  1. I guess every dog is special if you keep them in home. Labradoodle is one such dog breed that can be an incredible pet for you and your family. A fun-loving, enthusiastic, and extremely intelligent dog breed, Labradoodle can turn out to be a great pet.

  3. The kids are trying to talk us into getting a dog. My husband & I grew up with dogs and cats and we currently have a cat. Animals are like kids! Thanks for the opportunity.

  4. It’s hard to pick a favorite, we’ve loved them all tremendously. We are a Labrador Retriever family, when we lived on our farm I had to have at least one of each color. We’ve sinned moved from that house, and had 1 Lab left at that time. A year ago January, we lost our last boy Bear. My heart is still heavy missing him.

  5. Though I’ve been blessed with a few amazing dogs in my life, our current dog, Ashado, is truly the sweetest thing I’ve ever known. She was a shelter puppy, and, like two of our cats, is named after a racehorse. She is a 12-year-old Catahoula-Lab mix, and enhances our lives every day!

  6. Our family adopted a puppy when I was 12 years old and I named her Brandy – my parents would not let her sleep in my bed at night. She cried and whimpered to be with me. I made a spot for her to sleep in an open box next to my bed on the floor and I would dangle my arm down and pet her until she fell asleep. Loved her so much !!!

  7. Katie was a Griffin and Lab mix with such a sweet personality. Her expressions we’ll never forget. I’ll never forget that she tried to warn me something was wrong with my left breast by sniffing and resting her head on it whenever we sat out on the porch. That was about the only time I sat still. After my surgery and I came home and had a hospital bed. She laid beside that bed all night and checked on me anytime I made a move. My husband was her person of choice except when I was sick. We lost her her sixteen months ago. We’ve just become ready to get another dog. The new stamp set and punch would be great for cards and scrapbooking. I’m thankful to be able to do both again ?.

  10. My German Shepherd, Rainer. Smart and protective (when necessary), she was the sweetest, friendliest and most intuitive dog I ever had. Every time I would get sick, she would curl up with me and stay by my side. She’s been gone 2 years now, and I miss her every day.

  11. We’ve had many lovely dogs over the years, but the one who popped into my mind was a neighbor’s dog who befriended my husband and I when we were first married. He would always show up at our door, come in and hang around with us for a while and then head home. After I had our first baby, he would come over and spend time keeping me company and amusing the baby. His name was Asbury and he was a beagle mix. Dearest dog ever. Sadly he was hit by a car and killed and I was the unlucky one to find him. It broke our hearts. To honor his memory, we got our own first dog, a beagle named Muffin.

  12. I don’t own a dog but I lived with my sister for a time and she had a dog named Killer that was the sweetest collie mix anyone could ever have. I always said if I was to get a dog it would have to be just like her.

  13. We have had a number of buddies over the years who were very special to us but if we had to pick just one, probably the all-time very most special one was a Rottweiler named Marta.

  23. Picking my favorite dog is hard because I’ve had four dogs in my life and love them all, of course. But for contest purposes (haha) I’ll pick Pebbles! She was my first dog and my boyfriend at the time got her for me because I never had a dog growing up. The boyfriend became my husband and Pebbles moved with us three times. She even lived with a family friend for a time when our apartment changed rules about pets. I visited her weekly until we could move and got her back. She was with us through our two kids being born and lived to be 16. She was a shi tzu/poodle mix who started out dark brown with a black face and ended up light tan all over. She had soft wavy hair and was the cutest dog ever! Her looks were only surpassed by her brain. Pebbles was my best friend and true love and I’ll never forget her.

  24. Currently, my favorite dog is named Anna (Anastasia). She is an Australian Shepard mix and she rescued me from the animal shelter! She is a hoot! But, when I was growing up we had a Boxer named Dozer. She was the biggest sweetheart, but everyone was afraid of her because she had an underbite that made her canines come over her upper lip – she looked menacing, but wouldn’t hurt a fly (well – maybe a fly!)

Only drawback… she loved rolling in cow manure!

