How is June already more than halfway over?! 🤯

I’ve been unable to attend any festivities this year, but I have been loving the photos you guys are tagging me in of your Pride collars in use! 🏳️‍🌈

For those of you that missed the 7 day shipping promo, I will be posting a list on my story sometime today of my current pre-made collars. DM me to claim them once posted, they will ship within 24hrs!

Happy Pride ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Pride month is here! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Our community is under attack and we need to show up more than ever. We are strongest when we are together.

I will be reducing the wait time for Pride collars all month in an effort to get gear out to everyone that needs it! If you have a specific date you need something by, feel free to message me and I’ll see what I can do. I also have a handful of pre-made Pride collars that can go out ASAP if anyone is interested!

I apologize for not posting as much these past few weeks. I am trying to recover and get orders out as much as possible! 😓

While I was trying to handle delays from the move, I was hit with a chrons flare. For those of you that don’t know, I suffer from various chronic illnesses, chrons disease being one of them. When I’m hit with a flare I am in excruciating pain, cannot eat, am insanely nauseous, lose weight rapidly, and have horrible fatigue among other symptoms.

Sometimes I wonder if the small business life really is what’s best for my health because I find myself working more than I would be otherwise…however, it’s the only job that I’ve found that allows me to work when I can and rest when I can’t. No matter how long those periods may be.

Orders are currently about a week behind. Although I’m still working, it’s a slower pace so I won’t be able to catch up at the moment. I appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while I try to keep getting your orders out and also do what’s best for my health.

Don’t hesitate to reach out for an update on your order if you’d like a clear idea on timelines 😊

Thanks to the help of a kind stranger, I am finally able to move away from Shopify and onto Wordpress for the website.

I’ve wanted to set up Wordpress for a while now, but it’s not the easiest to do and takes specific knowledge. After the last increase in prices on Shopify I decided it was time, and reached out to the community…

…and they showed up! As we begin this process of changing our hosting site, our website will be under construction until further notice. Please place all orders through our Etsy shop! (Shop link in Bio)

All current website orders are still being fulfilled as usual. Stay tuned for our new and improved site! 🤩

‼️NEW PRODUCT‼️

For those of you that want leashes to match your two-toned webbing collars, but don’t want a fleece lined handle…this is for YOU!

These leashes will not stretch or fade like nylon and are weather and water resistant 💦☀️

Click the link above or in our bio to check out the website!

Spring may have arrived, but I still have snow pictures to share ☃️

I’m so excited to have Gwen join the model crew! It’s always fun when a current model gets a new furry friend for photos 🤩

Excuse me while I take the next few months trying to find a decent photo spot here…📸

I definitely got spoiled with my photo spot in Maine!

“Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore!” 🐕

After a few stressful weeks, we have finally landed in Cleveland! I will be getting my office together this weekend, and hopefully have orders going out by Monday! 😁

Also- keep an eye out for our new photo location in Ohio as I finish going through the photos from Maine. 📸

I have been absolutely loving these custom collars with embroidered designs 🌻

Thinking I might be investing in a program in the very near future so these can become a regular thing…what do you think?!

For the time being, if you’re looking to order something more custom like this just send me a message!

🏷️: 2” custom fleece lined martingale (navy webbing, navy fleece, white embroidery “Service Dog”, and a small sunflower on either side)

Ask and you shall receive…Mystery Collars are now available! 🤗

When ordering one of these collars you’ll tell me the style, width, and size of you collar and let me do the rest! For those of you that have a general idea but can’t decide on specifics, I’ve added a box for color schemes or themes to inspire. One listing is for a custom fleece or webbing collar that can be embroidered and the other is for a printed webbing collar.

By purchasing one of these collars, you may also receive a pattern or color that is not generally available in the shop! (This is especially true with the printed collars, as I have a lot of retired and limited edition webbing that’s not listed)

I’m almost back on track 💪🏼

After working as much as physically possible these past few days, I am nearly caught up on overdue orders. It certainly didn’t help that we got hit with a polar vortex storm in midst of everything 🥶

Thank you to everyone for you patience and understanding, keep an eye out for an email with your order tracking information! ❤️

🏷️: 1.5” Embroidered French Martingale with a quick release buckle and embroidery on the handle (royal blue webbing and orange fleece)

The best thing about being a small business owner for me is the freedom to work when I’m able to 🩺

I don’t talk about my health much outside of family and doctors, but it is something that I have been struggling with for a long time. As a 27 year old with multiple chronic illnesses, life gets rough sometimes. These past few weeks have been one of those times. I am typically on top of processing times, but there will be some slowdowns coming up.

My health is what ultimately forced me to quit my job and find another way to make ends meet. I ask that you please bear with me as I get through this rough patch of flares and try to keep up with orders ❤️

The past 2 days it has been snowing non-stop here…we’ve gotten about 12” 🌨️

The door leading out to the deck is snowed in, so my photo spot is unavailable 😭

🏷️: 1.5” Royal Blue Velcro collar

Did you know you can order any of our martingale collars with an added buckle? 🤯

Whether your dog is head shy and don’t like collars slipped over their ears, or you just want to make your life easier, simply put the buckle add-on in your cart along with the collar of your choice prior to checkout!

(This only applies for martingale collars that do not have the option for a buckle choice on the product page. For those collars, there is no other add-on needed)

Receiving customer photos is one of my favorite things 🥰

I always try to imagine the dog I’m making gear for, so it’s really fun to see the whole picture ❤️

No matter when you got your gear from us, if you have pictures of your pup showing it off I love to see them! Send the pictures via DM and you may even see your pup on our shop page!

This pull strap was the first item to go out with our new fleece! What do you think? 🌸

In a contrast to the flower fleece, we are finally seeing snow up here in Maine! Being a snow bunny, this winter has been a bit of a letdown so far. Here’s to hoping for some more of this 🤞🏻❄️

Another new combo that turned out amazing ⚡️

Would anyone be interested in an option for shop chosen colors or mystery collars? I love doing pre-made’s but don’t always have time. This would allow me to get creative more often!

🏷️: 2” Fleece Martingale with #8 fleece (Rainbow/Black)

I absolutely love receiving photos of pups in their new gear! 💕

When making this collar for Jupiter it reminded me of a sunset. What does this combo make you think of? 🌅

If you want to see photos of your dog on our page, send them to us via DM! 📸

This pull strap was the last piece that went out with our Dino fleece 🦖

If you were hoping to snag a piece of gear with this fleece, keep an eye out on our pre-made stock as we may use it occasionally for those!

My partner and I took take a last minute trip to Montreal ❄️

The city was incredibly beautiful this time of the year, and we had a lot of fun seeing the lights and Christmas village downtown 🎄

Here’s your reminder that we sell our Pride gear ALL YEAR LONG 🏳️‍🌈

Being in the community, I can’t stand it when shops only roll out rainbow gear to ‘catch a trend’ and make a quick buck. My pride collection is the my favorite thing in the whole shop and I’m so proud to offer it year round.

On top of trying to increase visibility and awareness to spark discussion, I am trying to educate everyone I can on these flags, what they mean, and why they’re necessary. You can find a bit of history behind the meaning of the individual flags in the description of all Pride gear ❤️

Blue is my favorite winter color! ❄️

The collar shown is a 1.5” royal blue air tag compatible fleece martingale with added embroidery and a buckle. I love how it turned out!
