For the hop today, I've created .......Three layouts for my dogs...I just can't have one without the other..:)

Tank is MY boy!  He is a Heinz 57 and about 12 years old.  He is my shadow and I couldn't be happier.  About 10 years ago Jim and I separated for 16 months and poor Tankie boy mourned to the point I had to sneak him into my apartment once or twice a week.  Fortunately we were able to get things straightened out and Tank got to be with me all week long again.

Amy is my border collie.  She is Tank's momma.  When Katie was in 5th grade someone dumped the entire litter at the driveway to her teacher's farm.  I knew that once the kids saw the pups we would be bringing one home and sure enough she wormed her way in..  One night while in bed in the dark I heard this sliding noise going across my floor.  Liked to scare me to death..On went the light and there she stood with my blouse that I had been wearing that day,  in her mouth, and down the hall to her bed she went taking it with her.  I started to notice when I would come home from work that my clothes were continually making their way to her bed.:) Amy is now 16 and bless her heart , her days are numbered.  I know that it is a matter of time that I will have to make the dreaded decision..unless of course, if God releases me from it and takes her on His own.

Rocky....well, my son graduated and got his first apartment..Was specifically told that he could not have a dog and  that was all it took for him to go out and find not only a dog but a huge one!!  As a puppy he was precious but you know that they all grow up!  My husband had wanted a Black Lab "ALL" of his life so when Luke moved out of town and into another apartment that saw to it you didn't have animals, we of course became the proud owners..Well, Jim became grandpa and I became grandma!  So I fight the daily battle of dog hair but when you take Tanks loyalty, Amy's obsession with my clothes and needing to feel like she is beside me all the time and then Rocky just worming his way in ..well, I thank God so many times for His gift of animals as comfort keepers to the human race. 

Thank you again for checking out my project...  Now hop on over to Tanner ~ www.mrcricutcrazy.com
