The photo was taken about 5 years ago; however, the final Hallmark greeting card didn't hit production until recently.

Although I haven't yet seen this card in my local stores, a friend of mine found it in Hawaii and immediately recognized my Chihuahua "Blazin". Despite the photographer & model getting paid immediately, (double pay for doing both) it is not unusual for Hallmark to keep a photo in their files for several years before sending it to press. I'm delighted to finally see this photo published.

My boy was 14 when it was shot and is 19 today. So this card is kind of special to me.
