Mojo Monday ~ Sad Card
So I had some bad news this morning, I found out that a family member's beloved dog passed away. Made me so heart sick as I nurse my own sweet dog back from his surgery that I just HAD to make them a card....so I turned to the best sketches over at Mojo Monday and made up this card.
It's strange for me not to use an image on a card....and I actually really looked for one to use, and I do have alot of dog images, but none that fit the sad occasion....and I do have these wonderful dog sayings from Cloud 9 that I thought would work perfectly. I've used the papers from the BG Max and Whiskars line (Im gonna miss those when Im thru that stack! which Im burning thru fast!) I hope you like my version of the sketch.
My own big baby is coming along. He puts more and more weight on his leg as they tell me he should be, but as he feels better and better he thinks he can do more and more....so I have to watch him closely. Here he is laying on our deck, he LOVES to lay in the sunshine, guess he needs some Vitamin D or something. He's shy of his shaved leg still and he's trying to cover it from my camera...LOL...but the swelling and bruising is gone, and his incision looks marvelous! So, we're coming along. :o)

Hello Cheri, I was touched by your story... I have a small yorkie of 10 years, and I am helplessly devoted to him. He is my fist dog ever, and I never thought I would love a dog so much. I was a cat lover. Your card is so very lovely. I love the little punched paws at the bottom, such a cute detail. Everything else is pefectly nice. Love it.
Hugs.

How sweet...and perfect! So thoughtful, your awesome.
My sweetie is coming on 11 years now and I dread 'the day'. She is my daemon.
Is that a puppy footprint border?! OMG how cute!! This card is so sweet and I'm sorry to hear about your friend's pooch. Also nice to hear Tonka is doing so well. :)
Awwe I'm so sorry for your friend's loss.Words cannot express the sadness in one's heart when you lose a loved one.Even if it is a pet,they become family instantly.
So glad to see Tonks is doing well!!I love his shy look.LOL.It's like he's saying "Mom stop it"!
Great card hun!
What a great card. Love the saying and great to see how Tonka is doing. I to have an older dog who is on heavy meds. That is going to be one black day when her time comes. We all try and give the best we can and they in return give us all their love and support. Take Care
aaaww! cheri that's such a nice card!! great take on the sketch (that I didn't see, but I just love how you made the card! lol) that's a great sentiment too! Glad to hear that Tonka is doing better too! I thought tomorrow night, I might just put Kieran to sleep here, then come over...so I might be a bit later than 7...probably 7:30ish? I'll see ya then!
Oh, I love the colours and that foot prints boarder, lovvvvvvvveeeee it! The card is so cute. I am glad to hear that Tonka is doing better, what a beautiful dog Cheri! Pets truely are the great companions. My cat's are definately part of my family.
Such a sad story! Great card they will surely appreciate it! Take care! Gemma
This is very thoughtful of you and the card is lovely. This card is perfect for such a heart-breaking loss. I actually have tears... i lost my sweet dog to cancer a few weeks ago.
Dogs are the best and they grab hold of our hearts and play fetch with them like a tennis ball.
My heart-felt sympathy to your family members and my love to your doggy too...
Hi Girl, go check my blog, there is an award waiting for you to cheer you up! Hugs Gemma
