Yes those are saddles that I made, and never sewed a day in my life before that. I think the blue and gold go rather well together. (LOL I am originally from MI, Go Blue)
I have a 12 pound white poodle. I also have 8 RIRs. The chicks get warm oatmeal a lot on cold mornings. One morning, they were happily eating their oatmeal, when I accidentally left the run door open. When I turned around, I had 8 red chicks & one white poodle with their heads in the bowl. Oh where is your camera when you need one!
