Whiskers & Tales: Raleigh

Here's a new Whiskers and Tales story for you, this time featuring Raleigh, a chihuahua/rat terrier mix who is almost 3 years old, and according to his mom, Leah, the love of her life! -aside from her husband, Jake, I'm sure :)
When I contacted Leah about writing a little somethin' on Raleigh's portrait, she exclaimed that that very day she had featured something on her own blog, Splendor & Folly about the portrait! So here's what she had to say:

I decided that I wanted to surprise Jake with a portrait of Raleigh for his birthday. I looked around online and found Blue Giraffe Artworks – I instantly loved the style of the portraits. The artist’s name is Micah and once I submitted some info on the form on her website, she emailed me back right away and seemed super sweet.

Here is the picture I provided – one of my all time favorites – I love when dogs do the tilty-head thing as if they are really interested in what you are saying :)

And after some anticipation and waiting – here is the proof that Micah emailed to me. She allowed for me to make any changes before finalizing, but to me, it looked perfect!

I was so excited when it came in the mail – she takes so much care in wrapping it and providing care instructions and a cute little thank you note. I was even more excited for Jake to open it. We love our little guy so much and I’m very glad that we now have this artwork to cherish forever. 

Thanks so much, Leah! Raleigh will soon be featured on some handmade note cards, so stay tuned :)
EDIT:  Now YOU can find joy in Raleigh's face with these cute note cards, a set of 5 blank cards with matching envelopes for only $6.50! Click the picture to purchase in my Etsy shop.