  38. Over the past 25 years I’ve adopted 6 mixed breed dogs from our local animal shelter. Their names are Jasmine, Lucy, Charley, Ginger, Manny and Starr. I really can’t choose a favorite because I’ve loved them all and miss the five who are no longer with me. Starr has been with me since Aug 2016, and we enjoy our time together.

  39. My wonderful pet’s name was “Molly”. She was a sweet, loving Coonhound Mix. She actually rescued us. My husband found her over 7 years ago, at the age of 2, staring at the pond by his work’s garden. Long story short, she became part of our family shortly thereafter and brought us so much love and joy for 7 years until, so unexpectedly, she fell ill and we had to put her down August 31st. She was the most beautiful girl! I believe she was mixed with German Shepard.

    If I were to win the bundle, I would love to create cards, tags, bags, etc., using the bundle and donate the items to our local pet shelter so that they could sell them to help support their wonderful mission.

  44. We raise Cocker Spaniels, my favorite dog I raised from birth was Copper, He loved my newborn son from day one. Copper was my sons protector, One evening my two year old son was playing out in the yard, It was one of those evenings where my husband thought I was watching him and I thought my husband was watching him. Suddenly I noticed my two year old was no where to be found, I was frantic looking for him, We found him across the street and down the block in the yard of an abandoned house, I realized that Copper was also missing and I proceeded to call the dog, He walked out to the street and alerted us as to where he was but he would not leave my sons side, he knew my little boy was somewhere he should not be and he was protecting him until we came to pick them both up. He will always be my favorite. Copper went blind at a very young age but that never slowed him down he would walk around with us all around our small town and he always knew his way home.
    He was a true “Lassie” dog and I miss him everyday.

  50. I just left a comment but I hadn’t read that I was supposed to tell you about our dogs. I was so excited to win this set I didn’t read the whole post. My son’s dog is a rescue mixed breed named Straight A’s because he is perfect. My daughter-in-law would take him to the library where she worked to be a reading buddy for kids. My daughter just adopted a retired racing Greyhound. His name is Puck from Midsummer’s Night Dream. Our family had a German Shorthair Pointer. Her name was Millie, just like George and Barbra Bush’s dog. We were heart broken when she died at age 11. Thanks again for the giveaway.

Then their was our first”child” Thorin, a stray from the pound that was a beagle-wired haired terrier mix. Then our beloved Jennifer, a sheepdog- black lab mix. Another unwanted dog. And now I have my sweetheart Emily Elizabeth, a dachshund- Jack Russell. Yet another stray who is probably the smartest dog we have ever had. So blessed they have been in my life!

  70. Bashful & Sunshine was a pair of puppies we got for our two sons many years ago. They were so cute and funny, we got them from my niece and I guess they were called sooners. The Vet said they had border collie in them. The sweetest picture just stays in my memory is when Bashful had a litter of 11 or so puppies, boy were we in shock. She had them and then moved them next door to our neighbors backyard under a car that my he had parked and when they got a little older moving around they would follow their mom across the yard to our house. It was a happy time until we had to find homes for them.

  71. We inherited our childhood dog, Sandy, from a friend who could not take care of her. She put up with so much! We would bandage her, and hug her (probably too hard!), but she tolerated it all.

Thank you for inviting those memories. 🙂

    Everyday, he amazes me somehow! He cracks me up, when he knows it’s mealtime…he will go to his bowl, and put his paw on the bowl, like telling me to hurry up, I’m hungry!
    I think he knows how to tell time too!

    The best dog we ever had was named “Dog” – so named by my husband who named him after John Wayne’s dog in the movie “Big Jake”. Our Dog was really special and very smart.

    Our current dog is a rescue named Sunshine. She is deaf and knows sign language. It has been a bit of a challenge to train her but we discovered that she’d had some sign language training in her previous life, so we’re now trying to learn what she already knows.

