Update!

The owner came and picked up Max last monday and took him to the vet. He called us later that day about the test, found out he has tumor in his stomach, not one but more. So sad to hear it but it cannot be help. The next day(tuesday) we went to visit him, he is outside again so we decided to take him with us. We don't know for how long he lives but atleast he is here inside and sorrounded with company. We'll see how long we can keep him. He sure happy when he saw us especially when we called him to come with us, so eager to climb in the car even if he was very weak, had to help him up. We are very attach to this dog and it is so difficult thinking he doesn't live that long anymore. We had given him some soft foods and he does takes it, so i am cooking extra during our meals for him too and as off yesterday he is eating quite some and seems improving.
I was out all day with a friend yesterday when i came home in the evening he's been following me and lie down next to me. (you can click on all pictures to enlarge if you want). Took these pictures this morning. He does looks fit and didn't take a pause during the walk as he ussually does previously.

Sent a couple of pictures to one of the magazine in the U.K end of last year and one got featured. It was the Russian Doll which was finished into a pinkeep. I didn't renew my subscription early this year so when i received an email that it will be featured i'd asked Karen to help me out for the magazine. Thanks so much Karen for sending the magazine. Hope you got my emails. It seems a few aren't receiving my mails lately, anyone who is waiting for an email from me please check in your spam mails.

Received a wonderful surprise from Edit earlier. Thank you so much, Edit! I Love them all especially the stitched items as i haven't made any Spring stitching this time.
A close-up picture of the Spring pieces!
Took a few pictures during one of my walks with a friend last week. Lots of lambs are out these days especially these last couple of days as it has been sunny and warming up a bit.
We came across the girls too, Grace and her friends, in-line skating!

Ah..the said sorting i had mentioned a couple of weeks ago, nothing was started yet. Pretty busy socially and also we are in the process of negotiations with a few different contractors for the renovation. Hopefully, we will know more and be able to decide who will do the job before hubby goes back to sea the end of this month.
My back is getting better only have a very bad colds again, stuffy nose and headaches. I do hope it will be over soon.
Before i end, I did have a new start, a Prairie Schooler-Summer Breeze.
Also completed a few scissor fobs but they are on the way to the new owners, will show pictures when they are received.

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all who come and visit my blog. All your comment are very special to me.

Oh Mylene, how sad to hear about Max. I am so sorry. Congrats on the magazine publication. That is so wonderful and what a great gift you got. You are doing great on your PS new start. Hope you feel better soon. Oh, I love the sheep pictures.

Carol said...

I'm so sorry to hear about Max, Mylene. When you mentioned his symptoms I worried that it might be a tumor because my dear cat had one and showed the same symptoms. We did have his tumor removed, but they couldn't get it all and he died a year and a half later. I know how hard this will be for all of you... Sending you a big hug ((()))

Charlene ♥ NC said...

Love the scenery landscape pic also. Haven't seen a scenery like that in a while, so that was welcoming for me,and of course, I wish I could join you on the PS (smile).
Lastly. Please stop by my blog and accept The Sunshine Blog Award.
