And you can eat the rice in it if needed!

That is cute!

From the title, I thought it was going to be like my chicken speed bumps and chicken people trippers. Some of my girls are fat enough, they could be door stops for hanger doors. Silly things stealing the silkies food.

HMMM. I do need a doorstop for the back door. And since that is easy, I wouldn't get that upset if one of the dogs ate it.

I really like that! I had to leave my chickens and roo in CA. I miss having them. I will have to get my scraps out to make a few.

You all are welcomed! The eyes are supposed to be buttons but my hands fall asleep too fst to sew them on. I finally got mad and drew them on with a magic marker.:barnie I went looking for the buttoneers (remember them from the late '60s?) and they have them on ebay (of course). Think I will check Walmart for a newer version of them first. The sewing together part goes real fast and I now know I should have put 3# of rice in them, not 2.

Those are so cute! I wonder how I'm going to convince the dog that they are NOT his new toy :p
