I have 2 dogs. They're both Golden Retrievers, but they're both completely different. One is very active, wants to go on walks all the time, and one isn't. This is the one who isn't.
His name is Stormy, and we named him that because our first dog is named Sunny, and well being creative thinkers, and the fact it was raining when we got him, the name fit. The reason we bought them, was because I was in extreme pain, grieving the loss of our beloved black lab Toby. He was with us for 11 years, and was part of our family as our kids were growing up. I missed him so much, and the best thing I did was quickly get a puppy. It really did help.
Pets are such a huge part of our lives, and provide unconditional love, and loads of joy. Sometimes when I've had a crummy day, I just give my puppy a giant hug, and his softness and warmth makes me feel much better. He never judges me either, he just wags his tail, and I feel that things will be OK.
So I wanted to create a special keepsake for our furry friends.
On to the giveaway! It's for a custom soldered silhouette of your pet! Complete with name and date. Just leave me a comment here about your pet, and what makes him or her so special to you, then I'll put your name in the hat. Oh, and if you sign up to follow this blog or Facebook, I'll put your name in again.
And if you win, all I need is a profile picture of your pet. I know, easier said than done, but what helps is to offer them a cookie or something and get them to stand still for a split second. I had my son help me, and also took this with a tripod, because I'm too shaky from all the coffee I drink.Here's Stormy posing with his ornament. What a dog! Just looking at that cute face in this photo makes me want to give him a big kiss!
Have a great week, and I hope you win!
Take care,
Martha
