A tribute

So I've been beading these whippet/greyhound earrings.

I usually watch tv when I bead.

Well there I am beading and watching tv and I look over at my sweet 14.5 year old whippet Skeeix.

Then it hits me. I must do a tribute to that beautful old face.

You know the one where the color starts to fade and go white around their eyes.

So here are a couple of pairs of earring saluting all those beautful old whippet/greyhounds faces.
Thank you Skeezix.
