Here's my card, CASE'ing Barb Schram for Featured Stamper! (Congrats Barb!)
My original plan wasn't to make a pet-themed card when I chose Barb's card to CASE (Purrfect Friends by Stampfilled Dreams at Splitcoaststampers. However, we found out last evening that my Dad will most likely have to put his 14-year old Australian Shepherd down today, so I plan to send him this card with our sympathy. Deuce has always been the best girl, and she was a wonderful companion for my Dad after my parents divorced. I know he's going to miss her terribly, and we're very sad at our house, too. We know there will be lots of friends waiting to greet her though, and throw a Frisbee a few times for her. She was awesome at chasing Frisbees in her younger days! Please give your pet a big hug today in memory of Deucey!
Thanks for looking!

Sorry to hear about Deuce....I'm still trying to wear my husband down on getting a new dog (my daughter asked Santa and everything but he still isn't budging)!!

Your card is stellar and a terrific CASE. I am so sorry to hear about Deuce. It sounds like she is a sweetheart and that her absence will leave a gaping void. I share my home with a rescued Australian Shepard and I would be lost without him, so I can totally commiserate. Big hugs to your dad and to your family as this is surely a difficult time.
And thank you for sharing your wonderful card!

Very nice card, Tammy! I'm so sorry to hear about your dad's dog. Losing a dog is every bit as painful as losing a family member - they're our perfect little companions. We lost our 12 year old border collie 4 months ago. I feel for you and your dad. Hugs to you all.
