OOOOOoooooo it has been a hard week.
My brother & his family recently had to put their pet dog, Rousseau [RUSSO], 'down' due to a significant illness.
This remarkable dog has been with the family for 14 years.
He was literally 'one of the gang'.
Going on boatrides, snowmobile rides, visiting the neighbors in the city & at their cabin in the country.
If there EVER was the perfect pet, Rousseau was it.
My sister-in-law informed me that in 14 yrs they only heard Rousseau bark 3-4 times; and were in such shock when it happened, they swore it was another dog. lol
To commemorate him, I am putting together an 8X8 scrapbook for them.
I'm not sure what the layout for the scrapbook will be; what page number this will be, but rest assured I will show them as I compile them. This has a 'matching' page for the other side of the scrapbook, but will not be posted for a few more weeks! Sorry.
I got this amazing scrapbook sketch layout from Sketches in Thyme (see below) & can't wait to use more of their layouts.
Thanks for stopping by.
Remember to give your pet a big hug today!
