America's Next Top Dog Models

If I had to pick, I'd say English springer Maggie is Cabana's favorite gal pal at the park. Cabana and Maggie are always so happy to see each other and can roughhouse endlessly. The humans get such a kick out of watching their antics, sneaking up on each other for a surprise attack, playing leap frog, or biting on the others' hind legs.

Toucan Treat Pouch

a mostly black toucan with white areas and amazing orange and blue eyes and tremendous long orange beak, sitting on a wooden stick, leaning his beak into my bright orange treat pouchYesterday, a customer who purchased one of my dog training pouches uploaded this photo onto my Facebook page. I'm now in the toucan training pouch business! When the Toucan Lady placed her order and requested an orange pouch, I never dreamed it was to match her bird's amazing eyes and beak. What an incredible creature--I'm so tickled by this photo!

my sheekoo logo with the two o's at the end serving as eyes, with little nose and mouth formed underneath to look like a dog's face, the word dog is next to sheekooIt doesn't really make logical sense, but the toucan photo prompted me to make a special logo for my dog-related products, even though it's obvious from the photo above that they aren't strictly dog-related products! Still, since my heart and sewing machine seem to veer ever more toward our canine companions, I figured it was a good thing to have a logo ready. Sheekoo is a Korean word that is loosely defined as "family", so I kind of like that Sheekoo Dog means "family dog".

Here's my Sheekoo dog modeling a fall collar in fall colors! I like the retro-ish look of the ribbon and the way the colors complement Cabana's fur. After the show, I hope to post any remaining collars in my Etsy shop.

Handmade Dog Collar

Here's Cabana, sporting the new collar I made for her today. Making a dog collar is instant gratification--a fast, easy project that you can customize for your individual dog's size and coloring. I'm formatting the instructions, with step-by-step photos, into a downloadable PDF so you can make one, too. I hope to post it in the next day or two, so keep an eye out for it!
