Before Bella had her cancerous front leg removed, a good friend of mine helped me get her paw prints down on paper for a project he was creating for us. Luckily, he had scanned the images and still had them saved on his computer years later. He sent me the image, and I was able to find a local shop in Oregon that custom made this beautiful stamp that shows every little detail of Bella’s paw, even the tiny little hairs that I used to tickle in between her pads. I couldn’t think of a better way to put her “mark” on the book than this so that she could send a little personal Love note straight to your hearts. I really think it turned out great, and we can all thank my mama for making sure I followed the idea through to completion.
If you don’t think you’ll be able to make it to one of the scheduled events and you’d like a Rob and Bella signed copy, visit the link to the rklifeillustrated website in my bio, click the black box that says “I want a signed copy” and order yours today from @waucomabooks in #HoodRiver. For all of my local #Oregon #Washington #ColumbiaRiverGorge #WhiteSalmon folks, I hope to see you and sign your copies in person at @DoubleMountain on Wednesday May 8 at 630p and @powellsbooks in #Beaverton / #Portland on May 15 at 7p!!
The Pacific Northwest is as amazing as everyone says, enjoying some awesome flows in the WhiteSalmon river. Take a chance to try the Cross or the Five, our DEMO boats are available here all week.
