Harley "love"



Meet Harley
Some of you may remember that in an afternoon of insanity about a year ago,
we drove fifty miles to "look" at a puppy.
We have been his captives ever since, along with his collection of ten stuffed animals.
Each of his animals has a simple name and he knows them all
and can retrieve the appropriate toy when asked.

I have been enjoying Joanne Sharpe's Letter Love 101 class and decided to visually record
the lives of his toys.
Hope your enjoy!  Happy PPF

Your Harley is adorable. And I like how you've used Joanne's class to create the journal pages about him.

We, too, have a Harley but he's a black and white cat.

Your journal pages are super, Susan. Great idea to illustrate the toys and what an intelligent puppy! Funny you should show this at this time. Just this week I ran across Mitzi's stuffed monkey. I thought I had given or thrown away everything after she died several years ago. I am saving Monkey since it brought back such sweet memories.

What a smart pup Harley is! I love the addition of the words to your drawings. So creative!

My mom has a little dachshund who has many toys. She chews them all up like Harley, except for one that is a miniature version of herself that she will not destroy. I call it her "baby" lol.

OH Harley is adorable. I have a friend with a lab/shepherd mix name of Harley. Cute name. Love his toys. Our dog Annie has a bucket of toys and she likes to pick and choose a couple toys a day even at almost eight. HPPF.

Your journal pages with the well-loved monkey and fox are so cute - they definitely tell a story! All my children have some of those well-loved versions as well, and yes,some of them chewed them as well!
