pearls before pups

we had a big dress-up day on monday...the search was on for crowns, pearls, bracelets and the perfect princess gown. i was informed that she was a princess from africa.

i have heard it said that a child's work is play, and i understand the sentiment...very serious business, this make-believe, complete with lofty voice and demure comportment.

a sweet elegant,

then a seamless transmogrification into a "white puppy with a pink nose, please",

and the princess gown is easily a silky puppy coat, eventually to become accented by a pink scarf 'tail.'

gorgeous.
