For My Friend

Her dog died suddenly, with no apparent warning that anything was wrong. I know what a hole in the heart those little furry critters leave when they pass. And it keeps hurting for a long time, too....every time you come home and they aren't waiting by the door, tail-waggingly ecstatic to see you.
For some reason, I never can get my husband to greet me that way.

  2. Sweet card! Our little dog waits for my hubby to walk in every day - she heads for the door as soon as she hears his car coming down the street! I can tell it makes his day :) Don't even want to think about the day she can't do that anymore...
    TFS this pretty and heartfelt card (hug in an envelope).
