Free Range Dogs for the ScrapFriends Color Challenge

One of the most enjoyable parts of Peru was the wide variety of canine friends hanging out. They were on street corners, laying soaking up the sun in the middle of the square, on doggie missions wandering down cobblestone streets...and looked well fed, taken care of, and happy!

When we questioned our Peruvian Girl Guide, Karina said they were like community dogs not street dogs.

Meaning that they go home at night to dog dishes and beds, but hangout during the day doing dog like things.

Now, this concept was difficult for us people from the States.

We have leash laws, pooper scooper laws, biting laws, rabies laws, have to license our dogs with the USDA laws, etc.

We don't have free range anything. The same principle applied to goats and pigs. They normally were hanging out where goats and pigs like to hang out.

Now, don't get me wrong I'd be slightly annoyed if Joe's Oxen were free range and standing in the middle of my flowerbeds. However, he has the nicest dog who is totally OK to wander over here for some head scratching!

So, in a quest to document the cultural differences I made a page! And to help me along, used the cool color challenge over at ScrapFriends.

The great part of a color challenge is digging through your stash. Had forgotten about this pretty spotted black flower and the cream color one I had made ages ago that also worked!

Loved inking up this little heart I found, inking up my white sparkle letters, and also adding some black misting with some pearls.

Happy Thursday, you know what tomorrow is...that fabulous day right before the weekend!

Oh and PS. Lizzy Hill if you think I took that photo 'cause the dog looked like Wally you'd be right. Is it possible he used his super dog powers to visit South America while you were sleeping?
