My dog Cali is one of those dogs that is always 100% on or 100% off. She knows what is happening outside the house and it drives her nuts when squirrels are in our backyard and she can’t be outside to chase them off.

On the sweet side of her vigilance is how she greets you when you get home. She starts by waiting patiently at the window…just inside the blinds to see who is home. Then as you are putting your house key in the lock, she starts to howl with happiness. It always seems to make my day and make me glad to be home.

It is this welcoming behavior that let me to create the block print called, “Welcome Home”.

Mark then took my idea of a window frame for the block print and went a few steps further…
