"The
comment I get most about the "Ball boys" is "Isn't that
just like a dachshund!" The first study for "Life's a Ball!"
is titled "On the Ball." This is the first standing dog I modeled
in wax. It is of Edgar as a 9 to 12 month old puppy. As
a puppy, Edgar often played with his Buster Cube™. He would twist
and turn his body while trying to wrestle food out of this toy. His contortions,
strength, and determination fascinated me. The cube evolved into a ball,
"On the Ball." Edgar is a happy, outgoing boy. He inspired the
name." - Joy Kroeger Beckner
