Little Dog

I fell asleep early last night (bad sign), overslept this morning (bad sign) and now have enough gravel in my voice to rival Barry White (good sound, bad sign). Rather than shuffle around muttering "woe is me", I opted to believe that it's an allergy rather than something dreadful, and donned the Little Dog as a talisman. I'm not feeling worse, so he's doing a pretty good job - and he's less intimidating than Determined Dog.

The Little Dog is made of silver, and is another great example of evocative simplicity. I also like his slightly skewed perspective and asymmetry, of course - especially his raised eyebrows. In a recent post about Starman, I mentioned that there would be more works out there by the designer Annie Kajiya: and I was right - the Little Dog is one of them! And I own a third pin by her, which is a Little Cat, but you haven't seen that pin yet.
