BOO! Leather Dog Collars

26/05/2024

❤ BIG NEWS! ❤
Very happy to say that my amazing husband and myself are making some lifestyle changes 😃 Not only has Andy taken early retirement from being an NHS medic, but I have also made the decision to close my little leatherwork business and concentrate on all the other things I love in life, such as playing the piano and spending time with our beautiful rescue girls, Hazel & Myrtle. This also means I won't be running any online dog shows for the foreseeable future. I've gifted the last of my rosettes to one of the kindest people I know, Amanda, who raises the most incredible sums of money for Greek rescue dogs with her fun and friendly online pet shows at Moglis' Land of Strays online show for pets ❤ I want to say a very heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported my small leatherwork business over the last 12 years and of course to all those who have entered our online dog shows! All current collar orders will of course be processed as normal, but I am no longer taking any more leatherwork orders🐾 Charlotte x

Dear all, I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a while! I hope you had a very happy Easter! We've really had our hands full with Myrtle post-surgery (she is doing well) and lots of other bits and pieces (all good!) ❤ I will be putting together another show as soon as possible, but it's not going to be until later in the year, as I am just rushed off my feet with a million and one things at home. I promise to keep you updated and I am still planning on creating a group for our shows when I'm ready for the next one. Charlotte x

I am now finally going to create the winners album from our winter show! Thank you for all the beautiful pictures of your dogs with their rosettes and prizes. It has been wonderful looking at them and also receiving some lovely messages since Myrtle had her surgery. We are now two weeks in and she has had her stitches removed, so doesn't have to wear her donut collar anymore. The ortho vet is pleased with her progress and we now await the x-rays in 8 weeks to see if the bone has healed. We start physiotherapy next week. It has been really difficult but we are making progress. As you can see Myrtle's fur is starting to grow back; it's lovely and fuzzy. And I picture Hazel here too as she has done really well coping with the situation. Charlotte x

After a very stressful 48 hours we got Myrtle home last night after her TPLO surgery for snapped cruciate ligament. This is the second time around for her... her first knee collapsed a year after we adopted her, and then her second knee collapsed recently. Luckily she only has two knees. As before, the recovery is difficult because we have two girlies to worry about and organise rather than just the one! Most of you will remember our Dobermann, Boo-Boo, but this is the first time we've had a pair of dogs together. Anyway Myrtle is doing OK and is basically a china doll for the first few weeks with her first ortho check-up in a few days' time, stitch removal in about 10 days' time and then X-rays at 8 weeks to see if the bone has healed. We have our mattress on the floor in the sitting room (the girls love that) and Myrtle is basically confined to the sitting room with carpet and baby gates for the first few weeks. Hazel was especially stressed for Myrtle's first surgery, but she seems to be doing better this time. I think they are just generally more settled with us now. Their time overseas in a kill shelter and then a failed first adoption in the UK is hopefully becoming a distant memory for them both. THANK YOU for all your well wishes and I will create a winners album very soon and put all the beautiful pictures you've been sending me in there. It's been so lovely seeing your dogs with all their winnings. Then as promised I will create a GROUP and start planning for our spring show. Charlotte, Andy, Hazel & Myrtle ###x

Thank you everyone for your patience ❤ The first batch of large letters has been posted and I am aiming to message everyone else tomorrow about their postage costs. It will either be £1.55 or £2.40 (Royal Mail large letter 2nd class, although if you want anything different to this of course just let me know). I have been super busy making up all the leather items and am working my way through the list for my next post office run on Monday morning. I am also spending extra time with Myrtle, ahead of her surgery on Wednesday (torn cruciate ligament). Charlotte x

📮 POSTAGE INFO 📮
I will be packaging up lots of large letter parcels in the next couple of days ready to post to you. When they arrive you will know it's me because of my love for pretty stickers ❤ Postage for BIS and RBIS is my treat. Everyone else I will message you... postage will either be £1.55 (under 100g) or £2.40 (over 100g), please and thank you x

❤ And that concludes our winter show! THANK YOU so much to everyone who took part and for entering your beautiful dogs. We hope you had fun and are looking forward to receiving your winnings. I will update tomorrow about my postal runs. I'll try and get most winnings out in the next few days. Hopefully everyone has had a chance to catch up with the results, and everything can be found in the 'results, prizes & lucky dips' folder. Well done to everyone and of course special congratulations to Lottie, Fliss and Cookie. THANK YOU for helping to raise money for the rescue centre where our girls were from and we hope to see you all in our spring show. I AM GOING TO TRY AND CREATE A GROUP FOR THIS!

THANK YOU to everyone who has entered our winter show and I'm sorry I have not commented on all the congratulations comments, but I did it once and I got temporarily locked out!
