Homes offer a fun challenge, too. Helps to keep honing and understanding mass in space. And it's nice to welcome folks to a new home, create a keepsake for an old one, or just conjure up some good memories.

Loved bringing Rocky back into the world. From all the stories I've heard, he was an amazing dog. I couldn't get over the regal posing. He obviously knew when to be on point!
