Mr. Winkle calendar
I have been doing a Mr. Winkle calendar every year since about 2003. My year doesn't feel "started" until he is hanging on my wall at work. The photos are always entertaining. I hope Lara takes so many cute photos that I can have calendars for years to come. I get so many comments about the photos of the "crazy" little dog.
