All Creatures Living in Harmony.

Just a simple moment in the garden today. I’m so proud of Sasha and how good she is with the girls now.

Samurai Piper. Cuz… Chicken Armor.

A half-assed attempt to build armor for my often bullied silkie. Sword training will commence at sunrise. Impulsive she is. Yet, not too old for training.

Prototype A: Death Proof Mark I

I’m still working on the attachment part, but she’s got full range of movement. This officially signals that I have too much time on my hands.

Here’s what I did:

image
Sketched out and cut a pattern.

 

image
Transferred it to some non-skid soft material

 

image
I used dividers from a fastener container for the armor plating.

 

image
Drilled and sewed them puppies on.

 

image
Bad-ass paint job complete with predator eyes and then test fit.

 

image
Some sweet padding that also holds the stitching together.

Battle-Piper 3000. Get some!

Piper Tries to Steal a Bone from Sasha.

The timeless battle between chicken and dog has typically been very one sided. Until now! Piper, while deathly afraid of other chickens, seems to have no problem at all trying to snatch a bone from the jaws of my very wolf-like dog! It’s short but sweet, so enjoy!
