Swim failure

So Buddy the bichon is supposed to be smaller than Saber. 
 So we tried his life vest on Saber. He had gained so much 
weight she swam right out of it. Don't worry,
she was fine after this event.  We put her on the side 
and she just hung out a bit.  
She even asked to come in later.  We just carried her
 around and forwent the life vest.

Appa Costume being worn


I blurred the child's face so that no one would be bothered. This is
how the Appa Costume came out when worn.  You can't see the 
extra arms, but they are there.

So my mother's dog, Buddy, loves to swim.  He even
has his own life preserver.

Buddy found it the easiest way to get away from Saber
since Saber isn't that big on water.

We found out that Buddy was the biggest/easiest lure
to get Saber in the water.

Just as long as I was holding her.

What happens when you move the camera while on 
water distortion correction setting.

 Zach trying to lure her into something to float her in.
It didn't work.

Holly thought it was funny.

Appa Costume

Apparently I come up on the internet for Appa costumes for dogs.  Imagine that. :)  Anywho, I have actually gotten a few requests to have one made for "insert person here"'s dog.  So, I was thinking that potentially I could make a few (a very limited number because these are time consuming) for dogs.

Below is a diagram (modeled by Pudge derPoopster) of the dimensions on said dog that I would need.
Click to enlarge to read.

If you decide you want to commission me for an Appa costume, please drop me a line at ladyhiko@gmail.com. :)

Saber's first trip to the pool

Saber will come into the water with me apparently.

So they say...

So they say that although Corgi's are short they should wear size large dog costumes. 
That being said, everyone has given me dog costumes in large...

She is five mos. old today.
I think she has a ways to grow...

Saber's First Bath

Sorry it's a bit long.  I won't feel bad if you skip around a bit.
Since this was filmed, she has had another bath, one she has been a bit more receptive to.

Deep within the corgi jungle...

 The great and powerful Corgisaur stalks her prey.

She spots her quarry, and tries to look coy to not let on that she is stalking... 

 "She's angry! She's angry!" Quick Mom!  Pull me away to safety! My quarry has spotted me!

Maybe I'll have better luck stalking Whoville creatures....

Saber playing with a little blue ball from the dollar store. Yes, she did pop it later.
