In the past week I've made and sent three dog sympathy cards and two cat sympathy cards. Sometimes I don't think that the emptiness of the loss of a beloved pet is always understood by non-pet owners.
This card is going to a person who had to put her two cats down in the same day. The kitties were father and son and both lived long lives but suffered from progressive and debilitating illnesses. They left this world curled together in the same position they so often slept and played together. So with this card we say, "Godspeed, Gabriel and Winston".
The inside sentiment reads, "Our animal friends teach us more than we could have expected and love us more than we could have hoped...
...that's why we miss them more than we could have imagined."
Very nice card, Jennifer. Have that same cat face and I've been known to cut out a heart shape around it. It's a bummer that you've had to send so many sympathy cards lately, but bet everyone appreciates your kind thoughts at such a rough time. Hope you get to stamp for some cheery occasions soon.
ReplyDeleteOh Jennifer you are the most thoughtful friend! What a beautiful card!

Oh Jennifer your friend will truly appreciate your thoughtfulness. The death of your pet is such a horrible thing to go through.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful ~
So sorry that your friends are having to deal with so much loss lately. It's a very sad thing to have to put down a pet. You are right that there is such pain around such tremendous loss. Your card is wonderful and will mean the world to your friend.
ReplyDeleteThis just brought tears to my eyes; it is just so sweet and loving. The loss of a pet is so hard. What a beautiful, beautiful sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI need to make a dog one today, and i think that the coloring on this is beautiful...
ReplyDeleteSympathy cards really mean so much, esp. even when they are for the fur baby members of the house...
I still have slick's card waiting for me to make an album for her.
Lovely card Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteSuch a thoughtful card to make for your friend, Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteOh, Jennifer, your card is gorgeous. It is unfortunate you have the many opportunities to create such masterpieces. Those eyes look so real, and the blending of colour on the face is over-the-top gorgeous. Perfect, just perfect.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine the sadness that the loss of 2 beloved pets in the same day would cause. I'm sure your card will ease the pain just a little.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. That is so sad about losing 2 cats in one day. I'm sure your card will bring some joy.
ReplyDeleteAre you okay, Jennifer? I miss you!

ReplyDeleteyour card is just gorgeous! I agree that many non-pet owners understand the loss when we lose our furry friends. I hope all is well at your end. Found some time to create and blog this week (Mom moving and brother moving in with us)...just wanted to say hello!
