  We describe the evolution of the carbon dust shells around Very Late Thermal
Pulse (VLTP) objects as seen at infrared wavelengths. This includes a 20-year
overview of the evolution of the dust around Sakurai's object (to which Olivier
made a seminal contribution) and FG Sge. VLTPs may occur during the endpoint of
as many as 25% of solar mass stars, and may therefore provide a glimpse of the
possible fate of the Sun.
