Awesome job. I know from experience that if you want it to stay awesome, dont let your dog wear it. I made my special pup a very nice snakeskin-inlaid collar this summer, and she had the skin scratched up beyond recognition within a few days. It was very disappointing how poorly the snakeskin held up, but since It was self-tanned at least I didnt lose a lot of money on it. Anyway, I hope that doesn't end up beIng your experience.
