doctor gave her two injection and antibiotics and he is saying "that it is because of infection in her teeth..she will be fine soon..and bring her back on monday"..
ohh me not happy today..i am just so sad with maloo..our whole family is very sad..i even gave her my tusal jar and take out all the threads for her to play but she is till not playing...
but thankfully she is eating well..she ate nicely and now she is sleeping in her blanket.

please pray for maloo that she get well soon..i am so much sad for her..i cant see her like that..she is always very playful..

thank you dear sari xx
here is my award..

i am so happy for it:) but now its mean i have to confess 8 things about me..
and they are..
1) when i was in school i used to read the books in grave yards..i used to take my pillow with and there was a big old tree i love to sit on the branch...with my pillow and then i read...and sometime i sleep there too..and once i fell from the branch while i was dozing :)
2) i am a real sweet tooth..i can leave food but cant forget the sweet dish;)
3) i love to sleep..my father used to call me sleepy bunny..i can sleep for hourssssssssssssss.
4) i was so mad about Anne of green gable..(and still i am) and because of that i once dyed my hair red..oops! and i hide myself in the bathroom for a hour and my mom was looking for me and she took me out...and then a long lecture..and me sitting with my red head..
5) when i was a child i used to spend all my pocket money on buying books...and i still do.
6) i love to live a place where i can see lots of snow..i wish i can see snow falling from my window.
7) i will cry so much on my wedding day..because of the thought that i will never sleep from now in my own room in my mom's house ..(lol..i am laughing on that thought now)
8) i love grave yards..so much..i love spending time there.

here is a picture of me in a very old grave yard..this graveyard is 200 year old and the grave behind me is a grave of a sailor..and he passed away on 1817.this graveyard is in a very old miners town.
so here is ME again with my confessions..so now you know little more about cucki :)
