Padfoot, Poop and Good Neighbours

This is my dog, Padfoot. I love him. He's pretty great... most of the time.




Padfoot has this shtick where he thoroughly embarrasses me. While I chat to our lovely neighbours, he completely ignores the two pooable acres he calls his own, and makes a deposit on their greenery. It's horrifying. Mortifying!

Last week my poor neighbour was showing us the amazing work they had done in their back garden, and that stinker of a dog promptly squatted and did his business right there. I felt like giving him the
Cersei Lannister "shame! shame!" walk all the way back home.

A peace offering was in order.

"Raining Cats and Dogs" from Graphic 45 seemed like a pretty perfect choice. And on the inside....

  4. You dog can poop on my lawn anytime, mine do! lol Can you make something else with Raining C & D's papers? I have it and wanted to make a few mini albums for my guys, but my brain is not working for inspiration! Love the card and the peace offering. However, I am sure your neighbours are totally understanding.

  5. Oh Padfoot. . . how do pets know? They must be in cahoots with several of the mischievous sprites at the Hill, don't you think? I can hear them whispering to Padfoot now. . . "Ohhh doggggggie, sweet dogggggie, that's quite enough fertilizer in the pasture. . . won't you help the neighbor's gardens grow!" :)

  7. Great card!!!! Love the images, and a great idea! Our old neighbours used to purposefully send their dog over to poop on our front lawn - but we were all good friends - and their dog was a chihuahua, so his poops were peanuts (let's ignore the fact he was evil and hated us...). I would threaten then to send my dog over to poop on their lawn - and his poops were about the entire size of their chihuahua.
