The Big Bugger again...

Here is the latest update on my Big Bugger of a Boria . As you can see, I have half of the ginormous rug behind me by now. Meaning I have stitched about 100.000 plus stitches (and frogged many of them , too). The chart is not that hard, but sometimes one gets a blind spot and one has to make the same piece over and over, because it does not come out right. Sigh. I am counting impaired....Yes, right, I am whining big time over this baby!

Re: my patient: yesterday I had a heart-to-heart with Floris's vet; I needed some input from someone who knows him, his history, and who knows me, too. He advised me to have a go at painkillers and look if the guy still enjoys life. Floris took the painkiller rather graciously ( he does not dislike them and they work quite well).Well, he obvioulsy still does- he stole my salmon pate last night.
Of course, we do not have much time together any more, but I do honestly not think he is really suffering right now.If/when I think he does,I will let him go, of course.
