Best Christmas present ever, from Clarence-the-Canine and Handsome Chef Boyfriend, who reported that it was no small thing to achieve doggie cooperation and do this more or less when I had my back turned. Stealth dogs, both. This is one ornament that will not be packed away, nor will the other two whimsical ballet-themed ones I fussed over in a store and which HCB later gifted me. <swoon>
Sycamore Stories 
We have one of these, from our BELOVED Lab that we had to put down for hind end failure in December, and I treasure it. We have our fur baby’s footprint, and also our human baby’s, and both of them were/are in double digits this year.
Good luck with Clarence. I enjoy reading your writings…keep up the good fight.
Thank you, Heather. I am enjoying every second I can with my boy!~d
What a wonderful gift. I too have an elderly dog (mini doxie) who is waning with health issues. Prayers for us both.
Thanks, Mj, and peace to you.~D
Lovely, thoughtful gift. But I’m not surprised. From what I read here, HCB is a pretty thoughtful person….
Not that I am partial or anything, , but you are correct: he is very thoughtful. I thank the universe that our paths crossed.~D
