baboomgirl, that is always my problem too. He is very top heavy because of the extreme lunge.

I made him feet out of cement to help some.



I traced my husbands shoe and made two frames with empty coke boxes. I taped them up good and lined with trash bags. I got a little bucket of cement powder an mixed it with water, poured it in, set the PVC calf frames in to dry. It's really easier than it sounds.

I really bulked up his lower body too.


When he is in the yard I have rebarb under the pants zipped tied around his legs for extra insurance against the wind and people messing with him.

Everyone wants a picture with Mr. Herschell so he gets touched a lot.
