Well, Emma ended up staying overnight at the animal hospital because the vet insisted that she stay. I picked her up yesterday afternoon and she is a sad little dog; this snakebite was much more serious than the last one. She has a lot of swelling on her right side from the snake venom. The vet shaved a patch of hair off on both her front legs to run IV lines, so she looks a bit funny. She will get over it, but it will take a few days.
The swelling has gone down a bit this morning, but she is still lethargic and wants to be where I am. I was going to go to town today to run errands, but I think I'll stay home and keep an eye on her (and hopefully stitch some). Here she is with her shaved legs and looking sad.
And no, I haven't stitched much this week. The confetti stitches are driving me nuts, so I think I'll move over to a page with large blocks of color and stitch there for awhile.
This weekend, if all goes well, DH should be able to get the water supply run to the bathroom from the main, and we will hopefully be closer to getting the bathroom done!
And if it gets here as promised, I will be switching over to a Mac computer this weekend. I have had nothing but problems with my less-than-a-year-old Dell. I researched Dell quite a lot before I "splurged" on a Dell computer and I know a lot of people swear by them. I have not had a good experience with them and have decided to go with a Mac. It seems with PCs, it's always something.

Poor Emma! I hope she feels better soon!
Awwww what a sad little face. I sure hope she feels better today and even better tomorrow. I am glad you are staying home with her today.
Good luck with the Mac. Everybody that I know that has one will never go back to anything else.
I don't believe I've ever seen such a pitiful pup! But, you're her Mom and that's why she wanted to be with you. Lots of TLC.
Mary
