  6. Aww so sorry to hear about your pup ! My baby has been really ill too, I posted about her in my STS this week, it's devestating when they aren't well and the vet bills are horrendous. Still they are sooo worth it! I'll be checking in to see how little Miley Rose is doing! Prayers and Hugs from Ireland xxx

  11. Nice haul.

  12. I'm so, so sorry to hear about your puppy. I can only imagine what you must be going through, I have a furbaby myself and he is absolutely the WORLD to me. I hope everything continues to go well with Miley Rose and she continues to get better. I'll be thinking about you and your family <3 The cost of vet bills are absolutely outrageous, I think it's so sad that loving animal owners are put in such financial strain just to help another member of their family .

    Your book haul is wonderful. A signed copy of Cinder... <3 Amazing. I read Raven this week and I cried... and cried... lol. I hope you enjoy all your books.

  13. Awww, I hope your puppy is doing okay. One of my dogs had to go to the animal hospital because she ate an aleve. It was awful, and so so stressful. But she's good now.

    As for your books - yay for Cinder! It's a favorite.

  20. Oh, Margie, I'm so sorry to hear about Miley Rose being sick. If I had the extra money to spare right now, it would be coming your way. I'll check back for updates on her.

    As far as book-related stuff goes, Where She Went was great! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
