Reich----------

Last year in July I moved, got married and started a huge part of my life. Sadly I had to leave my German Shepherd dog that I have raised for the past 10 years behind.  He is not missing out on a lot as my mother and father loves, spoils and treats him like a king, but I am missing him so much!  At first I missed Reich so much I could not function, then over time it was a heart ache that never went away.  I love that dog of mine and the challenge that Lasting Memories has issued gave me a chance to express that.  (crying so hard right now).  I think when you leave a pet behind and visit often it keeps the pain of "loosing" them fresh. Each time I visit Reich I see him and want to take him home and have that heart break all over. This gave me the inspiration to journal page. 

ok, sniffle, lets get to the page I made.  I did not use the layout as I really really wanted to showcase a lot of the photos that I have taken over the past 10 years--My favorites.   Some of the photos are 10 years old so they show wear, but that is wear of love LOL



  A close up of some of the page.  SORRY its on my floor but my desk is disgusting and completly covered with another project.




I skipped a page in my journal and missed the other links required to join 2 more challenges.  Delightful Challenges asked for someone special.  I gave them the most special someone to me right now (Errmmmm except for my husband, daddy, mummy, sister....oh ok you get it some"thing"!)

And anything goes over at the poodles parlour and as I would love a chance to win a few digi garden stamps I am so entering my page!

  13. Hi CarlyJo ,
    Oh My Goodness that is such a Handsome German Shepherd!!!My Mum used to show German Shepherds, such a fabulous and amazing breed. Its truly heart wrenching having to give a pet up, I had to leave my little rescue border collie x pointer Beth with my Mum when I moved into my flat. Hard seeing them every time you go visit your parents I know but time will heal the heart ache and at least you know hes in a good home. This is such a beautiful tribute to Reich, and the love certainly shows in this layout of him. Thank You so much for sharing this beautiful layout at Poodles Parlour and Good Luck. Hope to see you joining us again.
    Hugs Jacqui xxx

  15. Hi CarlyJo. Wow, sounds like you had a whole bunch of new starts last yr. So sorry you had to leave your boy behind. It's not easy, but you're so lucky to have had someone to take him and family at that. Sounds like he is just as well loved as he was when he was with you. He's absolutely gorgeous. It's so nice that you can still see him, although I can see how that would be hard at the same time. Thanks so much for joining us at Lasting Memories, you did an amazing layout!!
