Just popping in for a quick Mystery Bag update😅 Thank you all SO much for your orders and your patience! I’m been plugging away on these and have mailed out a bunch! I’m working hard on the remaining ones to get them out ASAP but if I’m being honest, the struggle has been real😅😅 I obviously haven’t talked about this much on this account but, my cute little human is noooot a good sleeper 🫣 Which means, quite often I’m stuck contacting napping with her or spending hours during the night wide awake leaving me exhausted. While I’m soaking up the extra cuddles and telling myself this is just a phase and one that I will miss one day, it doesn’t leave me much “alone” time to get work done 😬 But as I said, I promise I’m doing my best to get these out! Don’t hesitate to reach out to get an update on your order and I’ll do my best! ❤️❤️

Mystery bag update!!

This will be the first time open since having the little human and to say I’m anxious is an understatement 😅 On one hand I’m so excited to be able to be filling orders again and seeing all your doggos in their new gear but life is looking so different these days and if I’m being honest, I’m just not able to pull the amount of hours working as I used to. Small businesses are a time consuming labour of love and I always want to be able to put my best foot forward for you all. With that being said, I will be quoting a longer processing time, just to give myself some grace while easing back into RoKo. There will also be a limited number of mystery bags available, so if you’re hoping for one, I highly recommend setting your alarm! This also MAY be the only time RoKo is open in 2023 so also keep that in mind 🥹🥹 Thank you all again for ALL support always, we love you and appreciate you❤️

August 19/22 our sweet little Briella joined us earthside 🌍

Throughout my entire pregnancy I had said (& hoped) she would come August 17/18 even though her due date wasn’t until Sept 5 and let me tell you, if I had a nickel for every time someone laughed and told me good luck because first pregnancies usually never come early, I could probably retire already😂

I went to my doctor’s appointment Aug 19 at 9:15AM and was told it was highly unlikely babe would be coming soon, so I went home, rallied a bunch of orders for a few hours before taking a break and having a bath. When I got out of the bath at around 12:30PM I had a weird feeling my water broke, but had an appointment to get my car serviced so proceeded to head to Honda. I got to the dealership, stepped out of my vehicle and instantly felt a gush of water (literally like the movies😂). Turns out I didn’t even need an service yet and left to head to the hospital. At this point I was feeling some pressure but nothing too serious. By the time the doctor came to check on me, I was 4cms dilated and being admitted. Labour came on fast and hard at the hospital, it felt like it went from 0-100 really quick and all of a sudden I was getting no relief between contractions. Luckily I was able to get an epidural (2 hours after I requested it) and shortly after that I was fully dilated and ready to push. At 8:00PM little Briella was born weighing 5 pounds 9 ounces.

We stayed two nights in the hospital and were discharged on August 21. Unfortunately, when we got home Briella was sleeping 24/7 and would not eat. We got some blood work done and our doctor decided it would be best to have us readmitted to the hospital to treat her jaundice and make sure she doesn’t lose anymore weight. After another two night stay in the paediatric unit, we got to come home again, this time for good!

I’m happy to say the dogs are taking the addition way better than expected and we are now just taking each day in and adjusting to life as a family of five and loving every second.

Since she came early, I do still have outstanding orders to fulfill but I promise I am working on them in the moments I have time to do so!

08/27/2022

Hiii 👋🏻 We’re still here, trying to be as active as possible but the struggle is real. We are taking time to enjoy and settle into our new life as a family of five 🌻

As for all the outstanding orders, I have some that I made prior to going into labour (literally an hour before😂) that I’m hoping to package and send to the post office in the next few days. All other orders, I’m hoping to slower resume making them next week, but we will see what next week looks like for us when we cross that bridge!

In the meantime, please continue to tag us and share your photos with us! I’ll still be active online and if you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to shoot me a message!

