Why not put your pet on your cake!

It's right smack in the middle of wedding season...I think. I was married in month of April in London, it was cold and drizzly but normal folk who usually want a nice warm day for the big event would probably pick round about now. We tried to avoid having any plastic replicas of us and went for a flower, but if I'd have known you could get wooden replicas would definitely have gone for it! Preserving yourselves in wood that doesn't age - sounds good to me! So, if you're needing a wedding cake topper that includes your fur baby you'll find a huge selection on etsy. This first pair and their dog are from Dandelion Land handpainted and so pretty, but I also think they would be cute to display at the head table, or the card seating table.

 The next couple of guys make me smile and are from Peanut Butter Bandit The dolls measure approx 3 1/2" high. Pets measure approx 1 1/2"-2" high. Sealed with 2 coats of non toxic, non yellowing, glossy sealer.




Couldn't resist Naked Peggies again all handpainted with non-toxic paints, but so sweet looking! Just adore them!



                               
Ur a Star House created these that are a little different, but could be a great reflection of you and the other half. They take a bout 4 weeks so hurry!

Worthy wednesday- Fun Time Dog Shop

Here's a company that has a huge heart - Fun Time Dog Shop.

                                                                         
The Fun Time Dog Shop has a big goal to help support all the homeless dogs that are placed in shelters each year. On their website they offer high quality products, at a reasonable price, for people and their dogs - and absolutely all the after-cost profits from the products purchased at Fun Time Dog Shop are donated to their featured non-profit dog rescue groups.
When you visit the site you'll find all your favorites, from beds to collars to treats and toys. Just getting your pet stuff from here and knowing that you're helping other dogs in need is what blanket loves!
Every few months Fun Time Dog Shop rotates the non-profit rescue groups to receive the funds and at the check-out you will be asked to select a featured non-profit group to benefit from your purchase - so how great is that!
I spent a long time looking through all the products they offer, but you should really visit the site and see for yourself. It makes so much sense to get what you need from companies that give back...not a decision that needs a lot of thought!
One of the many products that caught my attention was the Thundershirt. This has been recommended by vets and trainers to help dogs with certain anxieties. It's gentle, constant pressure can bring calm and focus back to your dog so they can relax. It can be a solution for many anxieties and can be adjusted for different sizes. I know a few dogs that could definitely benefit from this and to think that somebody actually thought of this product...love it!


   
All the products they have to offer are carefully thought about, so treating and protecting your pet really does help others!

Doggy Door stops

Do you have doors that need to be propped open in the summer? I'm always nervous of a breeze blowing up and slamming the door shut on my little poopers so I usually grab a plant pot or watering can or shoes and build a quick door stop. I'd much rather have one of these cute door stops made from a pretty blue stripe cotton with wool tails from Graham and Green. Not sure how heavy they are, but definitely a nice looking and useful accessory for any door! 

                                                                                                              


This one from Amara for Mulberry Home looks really quite substantial and sturdy enough to hold any door.


I have featured Edwyn before. They do a lovely range of stuff including neckerchiefs for dogs, teatowels and tote bags all showing Edwyn their dog and others. Check them out on etsy and my last feature..so cute! They also have a blog with pictures of the gorgeous Edwyn!

                       
               
 Just thought I would throw this one into the selection! His name is James and he's also from Graham and Green.
