Happy Halloween everyone,
First, I have some sad news. We had to say good-bye to our dog on Saturday night. She was in a lot of pain so we made the decision to let her go. We stayed with her until the end, cuddled her and gave her all the love we could....saying good-bye is heartbreaking. We've loved all our dogs, from mutts to purebreds, but this girl was very special. She was the kindest, sweetest dog and was loved by everyone who knew her and more than once let me know she was the smarter one. We have vowed no more dogs, although my Sister is skeptical since the longest we've been without a dog is 6 months, but it's getting way too hard to say good-bye.

Oh dear Pat, I really am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved dog. I'm sure you have lot's of happy memories, she sounds like she was a big part of your family.
Your card is fabulous, I love the jolly image and the colours and details are wonderful. I'm sorry I could not take part this time, life has been a bit hectic this week.
Take care

Another gorgeous Pat creation. Really cute image and love your layout and design. My thoughts are with you as I know the loss of loosing favourite pets. I lost my last dog 5 years ago and back problems have prevented me getting another. I now have a cat, but they aren't the same as having a dog around. When I came back from holiday she ignored me for 3 days, the dogs would have been permanently under foot :)
Just looked through your beautiful cards from the past 2 weeks and all so beautiful

The most beautiful Christmas card Pat, love the image and the gorgeous die cut frame underneath, in fact I just love everything about it. Take care, love and hugs.

My heart goes out to you over the loss of your beloved pets. Those precious animals really do steal a piece of our hearts don't they. My aunt and mom and cousin swear by getting another new baby as soon as possible to help a person heal - but I suppose that is up to each person. Hugs to you though!
