Timothy, aka Shop Pup

Timothy is my ride-or-die poodle. I’ve had him through all of it, for as long as I can remember. He’s 26 years old, and still comes with us on all of our adventures. He can’t do quite as much as he used to, but he’s pretty happy to be in his backpack and go for a hike or ride on the bike. Although, he still lets us know that he can go for a hike all on his own still, thankyouverymuch. Even though Timothy was “my dog” coming into our relationship, I think he and Rob have become pretty smitten with each other. So, why is there a bunch of dog pics on a pottery site? Because, as all the dog folks out there know, having a dog in your life is a particular brand of joyful, redeeming, bottomless friendship and love that helps anchor you, helps you open up and be vulnerable, makes you laugh daily, and even helps inspire you to create. So, thank you, Timothy, for our 26 years together so far. I hope every day for many many more.
