Great LO and what a great story. I'm going to have to do some journaling myself...one day - I always get a frozen brain or something whenever I try journaling, but then I read something like this and I get inspired! Thanks
Oh what a funny story! I love that you journaled it here and that this picture will always remind you (and now me!) of that moment! And I laughed out loud as you described yourself hoofing it after him, laughing, puffing and calling him at the same time! Silly boy! : - )
Oh, Maureen.....What a SWEET, SWEET, FUNNY story......I loved reading it. Beautiful colors and design.....I think it's great that you used a little swatch of his bandana!
Oh Maureen, you had me in stitches with your story!!! You sure know how to tell a story!!! Chester is simply adorable and I so love his bandanna and the way you attached a strip of it to your lo!! Sounds like this holiday of yours was a blast!! Your story reminds me of my Diesel who ran out of the driveway gate one morning as my husband left for work and I was terrified that a car might hit her as she is not streetwise at all. Well, out the gate I ran still wearing my pyjamas and slippers in peak hour traffic after the dog and she turned it into a game, ducking off into a different direction every time I got close to her!! I even lost my slippers in the process!!! LOL!
Now how adorable is our chester boy. What a riot. I'm still laughing. this is so cute. I love it and once again, it's so wonderful to have your stories back.
AAAHHH!!! Love this one!!! Its instinct--what can ya do?!! LOL!!! He's sooo super cute!!! I love how the paw print paper makes a sharp looking frame for your boy!! Genius to use the bandana piece!!!
Quite an adventure...he makes sure you get exercise!! LOL I love that you included a piece of his bandana...nice touch. You used such cute doggy papers on this LO. Great photo of Chester too. You shaded the pine tree very nice and the dog bone brads are so much fun~ xx
Oh, I love me some Chester too!!! So good to see that sweet mug again! Your story had me laughing out loud! Sure glad he came to his senses! Love this sweet page and how you included a piece of his kerchief. Lucky loved to wear those things! I thought it was because he liked to look good. My dog-expert-friend told me it was because when I tied around his neck, he thought he was carrying something...he had a job and that made him proud. Whatever. Give that handsome boy a hug from me, would ya??
Such a handsome boy (if I do say so myself)....love me some Chester boy!
He'd just been to the groomer a week before....was sporting his styling new "vacation" bandana (made by my Mom) and was very intently watching the family of deer nibbling on the bushes right outside the gate of the place we were staying at in Central Oregon last June. This time he just watched....not so much when we took him for a walk about an hour later and he caught sight of more Bambi's.
My sister and I were walking along chatting and not really paying attention, when suddenly I went flying and the leash was ripped out of my hand.....Chester was a blur o' fur as he tore down the path after the deer...Jana and I were trying to keep up....hard to give the command to "leave it" and breathe, while running and laughing at the same time. Chester just thought they were really huge dogs and he needed to check it out.
What seemed like 4-ever was really only a few seconds and he regained his senses and realized I was calling him....he stopped and swung around looking at me and panting...then he'd look back in the direction of the deer, then back at me, then to the deer. He took a couple leaps like he was going to take off again and I told him to drop and threw in a "don't even think about it, Mister!"
He stopped and we caught up to him and he was dog-tired :-) and looking for a drink. Quite the adventure for the boy! And for us...still makes me gasp for air, thinking of hoofing it after him like that.
I trimmed a little corner of his bandana and used a paw brad and the ribbon to place it on the page.
