Sorry we have been MISSING from our Blog lately, we've been horsing around. (literally)
Mommy tried to make two horses and failed miserably. Mommy is trying to make a horse costume that 2 knights are supposed to ride in a jousting scene.
Anyway, Mommy thought she would play around with trying to make a horse, since others are stumped too on trying to figure out how to make a horse -- but she just can't get the logistics figured out.
She made a 2-sided cardboard head and hot glued yarn for the hair.
Then she duct-taped it to a hula hoop. And now she can't get the hula hoop to stay on the person.
She tried using ribbons to form a suspender but the horse head is too front heavy, and the hula hoop keeps tilting down.
So, Mommy gave up on the project.
So, why talk about it on this blog post...
Because...
Benji thought it was actually a horse! And barked at it in a stranger danger attack mode!
After Mommy hot glued and taped the head onto the hula hoop, and she moved the hula hoop -- Benji started barking at the horse head because the yarn was flopping around like real animal hair. Mommy, laughed at Benji for thinking it was a real horse -- but Benji didn't think it was funny. Then when she turned the hula hoop around to glue and duct tape the tail on the back of the hula hoop -- Benji started barking at it again. So, now Mommy has to be extra careful moving the hula hoop because Benji is on alert mode everytime he sees the horse head hair start flopping around.

| The black horse on the hula hoop that Benji is ready to attack everytime the yarn hair flops around. Have a great day everyone. Hope no hula hoop horses come galloping into your homes. (They are freaky!) Lassie and Benji |
Oh my Benji you are too funny. Nice job mum. Have a terrific Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
you just need a counter weight on the opposite side - maybe a funky tail or something you can add weight too
ReplyDeleteBenji is smart to keep an eye out. It looks like a suspicious horse to me! But maybe your momma could add some reins to the head that the human could pull on to counterbalance it?
ReplyDeleteBenji I would have been screaming at that thing too

I think your Mom did a great job!!!!! She should make them and sell them!

ReplyDeleteI think I would bark also at that horse. But since I am a terrier I would attack.

I always bark at horses too, I'm totally with you Benji... and a hula hoop horse (3x "h" imagine that lol) deserves some barks :o)
ReplyDeleteWE bark at horses EVERY DAY.... We can see them WAY down the hill from our house... You gotta WATCH those thingys... they can get loose and wander around and maybe even KICK you... BARK AT IT... BARK it up GOOD we say.
ReplyDeleteHigh Paws Benji. Show dat huli-horse who's boss!

You are Sooooo right. Somethings are just too weird and you have to be careful around them.
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda wary of horses too, so I think Benji did a great job!
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't imagine trying to make a horse! Your Mom's brave for even trying. BOL Maybe if she looks around on-line she can find some hints. I don't think you two have much to worry about as long as they aren't the real hay-eating kind! BOL

Your Mom had a great idea there. Keltic barks at everything new. Hard to go for a walk on garbage day as you guessed it he has to bark at all the garbage at the end of each drive.
ReplyDeleteBOL, dat are too funny!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure Benji never saw the film 'The Godfather'???
DeleteIs your Momma getting your Halloween costumes ready already??
