戴珍珠耳環的巴哥犬

I've never laughed so hard putting together a puzzle — that smug little pug face staring back at me the whole time. The pieces snapped in cleanly and stayed put, which matters when you're working on a blanket like I was. Already eyeing a frame for her.

The pearl earring detail on the pug is what sold me, and it doesn't disappoint in person — the colors are rich and the whole thing has a painterly look. Took me and my roommate a couple of evenings to finish, and we kept laughing about why dogs don't actually wear jewelry.

The pieces have a nice matte finish so there's no glare under my lamp, and the pug's little pearl earring is genuinely funny every time I fit a piece into place. It took me a couple evenings to finish, and now I want it framed on the wall.
