I love dogs!

I hadn't realized what an important picture I took here until I saw it later! My dear friend Danielle made this counted cross stitch for me in 2008. It is amazing, as is the fact that we own 3 of these doggies! Hehehehehe. Also in the picture is a sleigh that my grandpa Cunningham made before I was born.... he died in 1972 and was a sheet metal working for the railroads. I have two of these and I just LOVE them! In the middle is a card box that i made to keep our Christmas cards in.... I don't think Mike looked at a single card this year. Poor guy, too much on his mind I guess! Also in this photo is a china santa on sleigh that was made in occupied Japan.... so circa de late 1940's..... they are all meaningful objects for me! =-)
