cheers!

A big thank you with
and even bigger thank you tag!


Since hubby started his new job,
and is no longer around to take
the girlie dogs on their afternoon
walk, we have started them with
a dog walker once a day.

Our usual fab dog walker
was going to be on holiday but her
friend would be able to fill in for her.

Then at weekend Miss Bella Boo
sliced a huge chunk of her pad off
on her back paw, cutting into an artery
and was a very poorly girl.

I did manage to swap shifts and days off
so that I was at home with her for the first week
but the following week, our relief dog walk
did us a huge favour!

Bella spent the day at her house,
including the morning sitting outside
a cafe, enjoying the fuss of everyone
as they came for coffee!!

So as a thank you,
a bottle of her favorite tipple
and a tag to decorate it!



The tag is huge, honest!
Its not just a tag and
a miniature of gin!

Base stamping is a pale brown
of memento ink, then darker brown
butterflies and some copper heat
embossed butterflies to finish.


The poorly pup,
who is now well on the mend!
Resting her leg on the first evening.


It's the sad wee face and big brown eyes
that get me every time!


Taking it easy.....


Now down to a smaller bandage,
but a nightmare keeping it clean and dry
in this awful weather.


The vets dress it twice a week,
I dress it usually twice in between
due to the dressing getting soaked,
muddy,
or just plain falling off!

We have now got five different doggy boots,
none of which fit properly
after the padding of the vets dressings!
So an empty IV bag does the trick!

Hope you are grand
Love Teen xx

Oh poor Bella Boo - I'm glad she's well on the mend.
That tag looks awesome - I'm sure your dog walker is going to appreciate that gift.
Love, Andrea xx

Poor Bella Boo, I bet Poppy's glad it didn't happen to her! I dread something like that happening to one of my boys. No doubt the one who wasn't hurt wouldn't be able to leave the other one alone!

Loving that tag, it's gorgeous. I think your dog walker will be very happy.

I made some Apricot and raisin chutney yesterday from my Rayburn book.I'm sure my house still smells of chutney!!

Your tag is fab Teen! Poor Bella does look sorry for herself and rightly so! Hope she continues to improve - bless! xx
