A Blue doll made of her own fur. Dear Daughter, that was a very nice thing you did. Its also one of your finer works of art, I think. It captures something of Blue and that's not easy to do. You put your heart into this project, a work of love as much as art.

The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not man's. 

 ~Mark Twain, letter to W.D. Howells, 2 April 1899
