I Could Think Of No Better Way To Share The News Than This!

Comparison with the old Dollzone body.

Oh, I just can't. I printed this boy in 1/4 size and I'm in love. I immediately came up with a name for him. I feel like returning to the hobby I left in 2019. I doubt people will be as interested in him as they are in unusual dolls like my turtles or mice. But I am very pleased with how he turned out. My real MSD doll that looks decent next to the company dolls.

Craftsman lovers, you must see this perfectly preserved 1922 home in Phoenix, AZ. 2bds, 2ba, 1,678 sq ft, $665k.

Craftsmans traditionally have creamy off-white walls, but I think it looks good in green. This is a very large living room.

The layout is different in this one. The typically brick fireplace flanked by enclosed shelving and windows isn't centered, so I'm wondering if the wall between the rooms was removed to open it up.

It now houses a piano and seating, but this is clearly the dining room. It has the traditional wainscoting and beautiful built-in China cabinet.

I love the Forest Green kitchen remodel. Great choice, and the understated counter color plus subway tile backsplash tie in nicely.

They also left the original door and window.

Very nice laundry area off the kitchen.

Original hallway with the built-in linen cabinet and doors leading to the bedrooms.

This would be the primary bedroom. Look at the original glass door knob on the closet.

They're using the 2nd bedroom as a home office.

Cute bath with the original vintage tub.

Awesome yard in the back with a bonus guest house on a 7,800 sq ft lot.

Check out the beautiful guest house.

Love the colors. It has wainscoting and sliding doors to the yard.

The kitchenette has a sink and a fridge, but there's plenty of room for a stove to turn it into a rental. Next to the blue cabinet, there's a washer/dryer behind the curtain.

It has an adorable little vintage tub.

Dining room.

And, bedroom.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Please remember that adverbs are not evil. The advice to avoid them is made in an effort to inspire improvement when showing action.

Please remember that is/was/are/to be/has been are not evil. Sometimes stating things as plainly as possible is the point.

Please remember that telling instead of showing is not evil. There are concepts best left told rather than shown.

And lastly, please remember, writing doesn’t have to be for anyone but yourself.

La creatura

Hello, those of you who follow me on Tumblr (l3irdl3rain) or Facebook (Chloe's Home for Disabled Cats) or know me in real life know about my passion for special needs animals, specifically cats. Almost all my pets are seniors or have special needs. While most of my vet work is covered through my job at the clinic I work for there are still medical costs that can add up.

Arthur is one of the many cats I've taken in over the years. He's the king of comfort, an expert at lounging, and a beloved uncle to foster kittens. I like to joke that he 'tricked' me into adopting him. He was from a hoarding situation and in such terrible shape that the shelter mistook him for a senior. I had my doubts when I went to meet him and saw how spry he was, but he did look really bad. I thought maybe he really was just an energetic old man. Upon taking him to my vet my suspicions were confirmed. We estimate Arthur at around 5 years old.

Due to being an exotic shorthair and having an extremely flat face Arthur does have some special care. I have to clean his face crevice daily as well as apply eye drops. He has also had an entropion repair to fix his eyelid as well as 3 separate rhinoplasty surgeries to allow him to breathe better. Doc also warned me he would need a soft palate resection. This will remove the extra tissue in his throat and allow him to breathe better.

A few months ago I called and got an estimate from a referral clinic. They quoted me anywhere from $5,500 to $7,000. At the same time I discovered a growth on my bird, Joey's head, and I elected to put Arthur's surgery on hold to get to the bottom of what was going on with Joey.

Unfortunately Arthur has started to have actual problems related to his soft palate. He is eating slower and gagging at times. He also has started hyper salivating and it is a struggle to keep his face dry and clean, leading to infections on his cheeks. Unfortunately I no longer can put his surgery off for a better time when it is more affordable for me. I called around and got more estimates. UW Madison quoted me $3,500 to $5,000 for the surgery.

As always, I appreciate anyone and everyone who has supported me and my critters. Any and all funds raised in their fundraiser will go directly into my pet care, even if we exceed the goal I set. Also, after his initial consult I should be able to get a more accurate estimate. For now I have set it to the high end of the surgery, but I will adjust as needed.
