Our oldest daughter's beloved lab pup met an untimely end last week. His curiousity exceeded his good sense and he ran out into the street into the path of a vehicle. He was a fantastic dog and was deeply loved and cared for by all of us. This card is for my youngest daughter who was living with her sister last summer when Chance joined the family. She's living with her again this summer and was just about as attached to the dog as her sister. Even DH and I had completely fallen for the pup.
The inset in the top right is the verse I put on the inside of the card.
I did many searches for pet quotes trying to figure out what to say - what I came up with was inspired by a few SCS cards, some pet sympathy stamp sets I saw and a few of my own thoughts.
My girls are hurting and that makes me sad.

This makes me sad, too. I've lost a dog and know the pain it causes. Your card is lovely.

Izzy - this is a special card full of obvious love (isn't that the best kind of card?). So sorry to hear about your DD's dog - they do steal our hearts for sure.

Another gorgeous and lovingly made card, Heather. I know what it's like to hurt terribly when my kids are hurting. It's so good that you could find something to do--actually act on--to help them, and yourself. What lovely sentiments. Nicely done.

Okay, I was just recuperating and now I see a new card for your other daughter mourning over the loss of Chance! I guess it will be 2 weeks before I'm back in action now and I'll have to go see my shrink to get me back on track. But, that's okay Diz because I think this is yet another example of how caring and supportive you are to your family and to us. I'm so sad for you and your family. I think this is another awesome sentiment and creation. Now, who's going to send you and your dh a sympathy card? I would, but I can't right now. So, for now, I will keep you all in my prayers!! Hugzi!
