Ceramics: A Portrait of a Future Pet

Years ago, I made this wall plaque, not knowing I would have a dog who is her spitting image named Sadie.

Sadie is not a teacup chihuahua, but she was pretty small and scrawny when we first got her at only four and a half pounds.  We still wonder and speculate how long she had been homeless before we became hers.  And dogs are the best reason for getting up in the morning.  Nothing better on a weekend morning than cuddling a dog while lounging in bed.  My husband then picks her up, puts a sweater on her to go out to pee after which she wants nothing more than to scamper back to bed.

And then as I'm getting up, she too is ready to join me and face the world.
