I saw a couple of Foo dogs that I would fancy under my tree this year in the catalogue.
I have a pekingese dog myself so I am very fond of that sort of thing!
I do like those fire-dogs (I think that is what you call them) in the shape of ships too!!
The spirit house caught my eye, but this is a modern one, and the estimate is far too high..I have a couple of old ones, which reside on my balcony, and are truly weathered, and rather pretty too.