Going forward I’m thinking about offering some pre-made collars, that way I don’t feel stressed or overwhelmed with having to make shipping deadlines with a newborn. Another option would be to limit how many monthly orders I accept but was just wanted to see which option our amazing customers would prefer?! 😍

Kyro update & a series of photos no one asked for because how do you pick just one 👀

Last Friday he became incredibly ill and very quickly so I immediately rushed him into the vet. The first vet was concerned he had peritonitis and wanted him admitted immediately which we did. FYI- do not google that if you think you’re dog has it🥲. He was admitted all day and wasn’t showing any signs of improvement that evening. After a second set of xrays came back we were able rule out peritonitis but the night vet still didn’t have any leads and dropped the “we may have to consider euthanasia if we can’t get to the bottom of this”. Needless to say, the next 3 hours were filled with reminiscing on photos and bawling my face off. Luckily though after spending 2 nights in the emergency on IVs, we were able to bring him home last Sunday because white blood cells were improving and he was starting to pep up a little. Since he’s been home with us (on 6 different medications ) he has been steadily improving physically. His appetite is back, his tail wags are back and he even did his food dance for breakfast this morning. However, as of yesterday his liver levels were still incredibly high so next week we will be going back for more testing to hopefully get to the bottom of this (and fix it so he lives forever because anything else is unacceptable).

Thank you so much to everyone who reached out and checked in on him (and me)!! This little dog community is just so amazing and I’m so grateful to you all❤️

If you’re looking to get an order in before we temporarily close 🤰 then make sure you do it today! Tomorrow will be the last day we are accepting any orders for the next little while! I don’t have an exact reopening date at this point as I’ll be playing it by ear depending on when baby comes and how I’m feeling after. We may even temporarily open to offer pre-made gear but we’ll just have to see!!

Order update!

Unfortunately I’m behind on the order processing time at the moment. Between the massive amounts of items ordered during the blow out sale and the reduction in comfortable sewing times it’s slowing this down a bit. I apologize and appreciate all your patience and I 100% know waiting is the WORST part about online shopping but I’m so thankful you guys are always so understanding! It definitely makes things more difficult when everything is fully done by just lil old me but I promise I’m doing the best I can! As always, if your wondering where your order is in the line, please feel free to send me an email or DM! Thank you again for your understanding, I love you all 🙏 ❤️

It’s been over a year since this bean has been able to help us with a new launch that I forgot what a good little model she is! It’s also been that long since she got a new a collar so it’s only fitting she got in on the new launch! Shout out to for helping pick this print which is truly perfection on her! 😍🔥

06/27/2022

It’s been really fun watching all the guessing for who picked which print!! I can’t wait for you guys to see who picked what🙊🙈

06/22/2022

IG crop doing this photo dirty but can we take a second to appreciate this print!! One of our amazing reps picked this to be part of the Reptastic launch (coming soon 😏)! Any guesses who it was?!

06/15/2022

I’m beyond excited to launch our Reptastic collection!! The date is still tbd but it’s coming sooooon🙊 This collection is extra special because each of our amazing reps picked their own print which is a first for us and I’m blown away by how amazing they came out😍 Also, just a reminder *** this is very possibly our last launch of 2022 so you definitely don’t want to miss out 👀

06/02/2022

If there was ever a time to run to our site.. it’s now😏 We are having a MASSIVE collar clear out sale!! If you didn’t see our post the other day, we are expecting a little human in September and I want to clear our a huge chunk of stock before we take a break later this year. All collars right now are 30% off (with the exception of our Tofino collar)!! We have not had a sale this big.. probably for 3-4 years🤯 I’m not exactly sure how long we will run it, it’s kind of stock depending so if you have something you wanna snag, the sooner the better!!

06/01/2022

A sneak peek of our next launch🙊 This launch is EXTRA special for a few reasons! Firstly because our amazing reps each got to choose a print of their choice! So this entire collection is honour to them and how lucky we are to have them as part of the RoKo team!! And secondly, because this may be the last collection until 2023👀 Since my due date is Sept 5, I 100% can’t do a Fall launch and will likely forgo a Winter one as well… but that is still up in the air!

05/31/2022

Our cork accents are perfect to add a personalized and unique look to all our collars! I love seeing how the different cork colours change the look of the prints😍

05/28/2022

If you’ve noticed us being a little quiet on here.. it’s because we’ve all been busy studying 🙊🤰

2 mins of a quick scrub and those bright white lines speak for themselves! This collar is over a year old now and honestly, hadn’t been cleaned in while before this😂 and yet, still cleaned up SO well! & this is the #1 reason everyone loves our gear 🙌🏻
