It came ! (For Ricky)

Remember when Denny found Mom that cute little agility set for OUR Model train layout - well it came and even though Mom has been suffering with the sickies - she worked on it all day yesterday to get it in place and we have named it after our little agility buddy RICKY.

Ricky had a bit of a break from his agility but is now back practicing and having so much fun - so it was perfect to name it after him. And check out Ricky's little cafe with all the seating and the outside fireplace for the peeps on the cold days.

Remember you can click on the photos to see them bigger. Now what you may not know is Mom puts all the models together herself - with ME dogervising of coarse - YES they actually come in pieces so she puts in all the windows and doors, puts the walls and roofs together and paints them all. In this little agility set Mom had to even build the little tables, she hand painted all the little people and had to put together all the pieces in the agility set. Getting all the little sticks straight on the little weave poles was the hardest.  The set  actually came with a picket fence but I decided a hedge would be better  - that way we wouldn't be bothered by things happening in the street if we couldn't see them!   And don't worry Ricky - you will soon be playing in your agility place - Mom just found a little miniature sheltie that looks just like him :)

  9. Holy moly! I never would have thought you'd find agility equipment in that size. Mini landscaping must be a very popular hobby there. It looks great!
