My dog stepping stone business began in April of 2009 because of a request from a very dear friend, Mollie Swope.  Mollie asked if I would donate some of my mosaic stepping stones to WAIF (Whidbey Animal Improvement Foundation) for their annual fundraising auction.  WAIF is our local animal shelter here on Whidbey Island and I was glad to help. 

While I have been making colorful generic stepping stones for the last ten years, I had never made "DOG" stepping stones but thought I would give it a try.  I had such a great time making them I didn't want to stop! 

So thank you, thank you, thank you my dear friend, Mollie for making this all happen.  You are a blessing in my life.

Looking out my window at all the thirsty hummingbirds.

An eagle landed on this driftwood pole at the beach and I couldn't resist taking a picture!

The view from our deck .. I am so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

Watching a ship pass by our deck.  That's "Hat Island" directly in front of us.

One of the cutest dogs in the entire world and she's all mine!  I love my Josie girl.  She's a Humane Society special and we got her when she was just a pup.  Now she's 113 pounds of pup (and it's time for a diet)!

Chena loves her new kitten!  She is so gentle with her.  Who says Siberian Huskies and cats don't get along?!
