A friend recently asked me to make this leaping dog as a gift for her daughter and her daughter's husband. The couple is adopting a labrador retriever and she wanted to give them something special to celebrate.
My kids return to school today after a week's vacation. Our trip to Washington, DC was busy but very satisfying. The climate rally was exciting, particularly for the kids. Politics are tough in DC, but I was glad to see that environmental leaders are coming forward to organize and hopefully sway us all in the right direction. Interestingly, there were a number of Native American leaders who spoke. They were eloquent, and brought a much-needed perspective and long view of things.
We also saw so many sites and museums, but there was a lot we didn't get to do. I missed being able to visit the Smithsonian art museums, particularly the folk art collection. The favorite activity of us all: ice skating at the sculpture park rink.
