My Weird Dog and It's Hobo Time

Hi Everyone!!!! My dog is so weird...Here's my Friday Funny..I did not pose him he jumped into the flower pot..I have know clue why LOL!!! But he sat there for a few minutes...His facial expressions are so freakin funny...Love this dog :) ...
I made this card for my dad, it's his Birthday today! and since I'm Mexican..he is too hehe :) so I made a brown boy....Chiy thought it was hilarious but hey I think I captured the colors I needed to make him Mexican :) ..and since they lived with me for a year he always said he's homeless (jokingly) :).. so I thought the Hobo image from TGF was fitting..This new DP is from Jillibean Soup (Spotted Owl Soup) ..I did make this card sort of boyish on purpose..He's 62 and I thought it would be a fun instead of a traditional masculine card .....I kept it really simple, so it's not completely like the sketch from The Sweet Stop but I like it :) ..Have a awesome weekend!!! I will be back tomorrow
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!!
