 🙂
Yesterday, I also finished this rescued wooden plant table. It needed some TLC with water damage to its veneer, a broken top and a bad wobble. I spent a lot of time clamping and gluing to bring it back to life. I am super happy to give it another life as it will let our pothos plant grow and over hang in the window.
I also worked on my diorama case some, smoothing out the edges of the fabric squares I had applied to outside of the case.
