It's been a busy week. I've worked a few days, gardened, mowed the lawns, done a ton of washing etc etc. And I've been to puppy preschool - now how cute is that! Oh except my puppy has had a funny tummy, which isn't so funny when she wakes you up six times a night to go outside because of her funny tummy. But hey, at least she wakes me up so there's no mess to clean up. But just like kids, you want to make it all better for her but unfortunately there's not a whole heap you can do. Chicken and rice is all she's eating for a few days - with a bit of natural yoghurt and cornflour mixed in (sounds delish doesn't it lol). Why the cornflour? Well it thickens up casseroles etc and has the same effect on the digestive system - throw a bit in a milkshake if you find your kids in the same prediciment - it does help. And of course the yoghurt is to reintroduce the good bacteria.

So not only was Darcy at the vet, but so was Tui - we think she's been in a fight - the vet thinks she has itched and itched a spot. My cat doesn't itch. Never has. She's now on antibiotics and no she hasn't scratched the spot and it's healing up nicely. Not sure how long the patch will take to grow hair on it again though. The last one took a while - didn't it Heidi lol!?!

Don't you love the photo of Danny on Tui's cat tower? I was in my scrap room. Donna was having a shower and Lyall hadn't yet arrived home from work. I could hear Danny having a little cry but wasn't too worried as he often does this when Donna has disappeared, but it kept going so I thought I'd best check it out. And there he was up the tower. Found his way up, but couldn't get down lol. So made him wait while I took a photo.


It's a stunner of a day here and there's a big plant sale on down the road tomorrow as a fundraiser for a local church - so guess what we'll be doing this weekend.

Thanks to Nicki for suggesting the page inserts from Bazill for Project Life - I'm in the midst of organising this. They have both portrait and lanscape slots on each page, which I quite like for a bit of variety. Two months into it and I'm still enjoying Project Life lol.

Enjoy your weekend.

Awww! Look at all those puppies! How cute. Poor Tui, at least its not an abscess...icky things! Like runny tummies!
Wheres the photo of Danny? Am I missing something?

Vicki said...

Poor Tui is doomed to never have a full coat of fur for long and hope Darcy feeling better now too. They are a bit of a worry. Now where did you get the Bazzill inserts for your PL?

Tracy said...

Ohhh how sweet are all those puppies! Almost makes me want to turn my cat house into a dog house.... almost!

Nicki said...

Gorgeous photos and this Nicki would like to see your PL!!
I'm interested in where you are getting your inserts from too and how much you paid (nosey aye!) Mine worked out to be about $2.40 or something a bit steep but I wanted/needed them!

Awwwwww ... cute puppies ... I want one. Ick at puppies with upset tummies ... maybe I don't want one. I'm sure the cuteness wins out though.

Poor Tui - hope she gets better soon. I also can't see the photo of Danny up the cat tower?

OMG - I'm still in shock from the first blog pic! took me ages to work it out! poor Tui. Sounds like you're all in the wars - hope it all gets better soon. How is everything else over your way. Thinking a catch up is on the cards. Although we might see each other next weekend!LOL I wanna see your PL too!

oh poor Tui that was nasty. Glad to see she is on the road to recovery. Awww at puppy pre school how cute. That was really interesting about the cornflour. I just read the posts below. I have yet to taste the yellow chocolate or get some for Mike. Awww so cute to see smooch on your blog, she looks so cute. You took some great photos while you were away. That was amazing about the train and ferry being so busy.
