Doggie Love!

A few weeks back, kidlets and I went to Canada's Wonderland. Knowing this was a full day event, and knowing I couldn't leave my dogs that long, I hired AllyCats Pet Services to come in to see to the dogs. Now. For those of you who know me and my dogs, I realize this won't be shocking to you. For those of you who don't, here's quite a story! LOL!

I have 2 dogs, a (mostly) well behaved beagle, and an incredibly dumb but sweet Great Dane. Unfortunately said Great Dane has health issues, and isn't allowed to walk very far. So instead of a walk, ALL the pet sitter had to do was let the pups into the back yard for a 1/2 hr romp, some puppy love, a bathroom break, and some yummy treats. Sounds easy, right? Now factor in that it's MY dogs, and it's that PARTICULAR dog!!!! Don't I get a call that silly puppy broke a nail (seriously) and it wouldn't stop bleeding! My 1/2 hr visit turned into at least a 2 hour visit (I am guessing longer though!), a vet trip, AND my morning dishes and pet food bowls washed!!! (We noticed Allyson! ;o) So to thank the incredibly responsible, patient, kind, sweet Allyson, we whipped together a set of 8 3x3 cards for her. I think she enjoyed them!

So...for anyone in the Kitchener Waterloo Region looking for a pet sitter...I'd totally recommend AllyCats Pet Services!!!

Heehee! I just realized I haven't shared this card with you all yet! We went to a wedding in May, and the couple have a great sense of humour. They love dogs, and are particularly attracted to Scooby. Also, instead of a gift, we were asked to donate to our fave charity instead. Our donation went to a private animal rescue shelter, which I absolutely adore! I tied all those thoughts together and voila! This super fun wedding card was born! (I asked later, btw, they were totally NOT offended, and rather LOVED the card! It's even in their scrapbook!)

Ingredients: (All SU! unless otherwise mentioned)
Close to Cocoa CS, Classic Ink and 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Cameo Coral CS and Classic Ink, Very Vanilla CS, Man's Best Friend Stamp Set, Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set, "veil" made from ribbon from my stash, gems also from my crafty stash.

Mojo Monday 122

Hi all! We met our new babies Monday night!!! Big C and L'il C approached me a few weeks ago with a plan to get Guinea Pigs. Their friend thought they had 2 male piggies, and....well....oops. Not so much. As a result, the kids did a LOT of research, pooled their money to purchase all of the supplies, and showed me they were ready to take on the responsibilities of more pets. The babies are 5 days old now, and are sooooo cute! They will come home at the beginning of March, and so to be prepared, I made this card as a thank you. (Sadly, I don't have a guinea pig stamp...they'll have to make due with a Scooby stamp instead! LOL! And yes...I'll admit it...my mother thinks I'm crazy...the animals are once again out numbering the humans in our house! ;o)
