Wine Glasses that go "woof!"

This was a custom order for one of my wonderful customers, a birthday gift for a friend. The dog's name is Pilot and he is a true wonder-dog! A golden retreiver with three legs, he's missing his back right leg, but that doesn't stop him from doing what he loves to do. With his favorite activities and distinct features (including his pinkish-black-speckled nose) in mind, we designed a set of four Four Seasons painted wine glasses featuring this beautiful dog. I've been told that Pilot's owner is really happy with them, even shows them off to people when they come over - which is pretty cool if you ask me... what a unique and thoughtful gift!

Here he is, in all his glory... Pilot the Wonder-Dog

"I think dogs are the most amazing creatures;

they give unconditional love.

For me they are the role model for being alive."

Couldn't choose just one quote to close this post,

so here are a few more of my favorite canine quotes...

My little dog - a heartbeat at my feet.

~Edith Wharton

We long for an affection

altogether ignorant of our faults.

Heaven has accorded this to us

in the uncritical canine attachment.

~George Eliot

Dogs' lives are too short. Their only fault, really.

~Agnes Sligh Turnbull
