Good Times and Bad Times

Hello there everyone!

I really do apologise for not blogging in a month! But I have been rather busy with GCSEs and, as the title suggests, there's been some not so good stuff happening recently.

The bad things first I think, I like to end on a high note.
Firstly, exams: yuck, no one likes them. To anyone who still has exams going on, good luck! You have nothing to worry about though, you'll do great! c:

Secondly, sadly, my puppy died a little over a week ago. He was only 5 and a half months old.
He'd been coughing and everyone thought it was kennel cough so the vet prescribed medication and he seemed to ge better for a while but then got worse again. When it still wasn't clearing up after 3 weeks (it can take up to 6 weeks to clear up completely but Ghost wasn't improving at all really) the vet decided to keep him in to do blood tests and X-ray his lungs. They still didn't know what was wrong. Then they decided to X-ray his stomach and also did a barium meal test and ultrasounds and things. They then saw that he had a growth pushing his stomach up out of place and without going into the whole explanation, this was causing the cough. The only thing that the vet could do was operate. So two Fridays ago (the 15th), she operated. When she opened him up she found that he had tumors all through his intestines and around his stomach. It was cancer and there wasn't anything that anyone could have done. So we all knew the kindest thing was to just put him to sleep. At least he was never in pain and he never suffered.



I don't want to dwell on sadness so on to happier things I think.
My last exam was yesterday! Yay! I'm so glad that they're done! I can officially relax and enjoy summer now. If it ever stops raining!

Also, I might be starting a little online store this Autumn/Winter, selling dreamcatchers, maybe some jewellery/accessories and things which I will make. I'm going to be busy making things all summer for a charity event that my mum is going to host to raise money for cancer reasearch/aid/support so I'll see how well that goes first.

Oh and we've decided to go and see some puppies next week so we might have another puppy about mid to late July which I'm excited about because I'd like to be able to give another dog a good home and a happy life like Ghost had, even though he was only with us for 4 months.


So would any of you guys be interested in buying handmade dreamcatchers/jewellery? And do you have any suggestions for other things that I could make?

Love,

The Little Ghost
