Boy and his Dog

Hello,  and welcome!

Those of you who pop in here on a regular basis will already know that the Hubster and I have ten grandsons and seven granddaughters....at the moment!  We have another......gender not yet known.....due in January...woohoo!

Our grandson, George, turns 9 years old on Thursday, and has wanted a puppy for the longest time.  Not just any puppy, either......he specifically wanted a Springer Spaniel....oh my......and his Mummy and Daddy relented, so we have one happy boy!

Here's the proof......

  

Her name is Daisy and she's 10 weeks old.......gorgeous!  Those ears are like silk....so soft, and she gives the softest little kisses with her ikkle pink tongue....aaawwww!

A very happy boy and his darlin' doggie!

Here's the card I'll be giving to George on Friday.......

I used a really cute MelJens digi which I thought was just the job......the papers are from a DCWAV stack...little doggie bones...haaa!

George has light blonde hair....I am sooo bad at colouring hair!.......but this does look a little like him..hahaa....all done with Promarkers, as per usual...........the calendar "post" is a freebie stamp that came with the Happy Birthday sentiment....I stuck it onto a plastic garden tag and coloured in George's birthday month.....should have got a better photo of that one......

I cut down the front of the card and used my circle punch to take out the semi-circle, so the little paws circle would fit, when the card is closed......

I cut the fence from some wood-grain type card and stamped the sentiment onto kraft, then threaded some brown floss, knotted at the front, and hung the "sign" from the fence.......I also embossed the stripey paper before sticking down, at the bottom of the card...........

The little paws are from an old sticker sheet....cute, eh?

The Hubster and I will be taking George to PetSmart, on Friday, to buy Daisy a collar and lead.......it's lovely to see how well he's already taking care of her, and I think this is going to be a mutual love affair for many years to come....nothing better to watch than a boy and his dog!

Hugs,
