Bittersweet Wreath to Benefit Boston Terrier Rescue



MAKES A GREAT GIFT!!

$10 from each purchase to go directly to Boston Terrier Rescue (ABTR)

Beautiful Handmade Bittersweet Wreath a beautiful accent in bright fall colors great for the entire fall season!

Grape/Bittersweet vine base makes this piece endure for seasons to come (though the berries are fragile and likely won't last past one season). Especially long lasting if kept indoors/out of direct weather.

Ribbon bow to match your home colors/decor can be added at no additional cost at your request. Each piece is handmade and varies slightly

Thank you for looking! I'm sure you'll enjoy this piece and get many, many compliments.


PLEASE NOTE: the berries in the pictures had not opened yet, but have since opened red berries with yellow shell. This piece is fragile and will be packaged with extreme care, however it is unavoidable some berries will come loose.

Please keep pets/children from eating berries.

a BIG brag

As many of you know Dexter has been training hard to prepare for his therapy dog test on October 31st.

Well, since he has been sick Dexter missed class tonight, but sent Rocco as his substitute.

ROCCO was a ROCKSTAR!!!!

An actual CGC evaluator was there conducting an exact practice run of the CGC exam and Rocco passed, without bait, like a pro! He was even the practice dog for the dozen other dogs in the class to greet a friendly dog with no problems at all.

I am the world's proudest Mom tonight.


Inspired by tonight's success I will be signing Rocco up for the CGC test on the same day Goobster takes his TDI test. Wish us luck!
