Buddy's big rescue attempt and new stuff I got finished this week

You probably remember this little poodle, "Buddy" I inherited him, when my parents both passed away last year.  He is very spoiled, doesn't get along with other dogs, especially my dog Belle.  Now Belle, is old, at least 14 years old .  She is completely deaf and has cataracts on both eyes, so she can't see very well.  She is not getting around very well anymore, I am trying to work up the courage to take her to the vet to have her put to sleep. She struggles getting up, and I hate for her to suffer.  We have an inground pool, that is about 30 feet in length, and twice now she has fell into the pool, once my daughters dog accidentally pushed her in and another times, she fell in on her own.  But today, I was at the computer, and Buddy keep barking at the back door, I was frustrated, because he kept at it, I finally said FINE you are going outside and staying there, but imagine my shock when I opened the door and saw Belle in the pool, frantically trying to stay afloat and grab on to side, I rushed out and pulled her out, luckily she was okay.  But if it weren't for Buddy, I wonder is I would have found her when I did. I am afraid to leave the house now for any length of time, incase it happens again.  We have a cat door, that dogs and cats go out.

This is Belle, she is so frail looking now.  But seems to perk up at night and want petted, so don't know what to do.

Here are a few of the things I have gotten done this week.  These little elves took me several days to get them done, but glad I finished them. I would like to find some little hammers to go in their hands. I like to display these on a 4 foot ladder at my shows.

Next, I was able to get 6 of the Prairie doll Angels finished, used up some of the fabric stash I had on these. 

Made their bags from an old quilt. They have no legs and the dress is long.
