Ask him a question, he’s also a seer.

When D. can grant wishes with a wrist flick.

Was a three A. M. power boat ride.

Upside Down

You try to frown when he’s rude – yes you do!
When he says “You’re ugly from this angle too!”


Jug is 6" tall at top of handle
An unfortunate casualty of the three shows we travelled around to, his handle broke in transit (I told them to stop rough housing in the back of the van!) Right now, Upside Down is not for sale. If I ever get the right adhesive, I may mend him and offer him as a second.... He just keeps smiling - nothing bothers him not even a broken handle. Bless his heart for his good attitude...

A splash of colour catches his eye.

Makes him smile just like a wienie!

Junior was adopted in Hoboken in May 2010. I'm so glad he found the right family that day because we'd had an accident in the morning - he lost his hat. Somehow, in spite of careful wrapping, the propellor broke off his amazing beanie. I was so disappointed. But his happy face did the trickl all by itself - obviously. I'll miss Junior - he was such fun on grey days. If you are his new family, I'd love to hear from you; I'm at sunottin@gmail.com Be a good boy, Junior, no loud parties, no long distance calls!

Adopted by Mary Lou and Fred!
