Gus Yappy Birthday

I had meant to get this card done quite sometime ago for the SSW2 Sketch Challenge, but obviously I didn't finish it in time. It was Gus's 2nd birthday in May and I haven't seen my Grandpup until this past weekend. I found this wonderful Whimsy stamp, West Highland Terrier.  Gus is a Teddybear, but they look similar. I cannot display the pictures that I would love to where my daughter, who is a teacher, takes him to school with her. He is excellent with the children. She has him certified as a therapy dog and he does help calm some of her kids with special needs. This is a write up that I found on-line about the breed.
 These energetic and lively dogs are excellent companions, and generally of a much more pleasant disposition than other dogs of similar size. Teddies are obtained by intentional crossing, specifically of a Shih Tzu with a Bichon or Bichon-Poodle mix, not just any two small breeds. They are fast gaining popularity as "designer dogs".
