I wasn't going to do the challenge #66 over at CSI as the colours didn't appeal to me, but what did appeal to me was to do a layout of my little dog. Sometimes I think the trick is to just start and then your love of the story/subject you want to scrap takes over and before you know it you are lost in your page.

I am glad I did the challenge now, as I have the story of my beautiful little mate down
This is probably the best photo I have of Scruff, as being quite a highly strung little character, he is not a fan of getting his photo taken
I kept the negative of the hearts I punched out and put over the paw print stamp to signify his paw prints on our hearts
The journalling is on the take note tucked in the side and reads ~You came into our lives nearly 15 years ago and right away you had us wrapped around your little paw. You came when I was going through a tough time & you brightened my days. You have been by my side, you wag your tail and are so happy to see me, you give me comfort.
Now you are not well. You have little eye sight and you are deaf and your bones are old and sore. They think you have a tumour and you are even more clingy, just wanting to be near me for comfort. It is to sad to think you not being here, but I will give you all the comfort and love possible everyday. I will spoil you and every day I will look in those big brown eyes and tell you "You are the best dog ever, the best dog in the whole wide, world. My Scruffy, just a little person with fur, who leaves paw prints all over my heart every day.
Thanks for looking, hope you let me know you called.
It is a glorious Autumn day here today. I know I take this photo a lot, but I see it most days ( its where I work) and it always looks beautiful to me in different ways

The leaves are all turning golden and orange here at the moment

Hope you are enjoying your day
Love and Peace

Mary this is just gorgeous.... Love absolutely everything you have done here and your journaling truly touch my heart!
A very special little man :))
This almost made me cry - gorgeous journaling...they DO worm their way right into the middle of our hearts, don't they? And I really, really love the way you've designed this page with that great stamp!!!! And the little hearts & paws...great idea:):):) I'm glad you did the page, too:):)
Scruff looks super in that layout and your photos are awesome recently.

Oh Mary, such a heart felt page of your little mate. I know what it's like to have a furry companion for so long only to watch them deteriorate with no complaints from them. A lovely page & I like what you've done with the negative hearts. xx
What a sweet page. I love the entire composition dedicated to your doggy.
P/s: I know what it's like to watch your pet grow old....I lost my last dog in August 2012. He was 15.
Oh Mary..I am all choked up..that journalling is beautiful. And I love your page
