Cooking and update on Sheba

Sheba did ok through the night and is gaining strength. She is happily resting with paws crossed after mommy let her lick out the biscuit pan.

Please keep praying for her. Her appetite is better and more interested in what's going on. Please pray that there will be no more bleeding. That God would just heal her and when they do the ultrasound the tumor would be gone. Or if God chooses to use the surgeons at the big animal hosp in Indy to successfully remove the tumor and that it won't have metastasized. We love her sooooo much.

Jim was hungry for homemade biscuits and gravy so I found a recipe by Betty Crocker. We used chicken sausage instead of regular sausage.





The gravy was the perfect consistency. I don't know how to link to the recipe with my phone app for blogger but go to www.recipe.com and type in the search ...biscuits and gravy... it will be on the first screen just scroll down..

Sheba thanks you for the prayers.

Prayers needed urgently

Our baby...which is a 14 yrs old German shepherd is quite ill. She collapsed last night and we were worried we might lose her. We took her to the emergency vet she did X-rays and found that Sheba has a tumor on her spleen. It has little nodules that rupture and cause her to lose a lot of blood which makes her weak and collapse. We are taking her to Indianapolis Mon. for an ultrasound and then a biopsy and surgery to take it out if it hasn't spread. Please pray for her. She is my medical dog and we want her to feel better. We love her so much. We got Sheba shortly after we got married. Being dog parents is so hard right now. I wish i could just fix her . I can't even image how painful it would be to have a child sick. It just breaks our hearts that she is going through this.

Please pray she would make it through the weekend without another episode of internal bleeding.

Also that the tumor would be benign an only involve the spleen.

For safety through the surgery.

And please pray for us to hold each other up. For strength and peace and wisdom to make the right choices. Thank you so very much. I will keep you updated.



Here she is on her bed with favorite pillow.

And here she is at my sister Pam's house when we visited in Michigan.

Sheba has saved my life a few times. She is a special dog. She can tell if my sugars are off and neurological things to. Please take a minute or two out of your day to pray for her. I have gotten to know a lot of you and your friendship means a lot to me. I'm grateful for you.

Blessings

Today is going well. Right now I'm reading a new book by a favorite author of mine Wanda Brunstetter called A Cousin's Challenge. It's book three of the Indiana Cousins series. I've read both of the previous books and they were great too.

Book 2 was A Cousin's Prayer


Here is some more projects up around the house that I've done that I thought you all might want to see


This was a cute embellished project using blending filament. That was tricky. I recommend Thread Heaven.

A fun bear by Marie Barber . It also came in a kit. I also have partly done of that series Bear & Bunny which is below and Bear & Sandcastle which I haven't started yet and is also in a kit. I recently checked a book out of our local library www.greensburglibrary.org by Marie Barber called Cross Stitch the Special Moments of Your Life. Inside it had the whole series of bears. I didn't know there were more so I have taken pics of the cover and the series. Maybe some of you may want to stitch these cute little bears yourselves. You can buy the book. I recommend using www.halfpricebooks.com You can get most anything used for hardly any money. Or buy it new or check it out at your local library. I've always been a big advocate for libraries as I worked as a full time volunteer for a very long time.





And finally what would this blog be without a really cute picture of my German Shepherd, Sheba napping on her sisters old pillow bed.



Blessed Stitching,
Sarah Beth
