Sweet Black Markered Wood Dog dishes I'm not entirely sure whyMy power of resistance toward homemade animals invested with lots of love is more or less non existent, so heres another, maybe cut out with a jigsaw by a parent but most definitely kid decorated with black and red marker. I love the dedication invested in completely covering it in black, including the sides. Honest and sweet. 6 3 4 l x 5 1 4 t x 3 4 d, good vintage condition, double sided, stands up steady on his own.
