“Sunnyside Up” Long 1:6 Scale • Joy Beckner

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. 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, Sandy Patterson, and Pam Reed for making this piece possible through sharing pertinent pictures of their boys. Of course, I continue to be grateful to the late Judge Weldon Long, who taught me Dachshund Anatomy 101. Many thanks too, to the gentleman who commissioned this piece in smooth coat to play with “Life’s a Ball!” in “Pals”.
