In May our family lost our wonderful and loving Black Lab named Cindy to old age (15 1/2 years!!). It was a day of mixed feelings - sad for our loss, happy for Cindy's new life with all the other kittys, puppys and people she's known who've gone before her.
With every ending there's a new beginning - and a few weeks ago we received word about an abondoned White Boxer "Bella" who needed a good home - so we went for a visit... And well, yes, she came home with us!
This card was made as a Thank-You for the family who "fostered" Bella and contacted us knowing we may be interested in a new puppy dog.
The image was stamped, embossed, then bleached.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
It is wonderful that you adopted the boxer...I have a very HUGE soft spot for boxers...We have a boxer mix who had been abandoned. He's been with us since Markie was 1 1/2! Markie named him...The poor guy has been known as DOG ever since!!!
BEAUTIFUL CARD!!! I love your coloring on this one!

I can see the love you put into this card it is beautiful!
I love the fact that you rescued your boxer! I have one too, not a rescue though. But I am a doggy foster parent with AARC. It is people like you who make our job easier letting our fosters leave our home.

Oh! My heart broke for you. I know how sad it is as I lost my 14 year old poodle in December. I am so glad you found your Bella and brought her home. It is so hard to stay sad when you have another friend in the house. YOur card is wonderful.
