Newest Feltie

I made this unicorn recently. He is quite large for me..around 7". I made his hooves and horn out of clay and really liked how they worked out. He is made from alpaca and his mane and tail are tibetian lambs wool. I named him Cloud after a rat terrier I read about on occasion :)
Anyhoo I put him on ebay and he sold. He is off to Vegas!!!

I just finished a large dragon but am waiting to put wings on him. I am trying a new technique so it should be interesting to see how they turn out. I'm also on a dog felting kick...I'm going to make a whole pack of them..it's fun! So far I have a Border Collie, Boston Terrier, Dalmatian, Basset Hound, Afghan Hound and a golden lab...any other suggestions?? I also have started a pegasus..my first one...I'll try to post some pics as I go along!

Squirrel Support

Timmy has decided that the squirrels are getting a bum wrap with OWAS and has decided to step in. He has opened a training facility which he is funding with a grant from his friend Queen Elizabeth. She is horrified that squirrels are being treated badly. In England they are protected!

So here are some of his training captains:

Master Ninja Khan...Deceptively cute until he jumps into action..

He has moves the world has never seen...

Master Yoda

Teaches skills in balance and strength

Captain McSquirrel

Teaches ground moves and spy techniques.

That could be you he is spying on dogs...

here is a cadet in combat training

It's exhausting work

Top Agent #10..our master of disguise...

He is busy teaching his cadets how to go out in public and win over humans to our side..after all...they control the dogs..

Start with the children...tell them our side of the story

Shine some shoes and gain a supporter

Get the humans to help you cross enemy lines...

And finally win over the young of our enemy.

We squirrels are everywhere and with Timmy's master manipulative skills and the great intelligence and techniques of our captains..we shall overcome....

Finally our General Mr Big..you gotta have big nuts to take on this squirrel..

Jealous all you neutered sissies??????

R.I.P.

R.I.P Archie

Yesterday at noon I came home to find my bird Archie dead on my bed. All his tail feathers were pulled out and he had a tiny cut in his breast. He was also covered in saliva.
FiFi, Buster Peebody, Timmy and Ferret Face were all in the room.

Fifi would never do anything like that, Ferret face is so old that she could never move fast enough to catch him. So that left Timmy and Buster Peebody.

Timmy usually sleeps til noon when I go in and wake him up so I figured it was probably Buster Peebody. When I let them back into the room Buster Peebody ran straight to the spot where I found the tail feathers..he did it...I just know it. Since the great hamster massacre in '07 when 8 hamsters died from Hansel(ferret) and Buster Peebody scheming together there has been no indication of any problems.

Archie loved to fly all the time and had lived in the room for 2 years. I had never seen any reason to worry about the dogs killing him.
I feel very guilty, I guess I should have kept him locked up even though he hated it.
I will miss his machine gun/woody woodpecker noises that greeted me every morning...
RIP Archie
