Happy New Year!

2011 Christmas Paw Print Ornaments
As we have recently added a pug rescue dog to our household one of our gifts for Christmas was this fun paw prints ornament kit.  The instructions were simple so we opened up the pack of impression material and rolled it out as stated in the directions.  Next, we got the dog's paw ready to put into the impression material. We were totally unprepared for his reaction as he doesn't mind walking in mud or water but when we put his paw down on the material he quickly pulled it back and tried to get away!  If he could have said "Ew!" he would have.  It took us five tries to get a decent impression - which was the extent of his patience for this project. 

We still had some impression material left over so we thought we had better include the cat as she has been feeling a bit put out by this new dog we brought into her house.  After our incident with Buck we were not sure how she was going to react.  To my surprise she really didn't mind it (although I decided we should go with her first paw impression) so although it is not a purr-fect imprint it does belong to Boots and that's all that really matters, well that and the wonderful memories we will have of making their paw print ornaments.

After an exhausting craft activity both Buck and Boots thought they needed a rest.  Of course separately as they have not gotten to be friends yet.  We are still working on it though.

All tuckered out - crafting is hard work!
