Default "The Ghost of Christmas Past"

This is our Christmas card.

Previous years, our cards were based on our two pets and had them on the cover. This year, Rosie (our Golden Retriever) passed away, but I still included her this year. Rosie was a really friendly dog and this just shows that even as a ghost, she's still not scary.

The inside of the card read, "Wishing you a Merry Christmas Present!"

On the back of the card, I printed a black and white photo of Rosie with her name and the years 1998 - 2008

Perfectly in character with Rosie as we have known her in past Christmas cards.

Thanks for sharing her memory and your wonderful drawing style with us.

RIP Rosie. Great card, Bob.

Coincidentally, we had to have our cat put down a week ago. She was 17 and was nicknamed "The Mook", which some of you may remember from the old WebXealot prize drawing fictions.

I have been working on a story called Underground Cats that explores life underground featuring The Mook and our other two underground cats. I'm up to about 12 pages.

I plan on giving it to Mary as a surprise at Christmas.
