Footprints on Your Heart

As someone who went through a total of 21 years of school to become a veterinarian (and we won't even mention the student loan debt!), you can probably understand that I love animals. Even though my vet career is on indefinite hold while my 'mom career' proceeds, I still find ways to connect with all living things. One way is to have several furry and not so furry members in our household and another is to feature them as subjects on my cards.

Today's DRS blog posting also showcases these 'Pet Project' cards. The DRS sentiment Pet Sympathy Greetings is perfect for sending condolences to someone saying goodbye to an old friend:

Stamps by DRS Designs: Pet Sympathy Greeting , Dog Paw Easy Background , Square Silhouette Flowers Ribbon Slide. Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Versamark. Cardstock: Brocade Blue, Black, Textured Silver, GP110 white. Accessories: pet ribbon, silver EP.

And if only the top half of the sentiment is used, it's also perfect for those saying hello to a new pet. The inside panel would read 'Congratulations on your new kitten!':

Wouldn't it be easier to be as good as a cat thinks you are? Our cat made it to 19 1/2 years with us before giving up her ninth life, but I think if she could have figured out how to use a can opener, we would have been unnecessary. Guess that's why we have both dogs and cats -- dogs to build us up and cats to keep us humble!
