Dog Christmas Pattern

[itsapat]

I am looking for a pattern of a dog that's in profile and has a wreath around his neck (if I'm remembering correctly). It's an ornament so the pattern is rather small. I recall finding it in a Christmas/Holiday issue of Just Cross Stitch magazine probably in the late 90s, maybe the early 2000s. I've gone through all my issues of Just Cross Stitch and can't find it, but I think I haven't found all my issues of JC :rathIf I knew which issue it's in I could go searching for it. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Thanks.

I've looked thru all the JCS ornament issues (& the preview issues) going back thru 1994, except for 1996 - didn't see any dogs w/wreaths around their necks. Saw a couple dogs w/ribbons or collars, but no wreaths - sorry! Maybe someone else has older issues they could look thru, or could it be in a different magazine? Good luck in your search!

Actually the more I think about it, it was probably a scarf around the dogs neck. Sorry, I'm going on memory here and it's not the best these days. I remember the dog was brown, he is sitting so he's in profile and there's definitely something around his neck. It's a small ornament pattern. The dog is facing left (I think) and the tip of his tail is sticking up. I am almost positive it was in a JCS magazine. Any chance of posting a picture of what you find? I just wanna know what the look for so maybe I can find a back issue on ebay or something. Thanks.

Sorry I can't show pictures, as I don't have a scanner & the camera's memory card is on the fritz. These are all from JCS's Christmas Ornament issues:

1) Plaid Greetings, Ladybug Lane Designs - brown/black Scottie facing left walking thru snow w/ red ribbons flowing from neck, his pointy tail is up, "Merry Christmas" in red on snow & red/green checkerboard on top & bottom - pg 32, 2009.
2) A Dog's Christmas, Elizabeth's Designs - sitting cream-colored dog facing right w/ red collar & "Merry Christmas to You" & green border - pg 24, 2007
3) Angel Dog, Amaryllis Artworks - black & brown dog w/wings leaping to left w/ trees & lake in background, nothing around his neck - pg 20, 2006.
4) Britty Christmas Puppy, Brittercup Designs - outline of standing puppy w/ santa cap & xmas stocking on tail - pg 20, 2006.
5) Molly to the Rescue, Mosey N Me - black, big-bodied dog w/ red/green collar, facing left w/xmas tree on back & standing atop red/green/white checkerboard - pg 26, 2005.

I think #1 might be the one you're looking for. Good luck.

Thank you. I just did a search and found a few pictures of a Dog's Christmas and that is definitely the one I am looking for.
