How much is that doggie in the window? 

Well he's not really in the window but this cute dog frame is in the store right now. 

Also in the store are fruit jars, lots of fruit jars.  One would be great for doggie treats.

 

Wouldn't this be cute in a kitchen window?  Or outside? 

I love what people come up with.
