Casey & Co - Handmade Dog Treats

21/05/2022

Hi everyone, I know I haven’t been on here in a long time but I need to share some news with you all. On Friday, we put my soulmate to rest just a few months shy of her 15th birthday.

She had been sick for a few weeks with breathing issues and had numerous tests and specialist visits to try and find out what was wrong. On Wednesday we finally got some answers and it was my worst fear. Cancer. She was given only a few weeks left.

As soon as we found our answers, she deteriorated very quickly. It was like she was holding on until we knew what was wrong so we could give her a perfect send off 💔 she was really struggling to breathe on Thursday night and she came up to me and put her little head on my leg and just looked into my eyes. She was telling me it was time to go.

We got a vet to come and put her to rest at home in her comfy bed. She was sedated before she was put to rest and she didn’t feel a thing. She took her last breath while we both held her and told her how much we love her and that she would be okay. We had 10mins with her after she passed just to hold her and kiss her and it was so special. The crematorium man came to collect her and took her away in her nice comfy bed covered in blankets and that’s how she spent the night in their little chapel. She’s at home with us now in her little engraved box.

I spent just over half of my life with her and she truly was my soulmate. She saved me so many times, it was my time to save her from her pain 💔 I feel such an emptiness in my soul but I know that she’s okay now and that brings me peace 💕

As we were bringing her home yesterday, we turned on to our street and saw a big rainbow. I’d like to think that was her telling me she made it to the rainbow bridge safely and that she’s okay 🌈💔

It hits me in gut wrenching waves that I’ll never get to see her again. Pat her little head again. Take her to the beach again.

She had the best last couple of days. We had one last sunset on the beach together where she ate a cheeseburger and a caramel sundae. Then on her last morning we took her to the beach so she could dip her toes in the sand one last time 💔

Hello everyone! Wow, it’s been a while 😅 I’ve been so super busy at work and doing some dog sitting that I kinda forgot I also run a small business (whoops🙈)

Dog dad and I had an engagement photoshoot a few weeks ago and of course, the little tubster came along too! Within the first five minutes, she decided to go for a swim 🙈 I love the shots we got of her though. How cute does she look in her little bandana? 😍💜

Anyway, we hope you’re all doing well and enjoying 2022 so far! Our store is still open so your doggo can get their tasty treats online 🥰🐾🐶

To Chained Dog, we hope this helps with some vet fees, food, blankets or whatever else you need for the lovely pups that you take in. Thank you for giving them a second chance in life and not giving up on the ones who may be a little challenging. Every dog deserves patience and love ❤️

We’re hosting a Pupcake Party Fundraiser to show our support for Chained Dog Rehabilitation & Rehoming NZ 🐶

We put the feelers out for your suggestions of dog rescues that need our support and a lot of you had great suggestions!

We decided to go with Chained Dog because they are run entirely by volunteers and the work they do is amazing. Not only do they resuce dogs who have been in tough situations but they also rehabilitate them so they can learn how to be a spoiled dog, as all dogs should be!

Together with Pup and Running, we will be hosting a pupcake party fundraiser where 75% of the proceeds will go directly to Chained Dog.

We’ll be doing the pupcakes for doggies and Pup & Running will be doing the cupcakes for humans!

So how does it work?

Order your pupcake and/or human cupcake through our website (cut off date is Thursday 22 July, 9pm) and then collect it at our party!

Not in Auckland? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! We can’t get pupcakes to you unfortunately but if you still wish to show your support to Chained Dog, click the link below for our GiveALittle page where 100% of your donation will go directly to Chained Dog.

You’re never too old to learn something new! 👵🏼

You may have seen the videos of me trying to teach Casey ‘leave it’ over the past few days. Casey’s a really good dog 💗 She sits on our front doorstep watching the world go by, she’s amazing off lead, she sits like a good girl but that’s the extent of her knowledge! 🧠 We never taught her any special tricks beyond sit when she was a puppy because I was a young kid when I got her. Now that we’re both older, we thought we would give it a go and she’s doing okay! Slowly but surely, we’re getting there! 🥰

Tricks and commands are a great way to bond with your pup and it keeps their brain working 🐶 It’s especially challenging for them when you use a high value treat!

Check out how smart is with our bacon and cheese treats balanced on her head! 👏🏼 🤯

What’s your dogs special trick? 🐶❤️

19/06/2021

Going out for Sunday brunch? Head on over to Posonby Central and stop by the Mid-Winter Market too!

We’ll be there from 10am til 3pm with our tasty treats and treat jars ☺️🐶

Don’t worry if the weather turns, it’s an indoor market! ☔️

16/06/2021

Almost 14 years together and still my little soul mate 💕✨

I cried way too much making this 😭😂

14/06/2021

This was a message we got from Aleisha over at 💕 her little sausage stole everyone’s treats! 😂 🌭

Time for some exciting life news!

I have been offered and accepted a full time role as Day Care Assistant at Barkley Manor which is an incredible doggy day care out in Grey Lynn! 🐶

So what does that mean for Casey & Co? Nothing major! The main thing is I won’t be doing as many markets as I have been and I’ll be focusing on more online sales instead 🐾 I’ll still do some markets though 🥰

I’m so excited to be working with dogs again. I’ve missed it every single day since leaving the last boarding facility I worked at and I just can’t wait to meet all my new friends 🐶 Life is too short to not follow your passion ✨ When I’m around dogs my anxiety disappears and I’m instantly happy. This is what I’m supposed to be doing in life ❤️

This daycare is very focused on training staff, positive reinforcement and enrichment for the dogs which is exactly what I’m all about 🥰

So yeah! I’ll be starting on Monday to do some training and then full time from the 25th of June. I can’t wait!!!! 🐶✨🥰

Sneak peek of what my life is going to look like! Not pictured: picking up p**p! 💩😂
