Today I'm sharing a DT team layout for CSI
These muted colours were perfect for a page about our
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
I reversed the sketch by Em Stafrace to better suit my photo
Eddy was a sweet natured and friendly little dog, who spread unconditional love wherever he went. His lack of vision didn’t stop him playing chasy with our other dog Meggie. He gracefully floated up stairs as though he had 20/20 vision and he liked nothing better than to nest in someone’s lap

TESTIMONY
I chose to journal from my pet’s point of view. The journalling reads:-
It was an ordinary day, just like every other day. I was cuddled up next to Mummy with my brothers and sisters, all warm and cozy in our blankets. I got excited when a group of people came to visit, thinking they might take me home with them. Then I heard one of the adults saying, “No, I don’t think we will take him. If he is blind in one eye, he might incur lots of vet bills and have a difficult life with three boisterous boys.” I felt sad, because that’s what the people had said yesterday. Then one of the boys said “How can you say that you won’t take him, just because he’s not perfect, he needs us more than any of the other pups do?” The grown ups were shaking their heads, so I crept across and sneaked into their carry basket with a big, goofy smile on my face and my head cocked on the side. It seemed to do the trick, because they smiled right back at me and paid the breeder. I soon found my way around their home and learned to avoid obstacles. I didn’t like having a bath, but tolerated it just to please them. I jumped for joy when they came home and smothered them with happy licks. I always knew when they were worried or sad & jumped onto their laps to calm their spirits. They cried when I had to go to Doggy Heaven.
Awwww....such a lovely story....& he looks a DARLING of a doggy.....love the way you've adapted the sketch to one photo & typed on the page. Oh, I need more time in the day...I wanted to do the last case file & missed out & I have a feeling I'm not going to get to this one either...never mind, I can look at everyone else's & enjoy, right??!!!!!!!!!!1
