Pomeroy -
ceramic, glazed, fused glass. 15”
H x 15” L x 8” W
Pomeroy's charm
and good looks have, over the years, made him a teacher's pet
and a frequent recipient of discounted prices. Unlike
other creatures with similar gifts, Pomeroy never let these
special traits spoil him, and he is always gracious and
appreciative. He would be a great role model in a home
with young, wayward children, although care must be taken to
avoid making Pomeroy the favorite. In addition, strongly
advise youngsters not to try playing "Horsey" with
Pomeroy: he has claws. $395 -
adopted.

Humphrey-
ceramic, glazed, fused glass. 9”
H x 15” L x 8” W
Humphrey has
issues. You can
see one perched on his face. He also looks exactly
like his mother, which made her proud but which provided too
much material for classroom teasing. Humphrey dealt with it
all by focusing on his tail feathers and his toys. He will spend too much
time preening and hoarding unless he finds a home with
positive reinforcement and tolerant acceptance. It goes without saying
that there can be no jokes about facial features, even really
funny ones. $375 -
adopted. |

Rupert-
ceramic, glazed, fused glass. 12”
H x 15” L x 9” W
Rupert is a
charming and well mannered creature. He makes friends
without effort and is the one to keep relationships alive by
staying in touch and offering small kindnesses. The problem is the
phone bill. When
Rupert looks at you like this, he is usually asking you to
dial someone long-distance. His lack of fingers
and earning potential make him resort to skilled and wily
begging. Make
sure any children know not to fall for Rupert’s
wheedling. Rupert
has promised to learn to make more local friends, starting
with a new family, but he still bears watching.
$375 -
adopted. |

Mannheim - ceramic, acrylic
paint. 10”
H x 9” L x 8" W
Mannheim
has always been a little worried about his small size and
short legs, especially around cats and dogs. When he went for his
associate’s degree at Valencia Community College, he
also realized that he couldn’t drive. Suddenly aware of how
large and scary the world is, Mannheim has learned to
prefer really cushy armchairs and some family-friendly
television. If
you want to expand Mannheim’s horizons and take
him out for a spin in your car, be sure to buckle him
up! $250 - adopted.

Winston - ceramic,
glazed. 18”
H x 14” L x 11” W
Winston
was a quiet, withdrawn creature until one day he went to a
small carnival and saw the ponies at the pony ride. Ever since, he has had
fantasies of being just like them, overlooking the part about
working outdoors for a living. He longs for
trans-species surgery, but to date no medical facility will
even discuss that option. In the meantime, he is
working on his tolerance of small children. $250 - adopted.

Bruce - ceramic, glazed. 12”
H x 14” L x 11” W
When
you’re small, you’ve gotta have a tough attitude. At least, that’s what
Bruce believes.
He has been working on “the look” since he was a
pup. Don’t be
fooled: he has a
soft heart and really likes a good joke. He is especially
enjoys perfecting his scowl on the unsuspecting: try him out in the
middle of a dark open doorway and watch your houseguests
panic. $220.

Simon - ceramic, glazed,
with fused glass. 15”
H x 16” L x 8” W
Simon
was very young and was jumping up and down in the clean
laundry when the bad men came. They dressed Simon’s
entire family in frilly outfits and hauled them off to the
Cirque du Soleil.
Simon avoided this fate by diving into the clothes
dryer, but ever since has had deep-seated anxieties about
abduction and circuses.
He would like to live in a home with very little drama
and very good locks. $350 -
adopted.

Burgess - ceramic, glazed,
with fused glass. 15”
H x 15” L x 8” W
Burgess
realized the he resembled a celestial body when he was in
grade school.
Since then, he has cultivated a sober, almost stern
expression because he figured he should project the inherent
dignity of the Sun.
Burgess tends to over-think things like this. Deep down, however, he
is very silly and will sometimes wet himself if you let him
watch the Comedy Channel. Treat him with dignity
and don’t give him the remote if you value your carpet.
$350 - adopted. |
