QUICK SUMMARY --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Summary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blitzkriega - Balloon Dog Floatie is a compact water pipe sculpted as a balloon dog riding a pool floatie. The floatie is a bright yellow ring banded in black, red, orange and green, and the dog's long neck rises out of it in the same stripes, ending in two rounded ears and a round nose. The mouthpiece is on the nose. A red 10mm female hand ground joint sticks out from the side of the floatie, and a 2-hole perc sits inside. The whole piece is sandblasted, so the surface is matte rather than glossy. It stands 5.75 inches tall on a 3-inch base and sells for $3,599.99.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 4. HERO INTRO --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlitzkriega Balloon Dog Floatie – Sculpted Balloon Dog Rig on a Striped Pool Floatie\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlitzkriega is known in our case for balloon dogs — mini and full-size, in solid colors and dark colorways. The Blitzkriega - Balloon Dog Floatie adds a second sculpture to the idea: the dog now sits inside a pool floatie, its neck rising from inside a yellow ring. The floatie is the base and water chamber of the piece, and the dog is the neck and mouthpiece, so the joke and the function are the same glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe color runs through the whole piece. Black, red, orange, yellow and green bands wrap the floatie and climb the dog's neck to its ears and nose, and the sandblasted finish gives it the flat sheen of an inflatable toy. A red 10mm female hand ground joint sits on the side of the floatie, and a 2-hole perc inside breaks up each pull.

The ring has the soft, slightly pinched seams of a real inflatable, the stripes wrap all the way around it, and the dog's neck rises from the inside edge of the ring rather than the center, so the dog looks like it is leaning back to relax. The ears are two rounded lobes, one dark and one in warm stripes, and the round nose at the end of the neck is the mouthpiece. The red joint on the side of the ring sits where an inflatable's valve would be, so even the working parts stay in the joke. Every surface is sandblasted, which ties the dog and floatie together into one matte object instead of two shiny ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you already own one of Blitzkriega's balloon dogs, the Blitzkriega - Balloon Dog Floatie is the piece that turns a single dog into a scene, and it sits well next to the solid-color dogs on a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSummary:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Blitzkriega - Balloon Dog Floatie is a balloon dog in a pool floatie, striped and sandblasted, with a 10mm female joint and 2-hole perc.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 5.

It takes a 10mm male banger or a 10mm male bowl. Joint sizes are named for the outside diameter of the male side. If your accessories are 14mm, add a 10mm-to-14mm adapter, keeping in mind that it adds height to a compact sculpted piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is the mouthpiece?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the dog's nose. The Blitzkriega - Balloon Dog Floatie is built so the neck rises from the floatie and ends at the nose, which is the mouthpiece. Hold the piece by the floatie ring while you use it, rather than by the ears or neck, which are the most delicate parts of the sculpture.

It gives the piece a 3-inch footprint so it sits steady, and the 2-hole perc inside it breaks up each pull. It is also the joke of the design: Blitzkriega's balloon dog, sitting in a striped inflatable ring like it is floating in a pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the finish matte?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blitzkriega - Balloon Dog Floatie is sandblasted, which takes the gloss off the glass and leaves a soft matte surface.
