Hustle had his surgery today. It was a long day. He was dropped off at 9am but the surgery didn’t happen until 5:30. It was gross. He is super out of it, but is resting. Apparently, I am can’t bring home scraps from work either because he is super overweight. Ugh. We are all going on a program to get into shape and eat better – only fruits and veggies for them now.
But first some photos of Hustle and his Tumor.
ps. I just want to say thank you heaps to all that donated. I honestly wasn’t expecting a lot of donations, I just wanted people to go shopping in my etsy store. My heart is so full and grateful for the help. I have been working my arse off, but winter is slow in the service industry and it has just been a rough couple months, but spring is coming and things are looking up.
so thank you. so. very. much.
oh and I was getting kind of stressed waiting because it was taking so long and this little rabbit named Turtle came and jumped in my lap and started licking my hands.
I started to calm down. I freaking love animals so much…
so on another note. I am on a program starting today to get into shape. UGH! I am so out of shape that is could be comical. So the goal is 70 oz of water a day.
Eating mostly raw and some cooked and very budget friendly. No gluten, No booze – except on sunday. I get pizza, wine and chocolate (my cheat day!)
I am starting to exercise with some of these ladies and don’t kid yourself. I did 10 min tonight and quit, but I will keep pushing myself each day and I will walk the dogs each day for my cardio.
Life is so fleeting. Death is not something I deal with well… at all. This morning I found out a family member crossed and then this afternoon my little rattie wasn’t moving very well. I noticed a couple days ago, he seemed off and kept an eye on him. His brother has seemed very protective of him the last few days. I went in today to feed them some treats and he seemed lethargic. I noticed when he moved his belly was large and he couldn’t maneuver well – I was scared he was filled with fluid which could kill him – so of course, this took me into a panic back to the time of Ansli and Sally and I thought he was dying. I know to breathe and calm down and not assume every animal is dying sometimes, but he seemed very off.
I called the vet and of course she couldn’t tell me anything without seeing him.
Long story short. This tumor is common in rats. They pop up very quickly and he will need surgery otherwise it will keep growing quickly and that will alter his way of life which isn’t living. He will be miserable and uncomfortable unable to move and I can’t put him through that when there is a chance to let him be normal for a while longer. It could come back, there is always that chance, but I have to believe it won’t. Â Funds are tight this month, ugh. so embarrassing to say that. We all want to be rich and have mounds of money to take care of ourselves and our animals, but I guess sometimes we have to ask for help. So please visit my shops over the next few days and buy something pretty or awesome to put on your wall and share with friends and enemies.
So I will be doing a massive shop update in my le howl etsy shop. I have LOTS of necklaces and pouches to upload. I will also be doing a buy one get one free print in my photography shop.Â

twilight.
moonlight.
stars fill like whiskey flows.
Let it be like it used to be residing in the in-between.
red in night, black in dreams.
we are nothing if not stories untold
Howling in trees, waiting for fog to drift and take me away.
sunlight burns like the town this story holds.
drifting.
away.
Today it was so lovely. My dogs were out just soaking up the sun, while I was inside working. I heard some news today from my dad. So I am in double time sewing, cutting, sawing trying to fill the shop for people to buy. I know my friends don’t understand why they haven’t seen me. Well, c’mon on over friends and bring some wine and get ready to be put to work! If only my dogs had thumbs. ;D
So there is a 10% off sale in Le shop this weekend for pre- valentines. I have never been much of a valentine’s person… maybe one day, but I know I have lots of things with heart 😉
I am starting the master cleanse somewhat this week. Wish me luck. I might need it and the people around me. I know that sometimes we have to let go of things to find enlightenment . I’m going into the cave.
I hope you will stop by my shop and share it with all your friends. I will be adding more stuff all the time. I am on a roll! so stay tuned here and on my instagram and shop for updates!
