Tootsie

  Remember when I made that blue and yellow card for my friend with a sick dog? Here. 
Well poor little Tootsie passed on to another life on Sunday! Her fur sister, Kelli misses her so much. My friend and her family are devastated at the loss of their fine furry member of the family. I wanted to make something to go along with a challenge at H2H and a picture of Tootsie was exactly what I needed. I had surprised my friend a few years back by driving to her second home in Tennessee for her birthday. I took lots of pics that weekend and two of them just happened to be of Tootsie so I nabbed them from my external hard drive and off I went to edit her photos. Both pics were of Tootsie all by herself standing on her back legs looking out the screen door at me. Here's my little tribute to Tootsie, who blessed her family with almost nine wonderful years. She was a great little dog that loved to be held, jumped up on to any one's lap that sat in her chair, and loved to get into people food. She could open a package of chips, cookies, dog treats like no dog's business. Kelli loved it when Tootsie got into the food cuz Tootsie always shared with her sister. Tootsie always made sure when company came over to tell her Mom and Dad. She would bark and let them know that some one was here to pet HER! If she wanted a treat she would just let out a bark and the treat has handed out. Man, Kelli loved her! One bark, two treats. She will be missed. She no longer will jump up on the recliner and cuddle next to Dad and watch TV. Her Mom will miss the cookie times and loving times and taking her out times that they shared. Kelli will no longer have a playmate or someone to get her ill gotten treats, human or otherwise! We will all miss Tootsie. Goodbye, Tootsie.

I found the frame a few weeks ago at a local chain craft store. The easel back was broken and the price- 75 cents. Knew that I would/could use it for some ABAC challenge..never dreaming I would be putting Tootsie's picture in it. I adhered the paper to the front and then cut it out with a craft knife and placed the cutout over to the side to let the glue dry. When it came time to decorate the picture, there sat the cutout...perfect.

Isn't that the cutest, sweetest face ever!!!!The paper was down, the first layer of Modge Podge was drying and I called her "Mom". i needed some small pieces of info for her frame. Her collar color was pink and brown...perfect. That's Providence. She was born in July 2001 and was adopted as a pup from the SPCA.
Her name you know and her nicknames were ''Monkey Face'' and "Ewok".

Thanks for coming by!
