Sketch 393~ Stampin Up~Happy Tails, Simon Says, Pawprints on your Heart, Pocket Full of Happy

Sunday November 1st. 2020 we got some 

distressing news.  Our daughter and son-in-law

had to take their darling cat, Charlie to the

emergency vet.  

We didn't suspect anything, just that the 

kids said he was having trouble using the 

litter box.   So they took him in to get checked out. 

They were just sending me fun pictures of 

the little sweetheart playing and being his 

usual curious self, and then 3 hours later

the vet calls to tell them the news.  

Needless to say we were all in shock.   I will share 

a quick story about Charlie.   My friend who 

lives about an hour an a half away heard some noise

in her garage, and what she discovered was a little kitty. 

Apparently where she lives in the country people just 

turn their cats loose.  It's so sad, anyways she called

asked if I knew anyone that would want a cat.

We are a dog loving family, and I've always been 

quite allergic to cats.  But I asked around and then

I asked my daughter (who is also allergic to cats) and her 

hubby who grew up with cats, well friends they drove up

and picked up the little fella, and it was love at first meow. 

Now, Charlie was a little rascal, and in fact we called him a

little dog cat, because quite frankly he acted a lot like a dog.

He'd even want his tummy rubbed.  So sweet.  Charlie was 

my grandkitty.  Aw, we bonded, He would recognize my voice,

and come running, I'd babysit him at their house when the

kids were on vacations.  It was fun, I'd look for the best

toys for him to play with.  Quite honestly I cried so hard 

yesterday I never in a million years expected this, and 

neither did the kids.  He was such a young cat.  

Any ways  That is the long story behind this card today. 

Charlie will be so very missed.  All the 

tricks he could do and the squawking, 

and the snuggles.  Oh gosh. 

Hug your pets.  I know I have a 

greater appreciation for my HP.  

Time is so short with our fur friends.   

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Below is a picture of beautiful Charlie.  

His eyes are the color of my daughter's. 

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Simon Says:  Pawprints on Your Heart

Simon Says: Pocket Full of Happy

Stampin Up:  Happy Tails.

Pretty straight forward stamping with this card,  

The homemade DSP on the bottom was created 

by using the heart and paw print stamps.  I wanted 

to keep the color tones of the card in check with 

Charlie.  He was a beautiful cat.  

I'm also including a few pictures of my love, HP.  

This fella cracks me up daily.  Such a joy 

to have around.  And a few more pictures of 

Charlie.

 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
