Hey guys!

Look at River! Bottle green tank top with yellow trim. Looking so handsome 💚💛

Most of you have noticed I've been really really quiet posting. I am burnt out. My body is physically not working as well, and my mental health is not great either. So I've shut my Etsy store for a little while, and trying to take a breather and figure out what I want to do.

Hope you all are okay, I'm still in messages and stories! Seeing you all happy and health makes my day. :-)

Lots of love
Kari

Hi Molly, what's up? Swipe for a surprise 😉

Molly is wearing the new colour Cognac in mini cables. It's like a warm, comfortable brown with a hint of red. It matches her eyes perfectly! 🍷

It doesn't feel real.

Suddenly it hits me, then it feels unbearable.

Just the look at your muzzle and harness hanging on the door, the fleece jammies you wore is still in the boot of my car and when I sniff it it makes me sick with grief.

Oh my dearest boy. I'm so sorry. I wish I could have saved you.

05/02/2024

My heart is absolutely broken...

Star, my best boy, soon to be my rainbow boy.

For now you're home, with cuddly blankets and lots of fuss. Soon you'll be gone. I don't know how I'll cope without you.

We're not quite ready to let go of the seasonal fleece jammies 🎃🎅

Poor boy.

Tuesday night he started pacing and whining, followed by throwing up and doing lots of big stretches... ❤️‍🩹

We went to the emergency vets. Thankfully it wasn't bloat, but most likely it was the beef hide he swallowed a big chunk of at lunch wasn't being digested properly. And that is painful. A thermometer in the bum and a pain relief injection later, and me £447 poorer, (nope I don't have insurance 😫) we were sent home and asked to monitor over night.

He wasn't feeling great at breakfast either, refused food and just wanted to sleep upstairs. Around lunchtime he came down and ate a small meal followed by some relief outside and he perked up after that. He's fine now.

However, we're not quite done. He has some pain in his left hip it seems, so we're going back to the vets next week or so for an arthritis assessment, I need to book that tomorrow.

With all of this happening, of course my orders were delayed going out this week. 😟

Molly went to the vets today, she still has a high blood pressure. Bloods were taken and we left a urine sample which we will hear back from tomorrow. Fingers crossed it's something we can sort with a new medication.

These dogs are gonna bankrupt me 😆 but they're worth every penny.

Tuesday is the new Monday!

Yesterday I spent majority of my day horisontal in bed, followed by making chicken noodle soup and binge watching Fool Me Once on Netflix.

Today I'm feeling ready! Watch out for those dispatch notifications 😤😊

P.S I love these sticky notes I got from my friend Shannon 😂

Hello!

The house move hasn't been easy and has taken everything out of me. One issue after another, and I am absolutely exhausted. Hopefully now it is all over with (well, mostly) and from next week I can give my undivided attention to Levriero again!

I received these lovely photos of River and Reeb in their Levriero gear from when they went to the dog park! River in green and Reeb in blue, both in the quilted fabric.

The sale ends tomorrow, so if you want to grab a bargain you should not hesitate!

Thank you for being so supportive, I can't wait to process all of your orders. ❤️

Happy new year!

We've moved house and are ready for 2024. It's been a wild time over Xmas and New year's, everything happened so quickly.

But now we're settled, the studio is set up and ready and I've put a new year's sale on in both shops! Have a browse and get a bargain for winter. 😎

Lots of love
Kari, Star and Molly.

Well. It's winter. Nearly Christmas and the new year is approaching super fast.

2023. What can I say... It's been hard. Definitely my worst year in adult age. Financially it has been and is awful. I'm so broke and I'm struggling to find a job.

On top of that I'm looking for a new place to live, just me and the dogs. Yes, my marriage is breaking up. It's been tough but I am working through it. All will be well, right?

Depression and anxiety has ruled most of my year. Lack of motivation to do things, chronic fatigue and lethargy. Things are starting to turn now thankfully. I have some wonderful people in my life that keeps me going.

Thank you for being here silently supporting me in the background. Love you!

Here's to new beginnings... 💞 2024. I'm really ready for you.

I've been bringing this sailboat jammies with me to the last 4 stalls I think and noone have shown any interest in them... Molly think she looks rather adorable and think they're fitting for the rain we've been having lately!

I'm still open for orders so don't be afraid to place a cheeky one if you need some new winter garms for your hound 🤭

It's a wrap!

Thank you to EVERYONE who stopped by my stall to browse, shop and chat!

Thank you to all the love from my pawfect customers and followers, I had such a great time!

Now it's feet up and I'll celebrate with something good in the glass later. 🥂

Love you 🤟😘

1 day to go until Global Greyhound Walk!

This year's theme is flags, and I've made a limited number of neck ties and bandanas to take with me to Cannon Hall. First come first served basis!

Hope to see you at Cannon Hall tomorrow for the most wonderful event of the year 🤩😁 Last year we had nearly 350 greyhounds, can we beat the numbers this year??
