Heh. Heh heh. Heh heh heh. HEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEH!!!!

So, I had this tiger that was all chained up, right? And then I looked at my dog, and thought "Wow, they're about the same size. That's funny"

And it grew from there. :)

The model is my miniature schnauzer, Hobbes. The chain obviously isn't a perfect fit because it was made for a reclining stuffed tiger, but it fit well enough for the picture. He took it rather well. I'm going to custom make him a little outfit, and when he's well enough from the heartworm treatments to go on walks again, he'll be my little walking advertisement.

:heart:

Actually suits of armor for dogs were common in Medieval Europe. There were often chainmail suits for dogs and even gambesons for them to wear beneath (I know a company who still manufactures these) and there were also full suits of plate armor for dogs, much like armor for horses, though they did not need room for saddles. I have also seen several suits of armor designed for Cats.

she never said it was an original idea lol just that she thought he would look cute in it and she was right

No, by all means. I was simply stating that. I think this is rather lovely, It's a shame I didn't see it ion person, I'd have been rolling upon the floor, methinks.

What an adorable little poopsie! That's wonderful.

Isn't it kinda heavy, though?

Actually, no. The entire thing is made of brite aluminum, and weighs less than a pound. :)
