So ya I’ve been away for awhile. I know you didn’t miss me, there are a ton of other blogs to read but I will give you the condensed version of what I have been up to…
Christmas was awesome, I got a brad nailer and a gift card to Home Depot so I also got a impact driver and a corner sander. I added some brackets to my floating shelves, and cleaned up my office. I cleaned a bajillion loads of laundry, travelled a bajillion miles back and forth to vet appointments, and watched a bajillion episodes of Homeland and Blacklist.
The main reason I was MIA was because of Seamus so a little update on him: Noticed him scooting on the carpeted so picked him up and noticed blood on his naught bits. Rushed him to the emergency vet. They couldn’t control the bleeding but recommended blood work and chest x-rays. Regular vet visit for blood on Monday, surgeon consult on Tuesday, second opinion on Wednesday before Xmas. Surgery on the 28th and took him home on the 29th. I had post-op appointment this Saturday and the bleeding has stopped, he is healing nicely and I go back on Tuesday to check the sutures and hopefully get the biopsy results, then next Saturday to have sutures removed. He is his happy go lucky self and seems to be pain free! Phew all caught up?
Thanks to all who kept him in your thoughts, it did wonders.
I ended up staying home on Christmas Eve due to Seamus being on meds and not being able to be around loud groups, but Christmas day was with the family. The nieces were adorable and so full of excitement, they just love getting all dressed up. I ended up rushing back home though since Seamus swelled up overnight so I wanted to be around in case I had to rush him in to the ER vet, luckily it went down by the next day.
New Years was very low key, and I had a glass of champagne and red moscato which was a Christmas gift to ring in the new year. The flowers in the picture were a gift from my Mom.
This was such a fun easy project though I split it up into multiple days because I was lazy. Haha! I love how it turned out, and will kick me in the pants to change out the photos every so often.
The cone life! I tried not to laugh when he bumped into every wall and the coffee table corners, I swear.
I slept on the couch because he wasn’t allowed to go up the stairs and I wanted to be there in case he was in pain, needless to say he was in my face very early.
He was so excited for his walk on Sunday he wouldn’t sit still for a picture. This was his hurry up Momma let’s go, face.
What have you been up to?
Did you party it up for New Years?
Linking up with Biana from B Loved Boston.
I hope Seamus gets better soon! No one wants to see their pet in pain 🙁

Thank you. He is recovering well. It broke my heart to hear him in pain. He is normally so happy go lucky.
Glad to hear Seamus is doing better and that you had a relaxing holiday. We missed you when we went out with Kate 🙁
Thank you. I missed you guys too. Seamus had surgery on Monday so it was to hard to make it out
I’m so happy to hear that Seamus is feeling better and what a great way to start 2016 -with him being healthy! Hope you have a great start to your week! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Thank you. It was a rough few weeks but I am glad he pulled through. He is a tough cookie.
Sorry to hear about Seamus! Glad he is on the mend. I love that project you conquered! Looks great!
Thank you, it was a roller coaster of emotions but he is doing great. Thanks, it wasn’t too hard either.
Poor little guy! I’m so glad he’s feeling back to his normal happy self!
It was so hard to see him struggling but he is back to normal.
hope everything goes well with the results and so glad that he’s feeling much better because he’s too cute to be sad/sick/upset.
When he was whimpering it broke my heart because that is so not him. I made them up his pain meds, but he is better.
Glad you enjoyed some time off and it’s good that Seamus is doing well now. I love your DIY project, so cute! Glad to have you back 🙂
Thank you, such a relief he is at least not in pain. It was a fun project. Glad to be back, finally!
He smiles even in his cone. What a good boy, I hope everything goes well with the results.
Thank you. Yes he was such a good sport and all smiles. Fingers crossed I know soon. Hoping by tomorrow.
You’re SUCH a good mama! Still thinking about your cute little patient and super impressed by your woodworking skills.
Thank you, it was hard leaving him today. I am learning as I go for sure, so I am glad it came out ok.
Fingers crossed for good results!
Thank you, it’s been a journey.
don’t be silly, of course we missed you 🙂
oh, poor Seamus. hoping for good results, thinking of the both of you!
Aww thanks! He is acting like his crazy silly self so I am hopeful!
SO happy to hear Seamus is feeling better and back to his old self – what a scary week, though. I love the photo project you did, too!
So many emotions made for a tough few weeks. Thank you. I love how it ended up coming out.
When we would have to ‘cone’ our dogs, I laughed WAY more then I should – poor babies.
I love Seamus has a great momma who stays home to take care of him during Christmas – you are my kinda people
They look so pathetic it is hard not to laugh, especially when he kept bumping into the comes too. Of course, I was so nervous about him I couldn’t focus on anything else.
Awww those dang cones. But I’m so glad the surgery went well. Hugs to Mr. Seamus!
They seem so sad but he was a trooper. Thank you, he really appreciate all the hugs.
Aw i’m sorry to hear about Seamus. Sounds like you needed the break to take care of him. What was causing the bleeding? Hope he’s much better by now.
I was so glad I had the time off so I could take him to all the appointments. He had a tumor on the skin surrounding his naughty bits. He is healing nicely and the sutures come out on Saturday.
Moscato is my favorite! A red one sounds interesting!!
MY PICTURE ISN’T ON YOUR F’ING BOARD. Rude. ;P
Moscato is so good. I am not a red wine girl but I love that one. Haha!! One day little one you will make the board. Bwahahaha!
Good luck tomorrow! Fingers crossed for you both. Happy New Year!
Thank you. I am trying to stay hopeful!
Awww Seamus!! I hope you get answers soon! It’s the worst waiting around for results. The hubs and I had a pretty low-key NYE since we got the stomach flu the day after Christmas and THEN my sickness morphed into some crazy super cold! Yeesh! Time to start the new year healthy for humans and for our furbabies!!!
Thank you. It wasn’t the answers I wanted but he is getting better. Sorry you were sick that is not fun!
You are such a good doggie mama. I’m sending all my good vibes to Seamus in hopes that his tests and biopsy results are all good. Happy return to blogging!
Thank you. He needs all the good vibes.
glad you’re back–you were missed!! i’m glad seamus is recooping nicely. such a cutie. hugs and prayers for good news in the new year.
Thank you. We really appreciate all the prayers and hugs! 🙂
Oh I’m so sorry to hear about Seamus. I hope he is feeling better soon. Happy New Year!
Thank you. He is getting better each day!
Oh poor Seamus! I’m so glad he’s doing better and definitely crossing my fingers for good results with the new year. Glad to have yo back, you were missed!!
Thank you, he is much better. It is a wait to see though on if it comes back.
Glad Seamus is well! What a scare
