🌈 This was such an emotional moment as I just finished this little guy - aka Angel Zeus and packed him up. He is on his way to a very special and important person in my life - my dad in Switzerland. He and Zeus bonded so much in 2019 and Zeus was able to change his life in so many positive ways. Zeus was all about LOVE and still is.
I feel him every day, he sends me signs every day. ❤️

Making little Angel Zeus was many many hours of manual work, going through memories/pictures, drawing patterns for all his special markings, making a new knotting pattern, selecting the best materials…

Here he is posing with his little baby sister Hera.

Zeus - always and furever. 🐾

Our keepsake knit dogs will soon be available for you to order. Custom, handmade with love, ❤️

🧶 COMING soon!

We have been working on a new project - we knit your dog!

After our very own CEO and love of our lives Zeus became an angel unexpectedly last year, and so so many of his and our dog friends joined him in doggie Heaven, we thought it would be a nice thing to have a knitted mini Zeus to honor him.

Over the past few weeks, I have been working on making a basic pattern that can individually be modified to make the dog unique and personalized.
🎯 Here is our first pilot doggie - inspired by our very own Hera and her twin .suki.blue - a knit pit. 😉

The next knit pit is already in the making and we already got a few pre-orders in. 🙏🏻

We have been busy lately with a few custom non-dog items: figure skating dresses and ballet leotards! ⛸️ 🩰

While we are all crazy about dogs, it’s nice that we are able to bring in some variety to Goodboy Wear.

Herr just a few examples. More to come. 😊

GBW needs a break

Due to a tragic accident, we decided to take a break.
Our sweet Head of Barketing Hera (aka Baby, Hera Baby Girl) got hit by a car on Monday night, 03/06. She ran off into the woods. We, and many kind neighbors helped us looking for her in this freezing night in the woods, covered in snow and ice, with many wild animals around. We were out for around 7 hours and not able to find her. The worst pictures in our heads, breakdowns.

The morning after 5 am our neighbor called that she spotted Hera on her way to our yard - she ran right inti my arms - severely hurt, huge open wound over her entire chest, wounds all over. We rushed her to the ER where they immediately took care if her. Lung injuries, hemorrhaged eyes, a shoulder fracture to name a few. First surgery to stitch her back up. Phone call that transfer is needed for fracture repair.
On Sunday, the surgeon called mid surgery, that her arm cannot be saved - worst fracture she has ever seen.
Our worlds collapsed even more!

Good news: Hera is alive, and came back on her own despite being in terrible condition - she was protected by some wonderful dog angels, and our love for her.

Hera is back at home since Monday, and resting with her brother Zeus (CEO) - her paw will never be brought back, but her love is unconditional and forever!

Remember: live in the present and don’t make excuses to postpone plans. Our lives can be over or change any second! Live, love! ❤️

Thank you for all your support and encouragement. Emotionally almost impossible to endure - but you have helped us stay strong!

💙 We just have the cutest customers ever! 💙

Let’s meet Blue - another lucky pupperina that found her meant-to-be loving furever home 🏡!

From Blue’s mommy:
“Blue is a 10-month-old Blue Heeler mix who was rescued from the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. She was originally brought to the shelter because of her high energy levels, but that hasn’t stopped her from being a lovable and affectionate pup. When she first arrived, Blue had a neck wound from her collar being too tight, but she has since recovered and is thriving in her new home.

One of Blue’s favorite things in the world is being around people. She loves to be held like a baby and will sit on your lap for hours on end if you let her. She also has a penchant for piling up all of her toys on her bed and sleeping on top of them.”

🛍️ Small Business Saturday 🛍️

On this Saturday, we would like to feature a few of our favorite local small businesses - they are just wonderful people and businesses!

Just like GBW, .candles and are owned and lead by absolutely amazing people that put heart in everything they do! The quality is outstanding!

Small businesses very often get compared to large automated factories that are far away from being personal and being operated with love!

Small businesses often have much higher quality products than the bulk competitors, and face higher costs when it comes to raw materials, production, equipment, maintenance, shipping, further trips to mail service providers, trips to stores for raw materials, product design, production in small and fresh batches…. and much more!
Often, small businesses are single-person operated on the side - so your small business is very often run at night, weekends, and Holidays!

Please consider supporting a dream, a local business, and please be kind and leave nice reviews. 💝🙏🏻

All we small businesses want is delivering the best to you, your family and your friends.
