You may recall the Harley Protection Device #1, designed to keep the wall by the breakfast bar safe from Harley's beak. Go ahead and pop up the picture here, because it's really funny! It didn't take very long to realize that first version was too short, so after a few more bite marks, Bruce went ahead and made the Harley Protection Device #1, Mark 2. This one is a wooden sleeve that goes all the way up to the bottom of the cabinet, and is screwed into the wall (since what are a few screw holes, compared to all the bites taken out of the dry wall?). The nice thing about the Harley Protection Device #1, Mark 2, is that we can screw things into it.

Such as this nifty basket.

Designed for rabbits, this basket is made from peeled willow branches. We got it at a local pet shop, The Pet Emporium, but you can get it online from The Busy Bunny. They have several basket designs, made from both peeled and unpeeled willow.

Harley likes it so far.


I think the first game will be to chew the bottom out of it. We'll just have to see what happens next.
