Belated Pepsi Update

Yes, I know I haven't done a Pepsi update in a wee while, but better late than never.
She was 6 months old on the 30th January, so off we went to the vet for her adolescent health-check. The vet can no longer detect a heart murmur, so we're really chuffed about that - but obviously as she's a cavalier it will be something that will be checked again as she gets older. For those who don't know, Mitral Valve Disease is a heart condition that is common in cavaliers. The vet also noticed a problem with her teeth - her baby canine teeth haven't fallen out, but the adult canines have pushed through anyway, so she'll need the baby ones pulled in case it causes problems like rotting teeth or they push the adult teeth the wrong way. We also discussed gettinf Pepsi spayed. I did consider letting her have a litter, but having loooked into it I don't think it would be a good idea. Although I've had experience with cats having kittens, there seems to be a lot more that can go wrong with dogs and because I don't have the experience or knowledge I think its probably best if we just get her spayed. Pepsi hasn't come into season yet, so she's booked in for the 9th Feb to get spayed and to have her baby teeth pulled. Think I'll ask them to see if her nails need clipped while they're at it.

Anyway, here's a couple of recent pics of Princess Pepsi of Porty lol...

 
That's the little menace investigating my desk and trying to see what all the fuss about farmville is

Passion for Promarkers #37 - All Creatures Great & Small

This week's challenge at Passion for Promarkers is an absolute cracker and it shouldn't be hard for everyone to join in. The fabulous Sarah has chosen "All Creatures Great & Small" as a theme and you can use any colours of promarkers to take part. I'm reliably informed that the theme includes all sorts of animals, fish, insects, birds and even mythical beasts like my cute as a button Baby Dragon.


This week you can win a pack of 5 promarkers kindly donated by

But you have to be in it, to win it!!


So here's my DT card for this week, I thought I'd make a new baby card just for a change. A friend of mine was due towards the end of January, and she's expecting a baby boy, so I thought I'd get the card made ahead of time just for a change.

Kraft cardstock and Bashful Blue Designer Series papers from Stampin' Up, ribbon, safety pin and buttons from stash
I used a MS punch for the scallop dot edges.

Here's the wee cutie's close-up...
 So, if you're not yet inspired (or even if you are) pop on over to PfP and have a look at the fab samples the DT have made for you - as always they are fabulous. We look forward to seeing all your entries
