This week our destination is Meadowbrook, PA. George was brought to our attention by fellow Teapotter Fran (philsmom). Some of you may know that Fran is an avid lover of Jack Russell doggies! Fran's friend, George is also a Jack Russell lover, owner and a breeder. He has also battled cancer and was given the all clear last year. However, upon reexamination in October of this year, the doctors determined that the all clear given was in error. As of this writing, George has opted to have surgery, a very risky one requiring months of recuperation away from his home and his dogs.
I love dogs too! We have two rescue dogs. So I was determined to find a Jack Russel Terrier for George. After searching the internet for possible digis, I came across this ink drawing by Bobbi Heath on her blog:

What a terrific card for any dog lover let alone Jacks! Love that image and the way you have presented it. Super colouring. My brother has a Jack Russell. They sure do have personality. TFS

I love your Jack Russell image, Kathleen - I searched the net for Jack Russell photos, too, but wasn't happy with what I found so opted for something else. I love the colours in your card, your great sentiment and, yes, I did laugh at your jokes!!

You are just too funny, Kathleen!! I love this handsome pup on nap time, makes you want to lay down beside him or her and cuddle! This makes me think of watching our pets sleep, wondering what they are dreaming about when they make their little noises, or twitches! George will love this little pup!

I agree with the above about your "jokes". Laughter is a great healer for sure. Your doggie looks so peaceful. Makes me want to take a nap and it is still morning! Awesome card done quite well. TFS :0)