  94. Let me tell you about dog! On July I, 2018, I saw this dog running wild on a State Rt, road in front of my house. I opened my van door. He jumped onto my lap and laid his head on my shoulder. I was hooked but felt I needed to try to locate his owner. I posted his picture on FB and received a response from someone who knew this dog. Seems his owner did not want him anymore because he was getting too big for her apartment. So she “dumped” him. Turns out he is a Bernese Mountain Dog she had named Baxter (I had been calling him Buddy). He is one year old now and big and beautiful! My husband and I own a dairy farm and he loves running, swimming, playing, going to milkings and hugs. I love him so much! If I win this Stampin Up stamp set, I will use it to introduce Baxter to the world!

  96. When I was young my Mom took care of sn elderly lady. She had several dogs. There was a dog that she had named Blackie. For some reason, I just loved that dog and knew I wanted a dog just like him.
    Fast forward ahead to my 25th birthday. My husband and I went to the local animal shelter. In one of the pens there was a group of puppies. There was this little black puppy scared to death hovering in the corner.
    Needless to say, we walked out with a very sweet, but scared little black puppy.
    I had the name Otis already picked out. Well, Otis was actually a girl, but I just loved that name so she was stuck with a boy name.
    When I told my Mom she couldn’t believe I named her Otis. Otis was my first dog as a grown up. She lived for 15 years before she got sick. I ended up having to put her to sleep. It broke my heart. We also had a Boston Terrier that we got from a friend of my husband. They needed to find a home for her. She was the cutest little puppy. We named her Milo. Otis didn’t love Milo when we first brought her home, but she learned to tolerate her.
    Milo was with us for 12 years. I was heartbroken when I had to have her put to sleep, but she was very sick. It took me 2 years to get to the point where I was okay with getting another dog.
    My husband got Lizzie for me from the animal shelter for a Christmas present.
    She is 6 now and can’t imagine my life without her. It took me several days to name her. I wanted to name her Lucy, but a relative had a daughter named Lucy. I didn’t want to offend them by naming our dog Lucy.
    I finally decided to name her Lizzie.
    All 3 dogs have been such loyal companions. They each have a piece of my heart forever!

Of the 3 we have now I would say I’m partial to Katie ( mixed lab ) she’s about 10 years old and showing white /gray around her face. Our smallest dog Gypsy (mix cur) is definitely my husband favorite. Thank you for the chance to win SU “Happy Tails”, you are very generous. I can’t wait to see what you will be creating with this cute bundle. Say hello to Freddie for me. THANKS!

  102. I have two beautiful babies, a Maltese, Capo who will be 3 the end of February and little Bella, a Maltese/Poodle who turns 1 year old next week. They are my loves and live like a King and Queen, but before these two little ones came into our home there was Benji Girl, a Maltese/Poodle mix. She was abandoned by her previous owners. I remember watching her as she watched her owners drive away, purposely leaving her behind. She was broken and terrified. We lovingly took her in. Our Vet determined her to be approximately 7 years old at the time. It took love and patience for her to build trust in us, but within only a few weeks she was content in her home with us. My little girl passed away at 13 years of age, but the last years of her life was lived like a Queen. Benji Girl is still missed and forever loved.

We have a lot of memories with him, one of my favorites is seeing dad & Mister heading to the barns to feed then out to the paper box every morning. Dad loved him as much as we did, if not more.

Everyone knew Leo and when our little guy crossed to that rainbow bridge, well he took a part of our hearts with him.

  130. When I was young my father bought our family a German shepherd.. He was just a pup but with huge feet which is quickly grew into. 🙂 He was to be our guard dog when my father was away. He absolutely adored kids and would ride us on his back around the lawn. I would let him out the back door before school so he would follow the kids to school. He would sit outside my portable and howl…my teacher always made me take him home and what a great fun time we had. My parents never quite figured out how he always got out….or did they?? lol. His name was “Nipper” and I have never forgotten him. We eventually had to give him to a farm as we lived in Toronto and he needed more space to run free.

