Project #2 by owner/DT Becca S: using the option theme 'new pets'

The black and white photo is our 2 pets taken back in early October just shortly after rescuing Miss Oreo from our front yard.  Mr. Bennett was another rescue/agreement about 2 1/2 years ago. They've made our home a bit crazy but we love it and I'm sure the couple receiving this card will have the same feelings about their new puppy getting introduced to their cats. :)
