My standard, smooth dachshund, Ch. Retdachs Brwneyed Hansomboy, AKA Edgar Allen Nose, or J. Edgar Pooter inspired the life-sized bronze, "Life's a Ball!" As a puppy, Edgar often played with his Buster Cube™. He would twist and turn his body while trying to wrestle food out of this toy. His contortions, strength and determination fascinated me. The cube evolved into a ball, "On the Ball." The pup evolved into a "man" and the ball into a bigger ball. Edgar is a happy, outgoing boy; HE inspired the title! This piece has earned numerous awards in miniature exhibitions over the years.

Each is made entirely by hand in Colorado, USA. Each is signed, numbered and includes my mark, Joy Beckner Bronze Sculptor

Enjoy!
