I do think I commented on this page, but I have to again. She is such a dear. Your journaling is beautiful and so touching. This was and is a FAVE. I love the colors and title letters.
Hey there! I'm catching up on comments from the August Cosmo Cricket Challenge. I'm so sorry to have taken so long.
I'm not really sure where to begin here. The journaling is just amazing. Such a touching story and I'm glad you spoke up! The title letters are just fantastic, and I can't tell which swirls are doodled and whice are rubons. This entire layout is just fantastic.
Bless you for rescuing all these dogs like you do...you are incredible! Beautiful dog & beautiful LO - lovely colors. The transparency, rubons, pp & flower-trim look marvelous.
I LOVE this so much. I think animals who are rescued tend to have an intuition that follows them throughout their lives. Good work on the beautiful lo and great work saving C's life ")

OMGosh what a WONDERFUL person you are!!! what a story, I'm sure that Coco knows it too!! what a great story :) love the stamping around the C, so eye catching :)
This is the story of how I rescued a Chow puppy. The year was 2000, 8 years ago. The journaling page lifts for another picture of Coco, at full grown. One of the things I LOVE about Coco is that she has the SOFTEST velvety face!
Journaling says: One early morning as we were driving down Bannister Road we noticed a little puppy sitting under the bench at a bus stop. Immediately we turned around and pulled into the parking lot. There was a woman sitting there and our conversation went as follows:
“Is that your dog? “Yes.”
“Are you taking her with you?” “No, I'm going to work, she followed me here.”
“Are you leaving her here?” “She'll go back home, we live in the apartments across the street.”
(Mind you -Bannister Road has 8 lanes of traffic – and it was rush hour.)
“There is no way that your dog can make it safely across with all this traffic.” “Well, there's nothing I can do, I have to go to work.”
“Did you know it is against the law to cause harm or the death of an animal? Would you like for me to find your dog a home?” “No, what would I tell my daughter when she came home from school?”
“What will you tell her when she comes home from school and sees the dog dead on the road?” “My oldest daughter got her and her landlord said she couldn't keep her so she gave her to me, and I can't bring her in my apartment anyway. So, go ahead and take her.”
So, I scooped the puppy up and brought her home.
Now ... What would I tell my husband? I'm always rescuing animals and we had 3 dogs already. I pondered over this for some time and came to a conclusion. My oldest son was in the process of building his own house, while still living at home. So I called him up and said: “Guess what? I got you a housewarming present!”
So, dear Coco became his dog. When he moved, Coco went with him. And later on when he was going to get married I told him that if his fiancé didn't get along with Coco I would take her back. It ended up that my daughter in law loved Coco too. Now Coco is getting a little old, but you couldn't find a sweeter chow dog anywhere. She is so gentle, with the babies. She knows she is loved and she knows we saved her life.
UPDATE: Coco went gently to sleep in October 2010, old and satisfied and deeply loved. She is missed.
The scalloped paper is a clear transparency with blackened edges (and inked). I got the idea from Gabriellep's anniversary card.... thank you! (Her transparency is a million times better though!) Also there are rubons and hand doodling mixed together on and around the letter 'C', and handdoodles on the other letters.
