Stress knitting is a REAL thing! While worrying about my Georgie while she was in the doggie hospital and then while watching her all night after we got home somehow I managed to finish my first sweater (knit) 😱

We'll see how big the arm holes under the armpits are after she's dry 🤭🤣

My Georgie is home from the hospital. On meds for a heart arythmia and we need to find her a cardiologist for images. Appreciate all the love and prayers. As I am in charge of said meds I may be a little MIA for a few more days. Sorry guys. Gotta take good care of my soul pup.🩵

Update for those asking:
Georgie is overnight at the animal hospital. Her heart rate and rhythm was out of control. Will know more tomorrow about the cause and hopefully treatment.

She's been my shadow and side kick through my whole cancer journey. We lost her sister and brother about the time I got diagnosed--- Lord knows I'm not ready to lose this one. She is my complete heart. 💜

Thank you to all of you who reached out. It's appreciated more than you know. 💜🩵
