Custom Pup

More showing off! This adorable puppy commissioned a custom head harness and paws set so he could have some puppy-kitty time with his ladyfriend, Princess Kitten. The harness was inspired by this older model of harness, but it's totally unique- the muzzle, gag (hidden from view), and furry straps were all specified by the customer.


I'm now making all head harnesses in with faux leather straps for a much more satisfying fit and feel. I've also switched over to heavy duty hardware meant for bio-horse tack and bio-dog collars. For this piece, I sewed the faux fur trim directly on top of the faux leather straps and riveted on a couple of long floppy ears for maximum cuteness.

The muzzle was an especially new one for me. I usually use rubber animals noses like in the first edition piggie harness, but this harness was about being adorable, not necessarily humiliation. So I sewed a little faux leather nose and hand-stitched it to a faux fur muzzle I had sewn and lined with polar fleece. It snaps in place right above the bone bit-gag, also detachable. I am a huge fan of gags- the bit-style in particular for the extra drool-factor. And what better gag for a puppy than a bone?

Thanks for sharing this super cute photo, Pup! Hope you and Princess Kitten had a great time!
