I love these dog checks. They bring such good memories back to me. I grew up on a farm where the dogs ran free through the fields and orchards and barns. There was Bob, Shep, Cliff, and many many others over the years. The dogs brought the cows in for milking; they kept the sheep corralled during sheering season; they kept the calves in tow for branding. Most importantly to me, however, they were my babies being pulled in a red wagon baby buggy; they were my patients with broken legs and appendicitis; they were my companions on berry picking excursions.

When I first saw these dog checks from a custom designed check printing company, the memories came flooding back to me; all those warm and cozy feelings of days gone by. How could I pass up the opportunity to have checks that I look at nearly every day that reminds me of the good ol' days and the good ol' dogs of my youth? It is like carrying a photo with me everywhere I go, a picture that makes me smile and never ceases to take me back home.

I live in a city now where I am unable to have dogs. Instead, I have babies of my own to push in a stroller, and more scrapes and bruises to doctor than I have bandages for. My companions are six – 12 year olds and my excursions are carpools to school and soccer games. Life is so fast paced now, it moves persistently forward, at a much faster pace than it did when I was young. Gone are the lazy summer days, when I could be found with a dog or two feasting at the foot of an apple tree.

Gone are the cows and the fields and the barns. Gone are the orchards and crops. Gone is my father who brought the whole farm to life. Gone are the dogs! With Designer Checks, however, I can, if for mere moments during a day, bring the dogs and the past back to life.
