Just had to stop by


Yes, I've been missing for almost a month. Things are happening around here one after another. First my puppies some how got fleas. Now I've had dogs all my life and never had these critters so I'm not really sure how or where they picked them up. They are always on a leash and never leave the yard. Just mystified?
The ranch we have boarding our horses has gone through 3 mangers in the last 5 months and the horses have been suffering so I have been spending a lot of time out there and looking for another place for them. 
Now something even worse has happened Our horse Spirit pictured above has developed a disease that effects the central nervous system called EPM. The treatment for this will take up most if not all my free time. I have to travel 45 minutes twice daily to get the ranch and that same time back. While I'm there I need to walk Spirit for about an hour a day after feeding his medicine.
So my crafting time will be limited. The picture I posted is one from an oil painting I had done for my husband last Christmas. Since transferring my computer it seems I've lost some pictures so this is the best one I have right now.
Please keep Spirit in your prayers, we saved him from going to a meat market about 5 years ago. They say the disease is treatable if caught in time. I'm waiting for test results on how far it has gone.
Hugs,
Colleen

So sorry to hear the news about Spirit, I hope he improves and the results are good news. I know how hard it is when our pet family is sick. Sounds like you have a busy time ahead, we are always here for you and don't worry about crafting,more important things going on for you.Just try to keep us up to date with the news. Take care of yourself as well.
Hugs....Patti
ps, thanks for the wishes.

I just don't know what to say, girlfriend. Praying for Spirit and that you have the strength to keep up with this. I have so may friends having a rough summer, and nothing I can do to help any. I will just keep good thoughts going. Hang in there.
