Card #19 for 2024

Hello Crafting friends.

I'm still quite upset over the loss of our beloved HP.

It's the little things that make it so raw feeling.

Getting a package in the mail, use to be so exciting

because my little buddy would be sniffing away at it,

and we'd open it together.  Then when I went out

to grab an afternoon slice of cheese I instinctively 

looked for my little guy to give him a slice.  I went 

outside for the first time since his passing and coming

back into my home I had a full on panic attack, my chest

was so tight I thought it was the end.  I'm so use to 

him greeting me like he always has for the past 12 1/2 years. 

The one that hurts so much is he watched me as much as I watched him.

He was also my little vacuum, so the other day when I came out 

of my craft room and noticed a piece of a siete chip on the floor,

I just lost it, he would have scarfed that down in a second.  It hurts 

my friend, sooo very bad.  Well anyways I made this card and a duplicate

for our Vet, who had to put him down, the whole office signed a 

sympathy card and sent it to us.   The other card is for a friend 

who always asked about HP.  

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

The Male Room

The stamp sets used in this card are:

Stampin up:  Happy Tails, Strong of heart

Simon Says:  Pawprints on our hearts

This is just a straight forward card, some 

stamping,  cutting and a few dimensionals, 

to pop up the paw, and the sentiment to tie 

it all together.   It's so hard to be creative

when your heart is broken.  

This is the night before our little guy had to be put

down.  The kids all came home and we spent time

loving on him and making him the center of attention

like we also did,  he then went and laid down as if 

to take us all in, so sweet, and then he got up and 

came and sat by my feet.  Oh how my heart hurts for him. 

He fought hard the past two years, and especially the last

2-3 months, we were bottling feeding him the last two 

months, it was difficult, and little sleep, but I wouldn't trade 

that time with him for anything, and if I could, we'd still

be doing it, but he was having trouble breathing in the end. Not 

just the swallowing.  what an amazing dog,  So blessed 

to have had him in our family. I have videos on instagram

if you care to see him, it's in my highlights under Sir Hunter. 

The verse I chose for this card is:

John 14:1 KJV

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, Believe also in me.
