Every morning Edgar hopped out of bed and rolled around, actively arching his back to get a full frontal stretch and -- a complete back massage. Oh, that feels good! I thank my husband Brian for the perfect title he created years before Edgar lost his family jewels due to prostate problems at age five. Many thanks to Diane Jones and Sandy Patterson for making this piece possible through generously sharing pictures of their boys' jewels. Of course, I continue to be grateful to Judge Weldon Long, who taught me Dachshund Anatomy 101 back in the nineties. Many thanks too, to the man who commissioned "Sunnyside Up" to play with "Life's a Ball!" in "Pals".

Each "Sunnyside Up" is made by hand, one at a time, in Colorado, USA. Each is signed, numbered and includes my mark, Joy Beckner Bronze Sculptor May "Sunnyside Up" bring a smile to your face and a giggle to your heart. Enjoy!
