If any of you were at C5, you may remember the wooden training or sparring lightsaber I had on display at the table. This was made by our own Obi-Jeff. Well, around Christmas time, we acquired a new dog. A scruffy thing I named Leia (becasue she's a princess, and she knows it) Anyways... a few days ago I came home and there were splinters all over my collection room Leia chewed up my saber... darn terrier-mix! I usually keep that room closed off when i am gone. It must not have latched all the way. She also had a tendency to run off with my Star Wars Beanie Buddies (espcially Boba Fett and the Jawa) but I have moved them to higher shelves Thanks goodness it wasn't my expensive custom designed one!    |

hey, that's the excuse I used to tell my master in elementary sparring classes...
lol
Are you planning on changing the blade? I suggest makine one out of polycarbonate pipe with a layer of reflective material to light it up automatically in flash photography.

A great title for either a thread or book of SW anecdotes:
"The Dog Ate My Light Saber"

She has them, but still feels free to chew on anything she can. She has eaten so many things I am surprised she hasn't died yet! Seriously!
We also have tried sprays that are supposed to deter chewing...works for a bit until she gets used to the taste
And don't get her near a roll of toilet paper...

Any handle look you want me to make for your replacements? Also these are stunt sabers to practice with. I will be working on more soon.

She does have those peculiar yellow eyes, doesn't she? But I can also see it's tough to stay mad at her... like you said, she looks so 'sorry'... or at least knows how to manipulate human emotions!!!  |
