(Rafiki puppy and a Rafiki cookie jar) My buddy Cheri's daughter has a puppy named Rafiki who was found on her doorstep skinny and hungry and homeless. He's grown up sweet and healthy and handsome, and she asked me to make a cookie jar for them.
Awwww... my Toby comes from a reservation. But he was well loved. I think the old man that gave him to us did without sometimes to feed his many dogs. So we honour his memory (God rest his soul) by giving our Dum-Dum a whole lotta love.

That's just adorable... the pup and the jar. :)

the dog heads on each side of the piece are actually perfectly aligned, but they did photograph crooked for some reason...thanks all!
Rafiki is adorable and so is his doggie treat jar!
That is pretty dang cute. And big dogs like him always surprise me when I look at our "cat with a bark" -- all 8 pounds of him.
Thanks, too, through Farmers Wife for the super cute pencil.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
I wonder if Rafiki really has those stunning green eyes,
or if the flash somehow shifted their color.
He looks very special indeed ;-)
too cool. lucky dog.