Our girls were still in college when we made the move and they begged us to leave Molly with them, saying it was too hot and Molly was too old to make the move. We left her with the oldest daughter, who lovingly kept her until she passed away at 13 1/2 years. I still tear up just thinking of her to this day. We were blessed with many years of companionship and unconditional love by this beautiful dog and I look forward to beginning a new relationship with another dog in the very near future. (My husband and I both just retired so we are now able to spend quality time with a pet)

They are all so very special in their own way and give so much more to me than I could ever give to them. My favorite doggie is Honeybun and she is as sweet as her name! She’s a golden, long hair chihuahua and is happy just to be by my side. She makes my day?

  205. Ours was a black cock-a-poo named Pepper. I think one of his parents was a standard poodle because he was on the larger side. He was with us for 17 years. He was “stuck to you like glue” type of dog. He also had a clock in his head…….he knew what time to go to the door & wait for the kids to get home from school. He was a great camper & we enjoyed his many years with us.

Both were absolutely wonderful dogs that I miss terribly, even though we currently have five dogs in our home!

We don’t know what else she is because someone dropped off her mom at the hippo pit at a zoo. Our neighbor’s daughter, who works at the zoo brought the mom home to care for her and help deliver her puppies. Our little dog was one of the puppies. The instant I saw her, I fell in love with her. She was so little and lively, there was no doubt what I would call her. Her name is Pixie.

  246. My favorite breed are Chihuahua’s, I love them. They are small and cute. We lost our girl Miley 2 years ago to a horrible attack by our neighbors dog. We did everything we could to save her, but the vet said even with surgery he didn’t guarantee that she would make it. So we made the decision to put her down, she has so much damage and she was suffering. We stayed in the room with her to say our goodbye’s. Oh Boy! we spilled our guts out to her. My son was the only one that just couldn’t do it, he was so attached to her. She was always waiting for him when he would come home from college, it was weird how she knew. I never thought that we all could cry so much like we did. So it took me awhile to even get another pet because of her loss. So a year later we adopted little Ace, he has similarities as our Miley, but boy he is a mess. But we got to love him the same as we did Miley, I am much closer to him. Sorry if I caused anyone tears.

The folks at the shelter told me they found her running around the streets, scared and alone. They brought her in, tried to treat her eye injury but nothing worked so they had to remove it. Having one eye has not slowed her down one bit. When I first got her I was struggling with a good name for her and then it hit me like a ton of bricks…the song! That Lyle Lovett song called “One Eyed Fiona” he wrote about a barmaid in Boston with only one eye. Perfect!! Fiona has so much personality, everywhere we go people want to talk to her, touch her, and of course ask about her missing eye. She is the best 3 pounds that ever walked into my life.

We had an English Springer Spaniel/lab mix named George Sydney Clyde but his nick name was Bubba. We got him when we lived in Texas and he was one laid back Texan dog. Then, when he died of liver cancer at age 10 we got Murphy Mitchell McQuire a huge lab mix of Great Dane maybe and something else. He loved moving to Iowa. He had terrible allergies to so many things and had lupus. He is the one who had his own ice cream lady at a local ice cream place here. Then, we got a small basset who came with the name of Henry. He was very ornery and died at age 6 of a brain tumor. Now, we have TED (Tactical Explosive Device) who is a large basset and my big baby aged 4 1/2 now. He is the Fella around Pella. Loves visiting the Central College students, who all call him Teddy as welll as all the visitors up town. Now, how could I pick a favorite one out of all these?

He grew up with two giant schnauzers that would sit outside our door and wait for him to come out. They would swim and play together for hours each day. He was the love of our lives and after the hurricane that hit our Puna community in 2014 his heart gave out. We were gifted with him for 7 years and a lifetime of wonderful memories.

