My Dear Dylan

My Little Buddy Dylan

Today I had to bring my little buddy Dylan to the vet ER. He hadn't been able to keep anything in for 24 hours, so off we go. I was pretty sure on my way there that he would be spending the night there, he was very dehydrated. So I'm waiting for results, the not knowing was so hard, I mean I know it was not going to be good news but how bad it would be was making me go nuts. Finally they called and I froze, thank goodness for a crying 1 year old and a 3 year old yelling mommy mommy I want a snack, to lighten the mood. Well he's very sick, he's 10 years old btw, they told me he is diabetic and has had it for a long time and that is what made him sick, they are also almost certain he has cushings disease, so both are treatable but not curable. He will need to be monitered daily, then weekly and 2 times a day insulin shots for the rest of his life plus meds.
Good news is he is starting to feel a bit better but will need to be on and IV for a bit more, so he will be at the ER until at least monday morning.

Here is a pic of him a couple years ago with my daughter.

For my major unexpected Vet bills I will be having a sale at my shop where all the money will be going to Dylans bills. Just mention blog in checkout and you will be refunded 10%. Heres a link.

I love you little buddy!

Marketing talk

As the holidays approach I am trying to get my shop out there. I blog here obviously and will be doing it more often, I tweet, is that what you call it, twitter anyway just started that and getting many followers although most all from etsy but still I sell and buy on etsy so maybe others will see my shop that haven't before, myspace not a big thing for me, it started as a friend/business page and then I tried to change it to just business, not doing much there other than adding pics and sometimes posting bulletins, facebook-but I really keep that strictly friends, although I do post my pics there and lastly I use flickr for my pics. That may be it online, well I do post in the etsy forums from time to time. I do bring my business cards with me everywhere but I haven't had much luck putting them places yet except for the post office, I've had one up there for awhile. Oh and I sell on etsy, ebay and craigslist.

So I do a bunch, I know I can do more but yes I am very pregnant and chase a toddler around so I get very tired and sometimes I just want to rest. But I need to try to get more things going on so I can hope for some great sales this holiday season.

I think if I utilize each of them to there fullest that may work out better, so that is where I need to focus now. So for this blog expect more blogging.
