Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible ...

We've had a bit of a setback with Bess (our recently rescued Staffie). Unfortunately when we got back from Harrogate at the weekend, her allergy had really flared up again. Poor Mum and Dad didn't know how to settle her and they're used to dogs. 

We're having to sit with her almost 24*7 at the moment to keep her from scratching herself to ribbons and biting bald spots on her paws and legs. The vet has taken skin scrapings today to test for allergies and he's given us a spray which we're hoping will soothe her and calm her down. 

Needless to say - I'm not able to get any crafting done just at the moment. I'll be back blogging and sharing just as soon as Bess improves but in the meantime I hope that you have happy holidays and that the sun shines for you.

Awwww Sara ... poor Bess! I can imagine how stressful it is for you all. My Lily is having a heck of an itchy scratchy time of it too at the moment. She's got one completely bald foot and is doing her best to get the other one looking the same! It's a nightmare trying to keep her from chewing them!

I hope Bess gets sorted very soon.

Much Love
