Hello, good morning, and HAPPY DAY to you. It's gonna be a busy day, so I'd better get on with this post. My dad is taking grandpa to the hospital today, so DH and I are going to put up new mailboxes for both dad and grandpa. Dad had a little mishap a few weeks ago, and backed over the mailboxes. One barely survived, and the other wasn't so lucky, so both need to be replaced. Then we'll check the cows to see if there are any new babies. It probably doesn't sound like much fun to many, but it sounds like a glorious day to me!!
On to the card! This is one of my new stamps from Dog Gone Stamps. When I saw it, I knew I had to get this one. I know it's supposed to be a little Westie dog, but the image looks just like my yorkie-poo, Oliver. Many of you have seen pictures of my whopping 3 lb. killer dog, and this IS Oliver from the top of those spikey ears right down to those cute little turned out feet!! Oliver often wears little shirts and t-shirts, because he's so little that he's cold all the time. I'm sending this card to my friend, Doreen. Doreen is the one who found Oliver, and asked if we would think about giving him a home. She's also the Lola culprit too!! LOL!! Doreen loves dogs as much as I do, and we both have done our part in adopting fur babies who need loving homes. So, Doreen...if you're reading this...this one's for you! I love your giving and caring heart, and I can never thank you enough for being instrumental in giving us the chance for the unconditional love that only our Oliver and Lola can give! Thank you, thank you, my friend!!

This is so darn cute, Lorie! Isn't it great when you find a stamp that is so perfect!!! Love everything you do and this is no exception. He reminds me also of my friends' Yorkie.
