I know this is a crazy looking card but let me explain....If you have never tried the Tuesday Teapot Challenge, you should really give it a try. First Cindy finds a teapot, comes up with an extremely funny story and a crazy list of characters. Her sample card is always a perfect replica of the teapot (side note, I have told her she could easily make $10.00 bills as good as she is. She told me to take a pill and that starting a life of crime at the age of 63 would not be a good thing for me!!). Now on with the story, since I have started doing these challenges, I have ridden on the sidewalk at the Tour de France, we've been to California for the crowning of the California cow...Kirsten, brought 42,000 dots to a Dalmatian with out spots... done synchronized swimming....did rappin chickens....hot air ballooned over Tahoe...and my personal favorite and how I got my nickname Con Air by snowboarding in the Winter Olympics. This is just a mere sample of the fun we have had on Tuesday's when your imagination can run wild and your card can go to someone in need of a lift. Cindy recently added a destintation challenge that is purely voluntary but since I personally know two recipients of the the donated cards, I know what a difference they have made during their recovery or difficult time in their lives.
Now my story....My lab, Pacer, certainly deserves the Court Jester's Cap for letting me white wash him leaving 42,000 black spots and coloring stripes on him with Copics. I promised they would come out in the wash.....still working on that. Oh and by the way, a certain cow named Curt shows up on Tuesdays and is quite entertaining.
This will be sent to Jake who has had more surgeries than his age of 13. Hope it makes him smile.
Come join us for the fun on Tuesday's....be careful...it is addictive.
Thank you for looking.

What a riot! He's really looking a bit humiliated, but I'm sure he has a perfectly reasonable explanation! Great job, great explanation, and a great cause!

This is not my comment!
Okay, whose turn was it to watch Pacer? Have you seen him? I thought he understood that if he was going to go wading in the Rainbow River, that he should go neck deep so that when he got out he would be fully striped!! How we gonna dunk him head first now to even him out? Call your friend...you know....the one with the helicopter!!! Yes, the same one the dropped you into Shawn White's half pipe in Colorado!! Yeah, that guy!

OMG! Con Air, I think you might be goofier than your sister! Do you know how goofy one has to be to accomplish that? Really, Really Goofy! Snort!
First of all, reading your summary cracked me up! We have done some fun things and you all are such good sports! You will pretty much come along where ever i drag you along! I watched a special on Shawn White the other day and who did i think of the whole time? YOU! I was watching his famous tricks, thinking....Con Air can do that one! Even with a bra on her head! Bwahahaha!
This my friend, is about the funniest looking doggie on the face of the earth. You say I stump you......haven't seen that happen yet! You always rise to the occasion with your creative and fun cards! I get a kick out of the look on his face...its like he's thinking.....omg! Why did I have to be born a polka dotted dog? It's like a license to dress me up, time and time again. This striped leotard and goofy jingling hat is the last straw! I am outa here...off to find me a nice fireman!
Knock Knock
Who's There
Mudder
Mudder Who?
Mudder Cute Card For Jake! Tee hee!
Thanks Con Air! Oh by the way, the bra on our head is on backwards again!

Wonderful color and wonderful stripes and wonderful dalmation dots AND.....
The expression on his poor little face...
I'm sure Jake is not one to laugh at the unfortunate, but he will certainly have a giggle at this poor pooch! TFS!
I had to smile so hard and the grin is still on my lips as I write.
THANKS also for the great description. Guilt sets in because I have been drinking too much coffee to keep me awake so I can work, work, work...I hope to be able to come back and drink tea very, very soon!
Hope you soon have a happy puppy and am sure there will be a happy Jake!
