A Special Warning To All Quilters and Stitcher

 


Today is a long day and a day filled with prayer 

for my Sweet Beulah.

 

 

We go along our daily routines

without much thought of the

dangers that are right 

under our noses.

 


 

Or the sweet noses of those we love.

 


I was out in the barn sewing

on a quilt, while Beulah

was laying on the floor 

keeping me company.

When she began to choke.

She is always putting things in

her mouth.

I looked in her throat and 

couldn't see anything 

and she soon seemed alright

accept for an occasional

hack.

This is her new haircut,she got it because we were planning a camping trip this week and thought it would be cleaner and easier to check her for ticks from hiking.
 

I called the vet and they said

to watch her overnight.

 


 

So the next day because she still

hacked occasional I took her

in and they did x-rays.

 

She had swallowed a straight pin 

and they couldn't retrieve it 

without surgery, but didn't want

to do it.

They set her x-rays to WSU

a veterinarian college, but they

were booked out and couldn't

take her. So, I've been keeping her 

calm and waiting for a special

surgeon that comes to town 

every Tuesday to do difficult

surgeries. 


 

Now, I wait for the phone call

that tells me how it went. 

It's been a very long morning.

  5. Oh no! My dear Connie, please post an update and let us know how it went. I feel your pain. Just this morning I saw something sticking out of our tiny puppies mouth. She chews EVERYTHING. It was a sewing needle. I don't even know where she got it! Luckily she was chewing on the thread and I saw a glint of sunlight on the needle sticking out of her mouth!
    These puppies. We love them so much and I really believe they take more watching than a 2 year old. I really can't figure out where that needle came from. It's bothering me.
    I'lll be praying for your sweet Beulah. Let us know the outcome.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

  9. I worry about that with my cat. She is always looking at the littlest stuff on the floor. Imagine a pin rammed up their toe or foot.....I think about that all the time.

  23. Omg, I hope she is OK, my pets do the same. You never know, my dog had been feeling sick he was eating poison berries that fall from a type of palm. They are like small children praying for your pup child. Lisa@Sweet Tea N' Salty Air
