Today is National Love Your Pet Day. Last year at this time, I was dealing with a dying dog. This year, we are counting the days until Coco the puppy turns one, so that we can start counting down the days until she turns two. Hopefully, by then, she will be done with chewing our socks and anything else she can find lying around. Coco is an aggressive chewer but we love her, nonetheless.
Coco was a shelter dog and when we saw her, we were told she was part Pomeranian and part terrier. I thought she was more terrier than anything else. One of my sons, as a Christmas present, settled the debate. He had a DNA analysis done on her. Turns out she is part Pomeranian and part Irish Setter mix (if we can believe a dog DNA test – I am a little cynical about these things).
Coco loves the snow!

A Pi Phi friend, who is also a very talented glass artist, has a shop on etsy. She honed her skill at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee (http://www.arrowmont.org/). The 2015 class schedule is available and I encourage anyone with any level of skill to sign up for classes. Participants can be beginners or experts. It is a wonderful school and taking a class there can be a life changing experience.
I love my wonderful wine carnation made by Lake Angel Glass!
My friend, the glass artist, is also a proud Mizzou alumna and some of her work has a definite Tiger flavor. https://www.etsy.com/shop/LakeAngelGlass
