Got the light blue prototype today and applied rubber to the bottom edges – I’ll let the images speak for themselves. Suffice it to say I’m ecstatic.

So now what are the next steps, you ask? Well, we’re working on finding a bulk supplier for the stainless steel bowls (anyone know of one!?). We’re also finding a way to make the seam where the wrap-around rubber meets look “seamless.” And lastly, Tim is scaling up this prototype by a few inches to accommodate larger bowls and larger, taller dogs. On the first run, we’d like to have two sizes available. We have the second color combination chosen; more pictures will be posted by the end of the week. Stay tuned…
