Chloe is coming home!

Chloe is coming home today! I'm so relieved. It was really touch and go there for awhile, but she's eating and drinking, and is, as of today, off the IV!
I have everything ready and waiting, her bed and toys and everything, and am just really happy she's okay. I'll post another picture of her once she's healthy and doing well, and we have her fattened up a bit. Poor thing is so skinny right now. I bought her the cutest little pink raincoat, and some pink booties, and can't wait to take pictures of her in that outfit! Once she's feeling better, of course. I don't want to stress her out by dressing her while she's still sick;)

About Chloe

It’s been such a stressful week! First my wrists; I had to stop writing for a couple of days, but worse than that, I bought a gorgeous goldendoodle-more golden than poodle- from a breeder and fell in love with her, not realizing that she had parvo. She was very quiet, very sad looking, but the breeder said she was just ‘laid back’. She was throwing up a little in the car ride home, but I just thought it was because of the change from the breeder to here, car sickness, etc. But that night, I knew something worse than that was wrong.

Parvo works fast. I took her to the vet the next morning, and he said that she would have been dead by the next day if I hadn’t brought her in.

She’s there now; I visited her today and took her a little stuffed Winnie the Pooh bear, but she looks so pitiful. Everytime I’d pet her or talk to her, she’d whine, just a little bit. She can’t hold her head up or anything, she’s just lying there with an IV. Poor little thing. She has to make it.

The breeder gave me my money back for her and said that if Chloe doesn’t make it, they’ll give me a new dog. But I don’t want to think about that. Besides, wouldn’t the other dogs have parvo as well? Even if some of the dogs are separated, can’t you carry parvo to them on your shoes and clothes and such?

I just want Chloe to be okay. She’s the sweetest dog; exactly the dog I’ve wanted for a long time. I hate the thought of her being at the clinic without anyone who really cares for her, without anyone taking time to pet her or talk to her. I wish I could bring her home and take care of her.

Link to TT

I posted TT number 6 here.

I'll try to update to this blog tomorrow...I've been busy writing and sometimes the blogs get neglected!

Submissions and Myspace

I can't believe it's been a week since I posted to this blog! I guess that's what happens when you get really busy and have way too many blogs to maintain anyway!

I didn't do a TT this week, so I figured I'd make up for that by just posting to my blogs.

The short novel is done; better than that, the synopsis is done! I sent the synopsis and blurb and m/s off to Samhain yesterday. I have five books submitted now, and I'm waiting to hear something back on all of them.

Meantime I'm going to start writing a loose synopsis for the urban fantasy I'm writing now, so I'll be a bit ahead of the game. In case I haven't mentioned it enough yet, I hate writing the synopsis!

I've met some really nice people on myspace; one of them asked me where she could buy my books, and when I told her that they weren't out yet, she asked if she could have one of my banners to put on her page. Hi, Christy!
