Sssssh….

We’ve got to do the prize draw.  Higgins was really looking forward to it. We were going to have fun with the hat, and interesting pieces of paper and possibly running round the garden trying to read the piece of paper before it got too soggy.

But Higgins is a poorly little pup…

We had to spend some time at the vet’s today because he couldn’t eat his breakfast biscuits and spat out his cornflake at Granny’s.  And when he barked at the post lady, he squeaked.  It seems to be a sore throat.  I have been poaching chicken to serve with rice and he can manage that.  No walkies, and no playing with friends…and Higgins can’t do that either! 

So while Higgins sleeps off the injection and the antibiotic tablets, I am quietly enlisting the assistance of the online Random Number Generator (which isn’t quite so much interactive fun)

I gave everyone a number, pressed go..and…

…it’s…

Sarah Hickman!

Congratulations Sarah! Your Pompom Bunting will be in the post next week, I hope you enjoy it.   Meanwhile, I shall put my nurse’s hat on again and go and check out the sick room…sssssh….

About penny

I live in Norfolk, England in a cottage on the edge of the Norfolk Broads where it can be peaceful and beautiful, or wet and muddy, or occasionally wild and windswept. With me is husband Tim, Henry the elderly and opinionated tabby cat, and Higgins, the miniature dachshund with a massive personality. You’ll find me chattering on about wool and textiles, knitting and crochet, recipes, books and patterns, exhibitions and shopping and of course, the adventures of a small dog! Planet Penny has a Facebook Page, you can find me on UK Handmade and I am featured on Channel4/4Homes Favourite Craft Blog List.

    Yay! It’s me! I’ve been thinking about this bunting ever since I saw it – can’t believe it’s mine!
    Hope Higgins is better soon.
    Thanks again!! x

    Oh no poor Higgins!
    He looks so sick and sad lying in his basket….
    Poor darling, but how lucky is he to have poached chicken and rice,
    what an angel for a mother he has! Feel better soon Higgins!

    Poor boy. But how brave of him to suffer the torment of poached chicken and rice…. Get better soon, Higgins, because post ladies won’t bark themselves, you know….

    Poor Higgins! Get well soon.

    Poor me, I didn’t win the bunting, but congratulations to Sarah, I’m sure she’ll enjoy it as much as I would have.

    ps. when you are down my way…I got the Belle and Boo wrapping paper from McCarrons of Mercatoria in Norman Road , St. Leonards-on-Sea. It’s a lovely road of sweet shops, vintage goodies, antiques, art gallries and the Little Larder serves delicious food xox

    No! Poor poor Higgins. We all send him our best wishes, he is a star around here.

    Lucky lucky sarah.

    PS will you be coming to PnM on the 20th Nov? It would be such a treat to see you x

    A big kiss for Higgins, my poor boy. They have a way of just curling up and being in themselves when they’re ill don’t they? I do hope he’s o.k. poor little thing. For a Dachshund to be off his food is just about the most unusual thing isn’t it? And no bark, well, no wonder you took him straight to the vet. Congrats to sarah, I bet she’s thrilled to bits. Love Vanessa xx
