My dear friend Leah loves ugly things. A few years ago, she found a heavy stone poodle at a flea market and decided that I needed to have it. I have stubbed my toe on the zombie poodle a few times, but couldn't bring myself to get rid of the dog. With the help of Leah's incorrigible mother, the poodle now has an outfit for every season.
Now, things have come full circle. My nieces and nephews come to visit me and one of their favorite activities is to dress the dog. I heard one of them last week: "I want a puppy just like this." I guess this is just further proof of the old adage: beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
