cat and dog portrait

[Trout]

my weekend project..
a cat and dog portrait that we'll be giving the Vet clinic to show our appreciation for the great care they gave our Rowdy dog when he ate a pine cone...



the pattern is by Janette Square and can be found in the 2012 spring issue of SSW&C...

Those turned out beautiful Trout!! They are on my to do list. What woods did you use for yours? Thanks for sharing!

[Trout]

hey Cathy, as for the woods, I used mahogany and maple for the cat and black walnut for the puppy....

I have to say this pattern came out right at the perfect time!
the day after Christmas our 1 year old dog started getting sick and stopped eating, after 2 visits to the vet they determined that he eat something that he couldn't pass so they had to open him up to get what ever it was out. he got to the point where we almost lost him....

they couldn't figure out what it was so I brought it home and cut it in half with my scroll saw and come to find out it was a pine cone.....

$3,000 later he's back to his Rowdy self!!

he gets the stitches out on the 18th and that's when I'll be giving the clinic the portraits. they look great the way they are so I'm not going to frame them..

thanks for looking

I followed the story on facebook. He was one sick puppy!! Poor Rowdy!! Give him a pet from him!

[Catlyn]

Poor baby! Give Rowdy a big hug from me!
I hope he has learned his lesson and will stay away from inedibles from now on.

[Janette]

Those turned out great! Glad you enjoyed making them. I hope to see more versions soon! Nice wood choices too.

Rowdy got his stitches out today and the Vet clinic was thrilled with the portraits....

yesterday was our first day of obedience training and Rowdy was teaching me the proper way to give treats....
