A little update on Marvin... He's now 7 months old and getting quite a big boy! He doesn't really look like a puppy any more, but obviously he still is. Sometimes he is as good as gold, but can be a bit of a juvenile delinquent when the mood takes him!- he still has his klepto tendencies- anything belonging to me is fair game in his eyes! He loves to chew and tear although his adult gnashers are all through now- gleaming white, big and strong- fortunately he's stopped trying them out on people !!! Many of his toys have had major surgery- missing ears, tails and limbs are the norm.... some are sadly deceased. He doesn't chew furniture though and he hasn't eaten any walls, doors or skirting boards as a couple of our Danes were wont to do at his age, so there's hope for him yet. He's really friendly, full of fun and has boundless energy, loves to play fetch and romp with other dogs, it gives me great pleasure watching him run joyously across a field or through the woods. I'm looking forward to taking him on holiday with us next month and watching him play on the beach- he loves the water...any water!
Thanks for visiting today, enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned- although it looks as if we're in for a bit of a wet one in the UK ...

ReplyDeleteA fabulous layout with beautiful papers and a brilliant image.Marvin looks so grown up,bet he's loads of fun.
ReplyDeleteOooh Cris, what a beauty.
ReplyDeleteLove the digi wich you cloured awesome, great paperchoice.
My god, Marvin is a big boy already and he looks so nice.
Beautiful colours, very nicely designed and gorgeous creativity.
ReplyDeleteMarvin is a replica of Bella only bigger [and older] and he seems like our girl....she has stopped all her bad traits and is turning into a lovely girl. Our only issue is she won't leave me alone for a second, she is my shadow and cries and nudges me for my attention, which is annoying...but oh well the are babies... need to get another photo too...Marvin is gorgeous/ xx
Oh my goodness...how do resist that face, what a handsome chap. My daughter has a 9 month cockapoo and would no doubt be completely in agreement with you about the juvenile delinquent behaviour!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, what an absolutely gorgeous card, fabulous image and great colour scheme
Thank you so much for joining us at Passion for Markers
a lovely sketch to frame your beautiful little girl, Marvin looks great fun and he will love the beach xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Chris, I think I have this image on file but could a lost one on my old pc.
ReplyDeleteMarvin is such a beauty, I laughed reading about him he sounds such a character, bless him, oh like your garden too.xxx
Hi Chris what a gorgeous card love the image and the sketch also loving that spotty ribbon, most of all I love your update and pictures of Marvin he is looking so good and so very handsome he sounds the same as my Jess with the toys I have bought so called indestructible ones but she has torn it to pieces she tends to de-stuff them lol, I must say again Marvin is looking really good.

Love your design and that sweet image Chris, gorgeous sky and spotty bow, and look at Marvin..he is beautiful. glad the chewing is getting under control, we gave our Harry an old work boot, told him this is yours and nothing else, he understood and ate the whole thing over a period of time and left only a piece of the rubber heal and the steel toe cap, the rest was gone..
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx
