Challenge entry for By Lori Designs - BLDC9

Today I am just going to post a card for a challenge that ends this evening...Leave it to me to forget and post it at the last minute..LOL Since my son and I worked on this card earlier this week, I have to make sure I get it in on time.

This is my entry for the By Lori Design Challenge #9

I purchased these digi images a while ago, but hadnt used them yet, so I thought I would enter the challenge this week using them. Each one was carefully cut out by my wonderful son for me (Thanks Sweetie!) and I enjoyed using the different shades of green. Arent they adorable!?! I colored them with my trusty Copics and their shoes and the dog are even colored Green Gray (BG93) which I think looks great! Who wouldnt want a green/gray dog?? LOL

Hope you enjoy this quick post and challenge entry.

Yep, that's it...no rambling today. But I am sure I will catch up the next time I post..lol

Our Rescue Dogs

Here are some pics of our two dogs that we rescued from shelters.
Sabrina is part schipperke and part chow and is entirely black including her tongue! She only weighs 45 pounds so is a medium sized dog and her hair is as soft as silk! We went to look at puppies at the shelter (Angel Ridge Rescue) but my younger sister saw Sabrina and pointed her out from among all of the dogs that were running around the outdoor play area. What a beautiful sight she was! She was rescued from a home and we had no details on her life before her rescue. She once had a very bad case of separation anxiety, which is now completely gone and she is our sweet loving girl. I call Sabrina my Velcro dog, because she loves being near me. She loves attention and quickly makes friends with everyone because of her sweet temperament.

Jake is part mini schnauzer and part West Highland Terrier and was one of 36 dogs rescued from an apartment (yes..an apartment!) which was running an internet puppy mill for these little sweeties. Jake weighed 15 pounds and had a very severe case of being afraid of everything and everyone. When we saw him at our local animal shelter (Animal Friends) he was hiding under the bed and as soon as I saw his sweet face, I knew in my heart he was what our house and Sabrina needed...a new friend! Jake is now what I call my Super glue dog, because he not only wants to be near me, but he prefers being attached to me permanently!!

After meeting Jake, my older sister adored him from the start. I called up a friend who volunteers at Animal friends and was informed that all 36 had been adopted out. About less than a week or so I got a call that someone had actually returned one of the mini schnauzer/westie mixes! How could they? Why would they? Who cared?? My sister was given the opportunity to own one of Jake's friends/relatives!!

Well as it turned out we are convinced that Zoe (my sisters rescued dog) is Jake's Mother. Jake was approximately 2 years old and Zoe was 8 years old. Their markings are nearly identical and although Jake has a rounder face (like a Westie) they are so similar it is hard to ignore. When they first met each other, they went snout to snout and pounced their noses together like they were kissing each other Hello! It was adorable!!! When Zoe visits, they all are inseparable! Sabrina loves them both and all three of them love spending time together.

I would recommend to EVERYONE to ignore the pricey "purebred or trendy dog of the moment" dogs that you arent sure where they come from and find yourself a wonderful loving companion and friend in a rescue dog! When I heard the following phrase it truly summed up how I feel about adopting a rescue dog for our home: Adopt a rescue....They never forget and love you forever for it!!