  296. My favorite dog, and I have had many, was little Chi-Chi, a pet shop Shih Tzu. It was a “spur of the moment” purchase for my new husband and me because she reminded me of the dog of my childhood. The dearest thing about Chich was her desire to please which was so heartbreakingly evident later with the treatments and procedures she had to endure for a staph infection until a specialist diagnosed her with an incurable blood disease. My last memory of her is her looking back, trying to come to me as the vet took her away to be euthanized. I, of course, was sobbing, and, knowing her, she wanted to comfort me. At that time, I didn’t know I could have held her at the end, I could have brought her home for burial, etc. She was only 18 months old and even though it was years and dogs ago, to this day it is my regret. Her faithfulness and patient spirit make her my favorite.

  305. My husband and I rescued 2 pups, Rose & Winston.They were about 8 weeks old. At first the pups slept in the kitchen. Once they learned to escape, all bets were off. We’d wake up to a family room filled with the insides of the couch spread thru out. It looked like snow, and Rose was in the middle of all the stuffing. Today I can laugh, Back then I was rushing around to feed my kid and get to work. The stuffing waited til I got home.

  306. TACO was, you guessed it, a chihuahua. She was the best dog ever! Taco grew up with a hunting breed so she never knew she was supposed to be yappy and exude “attitude.” Instead, she was steady, calmly protective and adoring. She took care of me for 18 precious years and I still miss her sweet ways.

  307. His name was Button. Actually he was a registered Toy Manchester and his full name was “Symphony’s Black Button”. He came to us when I was around 10 yrs old and stayed until long after I married. He let me dress him in doll clothes, sat at the feet of my to be husband and passed gas, went looking for a mate one night and even my then new husband scoured the neighborhood for him. He came home a day or so later, tuckered out. So, so many wonderful memories of that sweet boy.

  312. Hi Mary, it’s Sandra. I do not know the name of my favorite dog-I was waiting at the hospital for discharge from a test I had just taken, an IV had been put in, hospital procedure; and it looked like I had a bandaged wound to a therapy dog that walked over to me, and immediately began to lick my “wound”. She was trying to make it better. She was a “Golden” something. The love and compassion in that act of kindness touched my heart deeply. (I have too many allergies to have a pet of my own 🙁 !!) I do not need this set, but thanks for listening!

  317. My heart is with animals of all kinds! I had pets growing up but always wanted more. I was told as soon as I had my own house I could have as many as I wanted! That turned into having three Shih Tzu’s at one time. Sadie Bug, Mika Bean, and Liberty Belle. When I lost Libby, it wasn’t long before I had a trio again and Wikket John joined my family. Then losing Sadie and Moka, I rescued Ezra Hobbes. The boys are great companions! As heartbreaking as it is losing a pet (or the need to make a card for such instance) this set works well for the dog lovers!

    Thanks for sharing your creativity.
    My favorite name for a dog would have to be Heidi. She is a little rescue ” Mountain Feist” that came to our cabin about 13 years ago. We had been out for the day and when we returned home, she was guarding the deck and was not going to let us enter. We cleaned her up and she stayed the weekend. She decided to stay with us and jumped into the truck on Sunday as we departed and has been bringing joy and entertainment to our lives since. So Heidi it is, though we have had Spot, Rock, Ben, George and others that we have loved in the past.

We always shared our ice cream cones with her. Prince, on the other hand, was very vicious and we were scared of him. Rex was a puppy when my grandfather got him and he was my youngest brother’s favorite dog. We finally got a dog. She was a German Shepherd and my brother promptly named her Rex even though she was a female.

  415. I have Three Cockapoos, Augustus who is 14 and three years ago lost both of his eyes because of severe attacks of glaucoma and is deaf. He is the most amazing and sweet dog the way he has adapted. His brother Korky has severe allergies which he gets monthly shots for and he has diabetes and cataracts. Both those dogs were rescued from puppy mill. My third dog Cowboy was my Grandsons dog which we “ inherited 9 years ago”. He has epilepsy. They are a challenge but I wouldn’t change a thing with all the joy they give my husband and me. They are all gifts from God.

