If you are not a writer, you should be! The whole part about the girl, candy, dog-grab 
Comedic timing is incredibly hard when it’s verbal, and even harder written…but you, sir, are hilarious.

Ha, I’m not, but thank you. It’s probably better for the world that I’m not. 
What a lucky little guy… and the dog is seriously fortunate, too! 
This is a beautiful story, beautifully written and illustrated, with a beautiful piece of leather to round it out. Thanks for making the community more wonderful by sharing it.

I tend to agree with @Tattoo_Couture - you could be a writer. Chuckle!
Did you see that Glowforge Christmas Carol add-on story that people were working on (after the holidays)? You should go add something to the story - it looks like it would be fun to play with.
(Didn’t have time to do it before the holidays, but Dan bumped it again afterwards…I’d be interested to see what people come up with.)

The collar is quite Grand.

Oh, great. Now Smidgen thinks HE needs a custom collar, and his teensy little neck means I’ll have to be all kinds of precise and detailed and stuff. I am NOT showing him the puzzle thread!

Love his name ! His size definitely looks “Just a . . . .”

The good thing is you can probably fit his whole collar into the bed of the Glowforge!

Pretty much. I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner, and he goes with me to work at my outpatient practice every day. He’s convinced the universe revolves around him and all the people come there JUST to see him. (There may actually be some truth to that!)

Are you kidding? You could fit that whole dog into the bed of the Glowforge!

Oh he is so sweet! What a perfect name! I had a little guy like that…he was black and his name was Blackjack. He got hit and killed last August…it was such a loss.

Looks to me like he is guarding that room against who or whatever it was that scattered all those packing peanuts over the floor. You’re lucky he arrived when he did or it could have been so much worse.

Oh, so sad! I know, every time I get another dog, that sooner or later I’m going to lose them and it’s going to break my heart…but all the joy in between must be worth it, because I just keep doing it!

Ok explain to this “city girl” — did you really lay in the bed of a truck on an air mattress in 17 degree weather without a tent!?! I would have thought you would have frozen to death — but maybe you mean inside the truck — but did you not run the heat (speaking about the frost).
I haven’t yet decided to “camp” inside my car, but being 100% EV it is possible since you can have a “roaring fire” in the car, play video games and watch YouTube (as long as you have an LTE signal). 
Rio is 2 years older now … got a recent pic of him? What else have you made him? Love the story.
