My neighbor ordered this

[heppnerguy]

almost every morning I go to one of my neighbors houses for coffee time with the guys. The guy who hosts it has several of my projects on his wall to display to whomever decides to have coffee that day there. He has a really good friend that has a dog like the one I am posting here, and he wants to send his a plaque of his style dog for Christmas so he went through my patterns and choose this pattern to have me make for him to send to his friend. I personally would not have chosen this particular pattern but he was very positive  this was the one he wanted, so here is the results and I have to tell you, He really liked the end  project.

I really like it and wonder if I need one for my Mini Dachshund.  

She is 16 and suffering kidney failure.

So sorry to hear about your dog's health problems. We just lost a little dog about 6 months or so ago. It died one night while laying on our bed covers. She was born in our previous house about 12 years ago. My wife really loved that little guy so I understand how it effects an owner when one gets ill.

You just made me smile. I just did not particularly like the under part of the pattern. I understood why it was made the way it was but I would have preferred one that was standing.

thank you. My neighbor appeared to like it just fine. Paul, Sharon is in Heppner right now so she could be with our daughter, Liz who has stage 4 cancer. I was up there with her a couple of weeks ago and ended up having a 2 hour delay at the in Pasco. I did not have a car of my own there so I was unable to go and visit with you but I sure thought about you a lot while I was there.

Well thank you. I came out alright but it just was not the pattern I would have chosen for him. Glad He picked it as he was very happy with the end results so that pleases me as well

Ummm, this is not my dog. I just  made the patterns so that Sycamore67 might have an incentive to cut one.

 I have never even seen any project created from PVC pipe until now. What an interesting idea. I am going to try and find some on the internet just to see how it is done.

Yes I  understood that. I just was trying to say how thoughtful that was of you to make a pattern for him without his even requesting one.
