Hi, guys! What's up?
I hope all of you are well--things are not so good with my Chihuahua though ^^;
My Chihuahua, Casper, got an anal gland abscess/infection.
It was located just beside his butt hole and while I can't see it well since he's a long-haired Chihuahua, I immediately noticed it since he acted odd (not as active as usual and whining while dragging his butt). Fortunately, the vet said it's not serious and Casper should recover well after some antibiotic and keeping the abscess clean when it bursted. I'll be busy for a while since Casper tends to be dramatic and I need to keep watching him + clean his butthole every time he pooped.
On the other hand, the Castle's Library Background is making a good progress!
I finished the basic shapes for all the furniture (except the carpet) and all I need to do now is to render their texture and... I need to make lots of books. I mean, LOTS of them ^^; this will be very time consuming.
You can kinda see the bookshelves behind it and I need to fill FIVE of them.
I don't want them to look too monotone so yeah, I'll be hand-drawing each book/tome/scrolls... my poor, unfortunate wrist :'))
Here's hoping I can somehow finish the Library's Daytime version next week! If not, I'll keep you updated >_<
Welp, that's it for now and thanks as always for sparing some of your time to read my update~
I need to get back to attending his majesty--I mean Casper 😂
Let's continue to work hard together but don't forget to eat your meals, have plenty of rest, and stay safe!
xoxo,
SweetChiel
Fun Fact: Casper really hates the cone of shame the vet gave him and looks very miserable. After a while, I took it off since he can't lick his butthole anyway. Ironically, he has very long hair around his butthole, even after the vet trimmed it a little. It acted as a natural barrier and he can't bend too much since the position of the abscess is tricky and risk sitting on it, which is painful.
