Many moons ago, it was suggested that tall dogs should have tall dog dishes. Why? The concept was when the dog bent over to eat, it *might* lead to bloat. So, by creating a tall food stand, we hoped to keep our very barrel chest dogs from developing bloat. (Big dogs are more susceptible to bloat than little). Therefore, many moons ago, we created a stand for Magnum. Then, when Higgins came, we made a food stand for them. It looked like this:
This month, we created a new one for Higgins.
 |
| Sanding stuff, stain, putty knife, wood putty...make sure you get the stainable kind... |
 |
| We god a nice piece of Oak (a stair tread) from Home Depot, marked my spot for the water and food bowl. |
 |
| Oak Spindles make great legs... |
 |
| Jeff cutting.. |
 |
| Cut with Saw do-hickey-thingy |
 |
| Laugh while sanding... |
 |
| Cut down the spindles to be good leg height |
 |
| Stain, while wearing old clothing and looking like crap |
 |
| Let stain dry then poly-acrylic the heck outta it (sanding between layers) |
Now, send your camera in for cleaning. While camera is being cleaned, the dog food stand mysteriously puts itself together while your husband watches Sunday night football. We poly'ed it a TON.
Then here is our finished product!
 |
| Ta-Da! |
 |
It is Higgins approved!
