*in memory of Henry*

A few weeks ago, my sister lost her beloved black lab, Henry, to cancer. She rescued him, helped him get well, and took him into her home and into her heart. He was like one of the family. He was the sweetest dog, and we all miss him very much. I made her this card to let her know we share her sadness.

On a happier note, it's a snow day here. We're in the middle of a big blizzard that's hitting the midwest, and I'm content to stay home where it's warm and cozy. I was out scooping off the driveway this morning, when my neighbor from around the corner shows up with his heavy duty snow blower and insists on finishing it for me. How sweet was that! Looks like I've got another card to make!

Sorry to hear about your sister's pup. He looks so much like my dog - they could be brothers practically! Hugs!

Yay for happy neighbor, but sorry to hear about the puppy :( My dog passed away a few years ago from cancer too. I miss her so much it kills me. I would have loved the beautiful card you made, that is such a thoughtful gesture!

We lost 2 white boxers this year, one from cancer and one from a heart condition ~ we miss them very much. I'm sure your sister appreciated the beautiful card you made!
