Mine Shadowbox

Here I am admiring mineself. I thinks this am the neatest picture that Momma taked of me in a while! And look! I see mine paw things! Them am in that white shtuff that Momma stuck my tootsies in a while back! Now she has them forever :) Momma says that I was too close to mine own picture and that being that close could make my eye things cross and stay that way. Methinks she's a big liar though! I sees her on the computer sometimes and she am all way close to it and her eye things haven't crossed yet! Well, 'cept for when it's like wicked late at night and she should be in bed!! Tee-Hee!

This shadowbox that Momma gotted for me was all way fun to make. She gotted it at PetSmart (mine favorite store!), and I was there to help her pick it out :) She readed all the instructions and tolded me that I wouldn't get my tootsies all dirty with goopy white shtuff and that it wouldn't hurt me or make my tummy sick if I licked my toe things. That's why I said it was OK to get.

The white shtuff am not plaster...but some kind of funny fluffy stuff that you have to mush in your hands and then roll out on the table where you're not allowed to sit and watch the birdies a'cause it's where the beans eat their dinners. Then, your bean will take your paws and make them all way clean (make sure to run out into the hall where it am all way dirty on the floor and chase some moths right after they make your toes wet!). After getting them cleaned again, you have to be all still and let your bean mush your tootsies down into the white shtuff. It took us a few times a'cause I didn't like the way they turned out so Momma hadded to mush the white shtuff up again and start all over. I even went into the hall and found some moths (hee-hee!) Once you've got the pawprint you like, you have to let it air dry for like a million days...then your bean can put the whole box together!

Mine Momma likes to make pictures and stickers look all way fancy...something she calls "scrapping" so she hadded mine pawprints and mine name spelled out in stickers and with the extra room, she put a sticker of a poodin that looks like me when I play with her! Isn't it neat? There's a little mouse, a fishbone, a ball of yarn and "me" on a pillow! You should totally have your bean go get this for you so that they can have a nice pawtrait of you in their home forever and ever :) Knows what? There was extra white shtuff left over so Momma maked one extra pawprint and shaped it to look like a Chrissymus ornament! She keeps it in the kitchen and smiles whenever she looks at it :)
