Lead Dog

This lump of lead is, I suppose, meant to resemble a Bichon-Frisée dog. My mom had such an animal at the time she died, named Louie. Somehow this item came into my possession when the various trinkets were divvied up among the survivors. I never cared much for Louie, but for some reason this object, of the many sundry leftovers from my mother's existence, embodies the grief I feel when I miss her.
