Everyday is an adventure when you have dogs. I envy the Texans, they get so many of Mary Tripps works as trophies. I know, I collected a few while in Texas. They are unique, and of such quality they have survived the packing and unpacking's of 3 moves so far. I opened a new box yesterday (still unpacking) and found one of my favorite GSD figurine, a little puppy, with one cute floppy ear, holding a "Welcome". I think I last saw this one in California. Of all the GSD things we have collected thru the years, this is one of my favorites, is like our eternal puppy. Dexter is not as fond of "The Puppy". Maybe he thinks he is going to be replaced......LOL. This morning he took off with the statue, and I had to go "rescue" it from the end of the yard. Never a dull moment....
