This week's MMTPT challenge is about animals or Dr. Doolittle. The optional destination station is my Sister-in-Law, Joyce. She is very weak from some major health issues. I sketched and painted a cocker spaniel puppy to cheer her (her favorite dog breed).

This turned out fabulous and irresistibly cute. I’d love to have that kind of talent. I’m sorry your sister‑in‑law isn’t feeling well. This will no doubt brighten her day.
A brand‑new ATC/Coin Swap is sailing in for June, and our theme is "The Sea". Hope you’ll dive in and join the fun! All the details are waiting for you here.

I looked at your card and the first thing I said was "awwww". This reminds me of my Lucky. He died a few years ago. My favorite cocker spaniel ever. This card is just too cute for words. Great job!!!!
