Autumn - 1995



I made this for several challenges at Sketches 4 All--Melissa O'Neill, Wendy Crow and Stacy Harper Watson's to be exact! I combined the challenges so that I could enter Stacy's "Ya Ain't Gettin' Off that Easy" challenge which is to incorporate 3 or more challenges into one layout!  I am also entering it into Frosted Designs because I did some distressing!

Autumn was the best dog I ever had! I originally got her so that I could train her to be a Support Dog for the disabled.  However, she developed hip dysplasia, so they couldn't use her. When I found that out, I chose to adopt her.  She would have been such a good help to someone! She was so eager to please.  She's been gone a long time, but I think of her all of the time!  Now, I am allergic to dogs (all kinds--even the ones that are good for people with allergies)! Isn't that weird? I had one of the most shedding dogs in Autumn, and now I wouldn't even be able to have her...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!! Blessings are sent your way!

  12. This is a lovely tribute to your sweet pup. I have owned two goldens and find them to be the most loving and loyal friends. It's wonderful that you have documented this good friend.
