This is the memory book that I made for my mom for Mother's Day. She had to put down her fourteen year old basset hound this spring. It was a very difficult time for all of the family and this book really touched her.
I really underestimated how much time it would take to finish this book, but in the end it was worth all the time and preparation.

What a beautiful keepsake for your mom! You did a fantastic job. I just love bassett hounds and BoBo caught my eye. I'm sure your mom just loved the album.
When our basset (Dinky) wanted to come into the house my kids would ask her..."who is your boyfriend?" and she would howl and say "raauuuuuuuullll". She was so sweet, my kids loved her to pieces.
Thanks for sharing your album.

Wonderful book........My daughter recently, shockingly lost her 12 yr old dog (died during having her teeth cleaned). What a great idea. I will just have to make one like this for her. TFS

I'm sure your mom will keep this close; what a thoughtful daughter you are! I looked at the other pics of your book and you did a very great job. I liked your choice of colors and plaid - just seems perfect for a basset.

What a wonderful book - love the stick on the binding - and the flowers and the dog collar - my son has a bassett hound and they just love her (Daisy May!) I'm sure your mother will treasure this forever.
