Sizzling Scents of August

Recommended Posts

I'm sad to say that Isis passed away this morning. She was doing so well, but had another attack of the panting and lethargy at about 6am so we went back to the vet and it didn't improve this time. They'd also received the test results back showing she had large cell lymphoma that was likely in her brain and the root of the attacks. The chemo treatments would be aggressive and likely only prolong things for a few weeks, and I just couldn't do that to her when she was so obviously in distress as it was.

 

She's been my little buddy for 15 years and it's going to be really strange not to have her around, no matter how often she made me nuts with her antics :(

Rivercat, I'm so sorry about Isis. :(

 

My sister had wonderful birthday. Thank you for the birthday wishes for her. The day of her birthday she had her head shaved. She is a nurse and she did it as a tribute to her cancer patients and also to mark a new beginning in her life. She is really remarkable and has come so far since she moved here last October.♥ I'm getting ready to go to San Diego with her and my cousin for a girls weekend and also to see my nephew who is recovering from hernia surgery. I'm melting a family favorite, Black Raspberry Vanilla from Scentsy. I also packed a plug in with Cerise from Scentsy. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! ★

Rivercat - I'm so sorry sweet Isis has passed away. I know how much your heart is hurting. You're in my prayers for comfort. [smilie=_smileyfacehugging_]

Thank you for all the prayers and good wishes. The hardest thing is coming home to a pet-less house at night. We've had dogs and cats and other assorted critters in the family my entire life :(

 

Mpfand, what an awesome thing for your sister to do! Have a wonderful time in SD.

Hi ladies. Rivercat I'm sorry to hear about your fur baby. [smilie=_smileyfacehugging_]

 

I'm not melting or burning anything yet, moving very slow. I had surgery on Tuesday and went home on Wednesday afternoon. I had my appendicitis removed also, doc said they didn't look very good. Thanks you all for all the prayers, I great appreciate it. I won't be able to work for 4-6 weeks. See you later.

Rivercat - I know what U mean...our pets definitely have a spirit and it's noticeable when they're not here with us. [smilie=th_empathy] You'll know when the time is right to bring another furry ball of love into your home.

 

Bioleagles - I'm waiting until later for a B&BW's candle too - we can DO this! There'll always be more sales. [smilie=th_sign0162] In the meantime....I just may have to stop by their store to sniff em! :D

 

Susan - So glad to C U [smilie=The_Hi] .... I hope you're feeling stronger every day!

 

I'm melting a scentsperiment of KK's Fresh Brewed Coffee + Waffle Cone. Just had a small piece of the waffle cone, so it smells mostly of coffee, but that's a gooood thing! [smilie=th_slider_flirt]

Susan ~ Hope you recuperate quickly. [smilie=th_ef3416a0]

 

Rivercat ~ Still thinking of you and the loss of your sweet kitty. [smilie=th_empathy]

 

My poor DD#1 is trying to recover from last night. She hit a dog on her way home from work and is taking it real hard. [smilie=th_cry2yw3] It had been raining off and on all day and with the high humidity, her windows were all fogged up and she didn't even see it. That turned out to be a blessing, though, because had she seen it, she would have probably tried to avoid it and either hit another car or possibly lost control of her own and had a serious accident. The officer assured her she did the right thing and that this is what unfortunately happens when people don't restrain their animals. They teach then in driving school to keep going straight if an animal is in front of them. So grateful she wasn't hurt, though her new car sustained $1500 worth of damage. :o

Oh Honeybear...your poor DD! [smilie=_smileyfacehugging_] I know how heart wrenching that can be....she just needs some time to pass cause right now she can still feel it. I hit a squirrel once and I cried so can only imagine her sadness. I am so glad that she is ok cause you are absolutely right....it could have been even worse.

Biolaeagles - Yep...that's the plan. But...ya know what they say about plans. [smilie=th_giggle] Not to worry....there's no rule that sez either of us can't go ahead and grab a candle....or two...[smilie=th_foolish1]

 

Honeybear - Awww....I'm so sorry that happened to your DD! [smilie=th_empathy] As hard as it is to deal with, the officer was right and all drivers need to remember that. I'm so glad she's ok! I know how sad she feels cuz I also hit a dog when I wasn't much older than her. I was on a country road and it just ran out, no collar, didn't even know who it belonged to. My friends that don't leash their dogs probably tire of me telling them that if their dog isn't trained to stop on a dime at their command to please PLEASE keep them on a leash. :soapbox: Better they roll their eyes at me than get a horrible consequence for their pet.

 

I'm melting FP's Apple Cider Bread. It's good, but the apple note is strong! :blink: I wonder if they changed the formula...don't remember it being this strong.

I hit a dog once also. It was a small dog that ran out of his yard. I never saw him. I was going slow also on a residential street. The problem was I got sued and I had to go to court. The owner had many witnesses and they all testified in my favor. I felt bad as it was that the dog died and I went back to apologize but this man called my house and called me names and then sued me. Very upsetting experience.

 

Melting a great one today-Frosted Punkin' Bliss from KK. Fantastic vendor so far.
