Sock Dogs are the perfect pets

I went to brunch at Elizabeth's house today (where the strata was delicious!!) and Melissa showed us the sock dog puppets she made for her nieces and nephews to give to them on Christmas. The puppets are sock replicas of Enzo and Mika — Melissa's pet greyhounds. Honestly, she did the most amazing job crafting the puppets...the noses are made from the insides of socks, the ears are old tee shirts lined with pink felt, and the mouths were incredibley detailed — down to including the tonsils!

I believe the proper name for that wierd thing hanging down in the back of bowser's beak is his uvula.

I bought a Norfolk Island Pine about five years ago on the day after Christmas for one dollar. It has served me well as a Christmas tree every year since. It's about six feet tall, now, and I use white lights, too.

Yours looks great.