Currently we have Izzy (Isabella) who is half Australian Cattle dog and half Australian Kelpie. She had been abused but now is a happy, confident dog. The most special thing about her is that from Day 1 she bonded immediately with our 7 yo granddaughter who has Type 1 Diabetes. Izzy waits for her at the gate every day after school, jumping for joy when she sees her. Izzy sleeps on Gabrielle’s bed with her at night. They are inseparable and it brings us great joy.

(No lease laws. No one walked their dog either). Great freedom for dogs back then. He waited for us to get off to school then he took off to unknown parts of our town. Returned after we got home from school. We called him,

    But the one who touched my heart first was Bogart, a stray Springer Spaniel in the sub-zero dead of the Minnesota winter. Tracked him and tried to entice him with food for 3 weeks before he finally found the courage to approach a left-over warm fish meal that I had in my car after delivering my route of meals-on-wheels. I opened the car door, put the meal on the ground and sat quietly as he devoured the food. Grabbed his tagless collar and brought him inside. He was frost-bitten, starving, and so, so scared. He grew to trust us and became a shadow to my husband for the rest of their lives.

My Dad named him Varmint and he’d always go up the road and use the neighbor’s high trees to do his “daily constitution” at. I guess he wanted privacy ?. Never had to clean up any “dog logs” in our yard, because of Varmint’s choice of “outhouse” location. Today, I have a loyal chocolate lab named Chubs. I didn’t name him, he came with the name because he was the largest pup in the litter. ???

    He is also a lover. He loves our two cats and plays with the out going one.

    He looks scary because of his color and size but is really a big baby. When we had a thunderstorm over our home, he ran across the living room and jumped into my lap before I knew what was happening. Max is the best dog ever.

    The people working at our Vet’s office love Max to pieces too. When we have had to board him because of a trip, they let him walk around freely so he could keep them company which made Max happy too. We have the best Vet ever.

    Even our mailman and UPS man love Max. They always tell me that he is the best dog on their routes. 🙂

He loves all people and almost all dogs. He is a well behaved dog who minds well EXCEPT if there is a squirrel or o’possum in the back yard – then his hunting senses kick in. If you come to our door, he cries to say hello and we cannot break him from jumping up —he just wants to get acquainte!!

  527. Thank you so much for your generosity in giving away this delightful stamp set!

    I’ve been blessed with 3 dogs in my life: As a child there was Midnight – a Toy Manchester/Terrier mix; Then a few years after marriage there was Sasha – a sable and white AKC Standard Collie; About 6 months after Sasha died, Tasha – a black and white Standard Collie blessed our home and family. They all remain in my heart, but Tasha was the brightest, funniest, happiest and last of the three. We still miss her 14 years later. Amazing how those lovely little critters can steal your heart…

  529. When I was growing up we always had dogs as part of our family. The first one I remember we named Zero, I really do not why. When Zero crossed the rainbow bridge we had to get another a dog and yes we named him One. The last dog of my childhood was born on St. Patrick’s day so of course we named him Shamrock. Shamrock was truly at the neighborhood pet. He even had his own desk at the local elementary school and earned a report card.

  558. We have a Bulldog. Her name is Khiya. Her name stands for “home” in one of the native languages of South Africa. Its “ekhaya” but I changed it a bit. Her name couldn’t have been more fitting as she was finally home. We had her flown from Ohio (cost a fortune) but the BEST thing we ever did. She is so good with our two small kids. She is the BEST and we LOVE her so much. My children have to know where she is at all times. It’s so cute.

  569. My favorite was Tasha. She was an all black welsh corgi. We got her as a rescued puppy when our youngest daughter was 5. They were best buds until we had to put her down 18 years later. She loved car rides so if she wasn’t going you had to keep your keys very quiet as you walked out the door to avoid the sad face?. Sometimes if you had the car door open to load things we would find her already sitting in the seat — don’t forget me! She was a sweet heart!

He had a jar of grasshoppers that he dropped in the house and we had grasshoppers everywhere…then we got Bluff. Today Mojo is our Shitzu who has me around his little finger. We got him for our sons 12 years ago. Now he is my crafting partner.
