UPDATE NOV 16

Just a few Lines to let you know what is going on with my Christmas Kit. I have got the kit ready all but the Preview..  The kit will be Full of Elements, Papers and Frames as always, However due to something going on with Dog Teddy who is 12 years Old I will not be able to
do a full preview. I will put some samples of things that show of the colors and some of what to expect to find in it.. But it will not be a full blown Preview.  So Hopefully within in the next couple of days I will have it on my blog But that all depends on how things go. Today I have to watch my Dog closely.

My dog has been sick for a about 3 weeks. Actually with 2 different things.. But we got a little bad news yesterday..What we thought was and Abscess was not.  I could tell the Vet was very shocked by what she found and flat said she had never heard of or come across a Hematoma like he had. That it is more or less 50/50 as to whether the hematoma will clear up on it's on or not with the medication she sent home.  Another thing she had never seen blood drawn over an hour ago that still Looked as if she had just been drawn it. In other words his blood is not clotting period and the medication is to help it do that so they hematoma can hopefully heal. The other thing was it actually had a pulse and hematoma's should not have a pulse in them.
The procedure is very expensive from what the Vet said. The MRI alone which would have to be done to determine what exactly needs to be done. is $1500.00 I just do not have that kind of money if she is correct. Teddy has cost me $340. In just 3 weeks time already. She said that his breed only has a life expectancy of 15 years. That at 13 she would not recommend any client to go into that kind of debt. If would be different if he was a young Dog. But his life expectancy is only 15 years. I am going to call around and see I can just get a Vet to talk to me with out wanting to charge me To answer one question is that costly to get it repaired. If it is up in to the $1,000 of dollars I just do not have that kind of money..
 As of now it is not causing him distress. But it is effecting his throat as well as pushing his gums in to where he is biting on his gums. So soft food diet for now.  And his eye is slightly bulged Out. on Top of this the eye near all this has glaucoma.. And if he heals from the hematoma it would need treatment.

 They want to wait at least a Month cause she says it could take that long to heal if it will heal on its own. But I have to Let it sink in that if the medication does not work. And he show any signs of distress. The decision may have to be made to put him down.   The fact that just 3 years ago my Oldest Dog Passed Away on Dec 10, 2013. So knowing that is not helping matters.

Anyway I apologize that there is a delay in putting my Christmas Kit up. But right now I just have to watch my dog.. Mainly to make sure his mouth does not start bleeding where he put the syringe in and pulled the blood out. Nor I am in the mood to work on or do much of anything.. My heart just is not in it today.
