New Delhi, June 16 -- Coffee with Chef Puff

Afew weeks after my dog passed away, a gift mysteriously arrived in the mail. It was an adorable ceramic coffee cup featuring a dog with a scarf. My partner appropriated it from me and a short daily struggle ensued over who would use it first every day. Now we share Chef Puff, as he is named by The Strange Co., where the cup is from. Chef Puff is no longer available, but other objects with original and very cute characters are there, including dogs named Joy and Judy, and a chubby feline named Mr Chonk-some of which I have gifted to others. Chef Puff doesn't really look like my own dog, but sometimes while I'm furiously typing away on a busy day, if I glance over at Puff, I can't help but smile...
