Easy to make collars...

Well I took on the challenge of making dog collars...

I keep seeing all these collars on Etsy and Ebay, and I thought to myself that can not be all that hard. There are even sites that show you step by step on how to make them if you google "how to make a dog collar".

Here are my attempts. Wyatts is adjustable, and Tate's is just a collar. But what is nice is that ...

I want to make a dog bed.

I have found a bed on a rescue site that looks like it might be simple to make. The frame will not be a problem I just would like some input on how I should attach the material that they will lay on to the frame.

Take a look at what I am trying to do

Home-made kong toy?

Ok, while Scooter and Sadie are kept in the small storage area during Scooter's heartworm rehabilitaion I have tried to make several toys for them to play with. First I hung different rope and ball toys from the rafters, those get tore down every few hours and I re-hang them. Now I have tried to make my own kong type toy. Primarily because I'd have to drive to the next closest town (about 40 miles) ...

Quick and easy blankets

I got bored today, and decided to make some blankets for the puppy. They may very well get chewed up, but they'll make his crate comfy in the meantime. And for the next-to-nothing they cost to make, they're great!

Quail House

Just wanted to share my handy work. I built a flight pen for my training quail. It's 33"x 48"x 48". I still have to build the nest box that will attach to the back of the pen. I think it turned out great so far as all I had for plans was a picture in my head. Gus even gave it his approval.

Weimaraner Fabric

On page 122 in the Weimaraner magazine by Popular Dogs (vol 42) there is a picture of a weimaraner on the cutest chair - covered in the coolest weimaraner print fabric. I found the fabric online! William Wegman has started his own line: http://www.cryptonfabric.com/fabrics.aspx?s=15
Each pattern comes in a variety of colors. I love it! It resists stains, moisture, bacteria and odor, and is machine washable.
Ofcourse, I am ...
