Even after all this time, a year and a half later, I still miss this kid like crazy.  The day we had to say goodbye, I wrote down every memory, every nickname, every silly habit of his on my computer.  I didn’t want to forget a single one.  I thought to myself, after some time has passed, it’ll be easier to put these words on paper.  Yet here I sit 18 months later crying as I work on this layout anyway.

I must say Ali Edwards’ Pets collection hit the nail on the head with some of her sentiments.  Mr. Beer really was not only my friend, but a part of my family as well.  And I definitely had some stories of him to tell.  I know I can never replace him, but at least I can look back on these little stories and remember all the good times we had.

In addition to the digital stamps from the Pets kit, I also used the blue paisley card from Ali’s May digital release as a background.  I reduced the opacity by 50% to allow the words to show through more.  I hope this inspires you to capture the memories of your furkids, the sooner the better.  They definitely leave an impression on our hearts.
