Growing in Unity 2024 - Day 3

I am having so much fun as this week's Growing in Unity gal. It's giving me a reason to use some of my beloved Unity stamps - and if you've been here the past two days, you know that I'm choosing stamps that remind me of my daughter Brittney.

If I were to guess - and I guess I am guessing - I'd say today's card would be Brittney's favorite of my week. Why? Because it has a dog on it.

Brittney always wanted a dog, but her dad and I just didn't think that a pet of any kind was a good fit for our lifestyle, so we were the "bad parents" who refused to let her have one.

When she moved to the bush of Alaska, she quickly discovered that there were a lot of dogs in the village. That made her happy. She always carried dog treats with her so she could feed her little four-legged friends a treat. 

It wasn't long until she adopted Hagrid and later added Ruth to her family, too. She sure loves them!

Hagrid and Ruth are both bigger than the dog in the sweet image, but I still think of Brittney when I see Unity's A Girl and Her Friend stamp set. The sentiment is from Unity's Shari Girl stamp set.

I added some splatters of ink to the sentiment piece to give it a different look, but in hindsight I wish I hadn't done that. It sort of just looks dirty to me. Oh well.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
