We just got home from a family trip and we met a very kind lady who has a dog named Baybee. We told her our story and she placed an order. Here is our first personalized custom order and it will be sent to California this week!

Look at these happy dogs playing with the toy we made! Aren't they adorable?!?!

A few months ago we kept noticing that our mom was throwing away a LOT of fabric that she cuts off of bridesmaids dresses, wedding dresses, curtains, and leftover fabric from custom orders for her business. We took it upon ourselves to do some research! We went to our mom one afternoon and said, "Mom! You are clogging up the landfill with all of the fabric that you are throwing away. Do you know that it takes 200 plus years for fabric to decompose? Also, the dyes from all of the clothing are getting into the ground water!" She was shocked that we would research this and asked what we thought we should do. Our reply, "Well, you could teach us how to make dog and cat toys and we can start our own business upcycling the fabric that you would otherwise throw away. The animals would help to break down the fibers in the fabric by playing with it, and then when it is worn down and ready to be thrown away, it will be broken down to where it will decompose faster." She agreed and told us that she would teach us how. Now the second most AMAZING part of this story, I, Derek, was diagnosed with a glioma brain tumor on October, 8th of 2020. After my diagnosis, my mom and dad reached out to St. Jude and they accepted me into their glioma tumor study. I am now one of St. Jude's kids and will be monitored by them through my childhood. We would like to give back to St. Jude by donating 10% of our sales to them!!! Even though we have plans to give more! If you are interested in purchasing one of our pet toys, please send us a message and schedule a time to come and look through our inventory! We have already removed well over 100 pounds of fabric that would have gone to the landfill and have even taken donations from others who have new unused scraps!!! We will also be scheduling another day soon to welcome customers all day long who would like to shop and meet the amazing boys behind this fantastic idea. As our packaging states, SAVING THE PLANET, ONE PET TOY AT A TIME! 🌎❤️

I would like to announce that my twins, Derek and Jason, at such a young age, are starting their own business! A few months ago they kept noticing that I was throwing away a LOT of fabric that I cut off of bridesmaids dresses, wedding dresses, curtains, and leftover fabric from custom orders. They took it upon themselves to do some research! They both came to me one afternoon and said, "Mom! You are clogging up the landfill with all of the fabric that you are throwing away.

If you are interested in purchasing one of their pet toys, please send us a message and schedule a time to come and look through their inventory of over 200 toys! They have already removed over 60 pounds of fabric from our landfill!!! We will also be scheduling a day soon to welcome customers all day long who would like to shop and meet the amazing boys behind this fantastic idea.
