Wanna be a Critter, yes they do! Here's what happens in Boxertown, USA. Imagine this, a dog pound full up. And why is that? They git in there's so they can find their way to Shirtley's Dawg Heaven, yes they do! No one loves dogs like Shirley Q. If you know Shirley, you know her heart for critters. Strays come looking for her! (really, they chase her truck down!) Shirley is a friend dear to my heart, and one that you can trust without question. And, did I mention she was Crazy Fun too? Lol- this gal is a riot, and she is talented! Today I had the best time, running thru Shirley's entire gallery and smiling to think back on all the craziness, and my heart was warmed. I cased this card, knowing how critters touch Shirley's heart. Shirley's dog, Savannah Rose won a contest at a rubber stamp company and you can see it here: Pet Lover's Star Search. I kept her layout and changed the colors. I wish I had the image, but knew Shirley would love a google image of this lil baby that looks like her smaller dogs.
Sissy, it was great fun to go thru your entire gallery this morning, and brought back many happy memories. And it reminded me to thank God again for those people He allows to cross paths. You are a treasured friend. Enjoy your week!
LYMI!

Pat, honor you did! This is a lovely lovely card. You have such a way with words and we all know you have such a way with creating beautiful cards. This touches my heart. This may have caused a little tear in Shirt's eyes when she read it. You are a sweetheart. Oh and the card is gorgeous!

Oh my this is so sweet. First it looks like a Yorkie. I had one for 16 years and what fun he was. He loved everyone. Shirley has such a heart of dogs. Makes me love her. This is a lovely card Pat.
