Pink Glittery Dog Bone Ornament

The Pink Glittery Dog Bone Ornament is what it says on the label: a blown glass bone in pink, finished all over in a fine glitter. The glitter is laid on while the surface is still tacky so it sits down into the finish rather than resting on top of it, and it will not shed into a storage box over the summer. A metal cap and loop close the piece off, and it weighs so little that a thin branch takes it without dipping. My sister Sylvie has a dog who is not permitted on the furniture, a rule enforced entirely by the dog, who sleeps on the sofa all afternoon and vacates the moment he hears her car. TIFF runs two festivals at the same time, one for the industry and one for everybody else, and a pink glitter bone belongs without argument to the second, where the better time is generally had.
