These are some pictures that my daughter took with her camera before I left for Knoxville. Luckily, she had uploaded them to my computer, so I get to use them. I just LOVE the one of her dog, Cody, and my dog, Alex, sitting in the window waiting for us to return. They pretty much stay there the whole time that we are gone, just waiting for us. If that isn't a story of loyalty, then I don't know what is.
The other picture of the black dog sculpture with the martinis painted on him is a really fun memory. Valerie & Hans were in Minnesota so they asked me if I could go to a charity benefit that was auctioning off several of the sculptures. Their dog, Cody, was the model for one of the sculptures, so they asked me if I could bid on it. I agreed, and so I arrived at the Science Museum, where the benefit was being held, and had some great food, listened to nice music and really enjoyed looking at everything. At the last minute, I decided to enter a raffle where one could win one of the scuptured dogs, the Puptini!
To my surprise, the sculpture of Cody was not one of those auctioned off, but to my even greater surprise, when they announced the winner of the raffle, it was ME!!!! Woo-hoo!! It looks so cute sitting there in front of my window, but I plan to give it to Valerie because it will just look great in her dog business! And there is even a happier ending. Since the Cody sculpture wasn't auctioned off, Valerie checked with Theatre IV and they were keeping it....BUT they agreed to let Valerie have it as long as she brought it back to them whenever they requested it. So now, Valerie has not just one sculpture for her business, but TWO!! Pretty cool, I think!
