Bandaid
3 years ago
Nothing serious now, just a bit of a uhm. boost of sorts to bandaid some hefty bills that landed on us.
A lot of things that happened through the spooky month of October while I was working on the Autumn Ink pieces. Everything is now fine, for the most part. It's a miracle I finished all 31 pieces LOL
My family and I took a massive hit to our finances. I'm sure people are familiar with my "Million Dollar Dog" Dinkie, Mr 'get hit by a car', and has Addison's disease (I call it princess disease lol).
With our luck, he struck again with Hematoma in his ear that inflated like a balloon and filled with blood, and had to have emergency surgery.
It landed a good ol $2300 bill:

We switched from Cone of Shame to Donut of Doom for mobility, our house is tiny as a matchbox and our kneecaps were in danger lol xD
He's doing great now and had stitches removed last night, but on Halloween we ended up having to take our youngest cat Cali to the vet as he became ill out of nowhere.
Cali had a 105.2F fever and lethargic. We managed to get blood work done but couldn't afford everything else the vet wanted to do (which was another estimated $2k with hospitalization, but Dinkie drained us lol) They found he had some type of infection in an unknown location but he had "remarkable" health otherwise, so Vet gave him the liquid pouch thing on his side to re-hydrate him, some antibiotics and luckily he's now back to normal.
A nice, spooky near $600 vet bill:

EDIT as of 12-10-2022: Kitten went to a new home
EDIT as of 12-6-2022: We may have found a home for the kitten
I didn't say much before because I didn't THINK it would get this chaotic, but we've been in contact with a rescue trying to do something about this massive feral cat colony and the bagillion kittens. I fostered 5 with my aunt, and they were adopted out (except for 1, but has a medical issue). And AGAIN another batch of 5, but it was 2 at first that were found while they were doing the trap, neuter and release program....then another 3 were found a few days later, and my household was caring for them..unfortunately one of the young kittens died from Fading Kitten Syndrome, and my aunt took the other 2 as Dinkie had to have emergency surgery and it was too much going on around that time.
Now with that new kitten...welp, it's ours for now. My nephew brought it home from school recently saying kids were scaring it, and he took it. It's not part of the feral cat colony so the rescue won't/can't get involved due to it being at capacity, we can't just release it since its too young, shelters can't take in anymore kittens, and no one I know can take in anymore pets.
It might end up our 6th cat, not by choice...but it's a cute lil brat xD We're trying to get it tested soon to make sure it is safe to be around our other pets.
So I plan to sell the Autumn Ink ACEO/card pieces. Not sure where to start for the pricing, or if I should do auction for the cards.
And boosting some adopt a roos and templates, if anyone is interested
I also have a few open adopts here:

And I also have lineart templates available for purchase at the following sites:

Would be nice to send to a company to have them put it on a canvas for a wall decoration. Also if some of the derg ones come with the ability to use them as one's own character well you know me. I'll end up giving them a full body eventually >.>
And of course~ Whatever dragon is on the card, that character design is yours to keep I'd love to see some bodies for some of them lol xD
I was thinking $65-70USD each for the cards with shipping included for a normal price, but Im curious to see if auctions would work better. Alternatively, if the person doesn't want the original card sent to them for whatever reason, I can redo the dragon's head digitally (maybe change a few things too if they want lol)
