Koda's Christmas Cookies
My grandmother bought Koda the cutest Christmas gift - a mason jar full of doggie cookie mix and an ornament shaped cookie cutter! The mason jar was filled with all most all of the ingredients needed to bake the treats right from your own kitchen. All that had to be added was one egg and a 1/2 a cup of warm water.
The mix formed a dough that was then rolled out and cut into the Christmas ornament shape. I let Koda taste a bit of the cookie dough :). He loved it! The last step was to bake for a whole 90 minutes!
Koda was anxious for the treat to come out of the oven. 90 minutes seemed like forever! After the cookies cooled, Koda gobbled up a few of the cookies! He loved them! This was such a fun Christmas project. Thanks Nanny!
I found a whole list of 70+ homemade doggie treats online I may have to try out soon! Check them out here: http://www.bullwrinkle.com/Assets/Recipes/Recipes.htm

Koda's Halloween
Just a few days ago an orange envelope addressed to Koda was left in the mailbox. What could it be?...A super cute Halloween card from Max Roberts Pomeranian! He even left a note to Koda in the card. He is such a thoughtful Pom. The card is hanging on the fridge right now.
We also carved a pumpkin this weekend. Being a graphic design major, I designed my own stencil. The cuts in the pumpkin create a cute little owl sitting on a branch with the moon and stars in the background.
Happy Halloween!

Christmas is just around the Corner
It's 66 days until Christmas and we just added Christmas ornamnets to LuckyPups Shop! They are available in 6 different colors. Each ornament is made from acrylic mirror instead of glass mirror so they won't break if they are accidentally knocked off the tree. The name is permanently etched onto the mirror. You also get to choose from 15 different fonts! The ornaments hang by a sparkling metallic string. Ready to hang on your tree, just in time for the holidays.

Koda's New Sweater from K9 Knits
Recently I entered Koda in a drawing to win a custom handmade sweater from K9 Knits and guess what! He won! I had to send in his measurements and it was made to fit him perfectly. I also was asked to choose a color. I absolutely loved the details of the buttons. Here are a few fall photos of Koda and his new sweater.

Koda's New Leash
Yesterday I purchased a new leash for Koda. Being the right brained person I am, the plain red leash just wasn't good enough. So last night I decided to update the leash and make it a little more personal. I usually use my vinyl cutter to make stencils for sandblasting my LuckyPups products but this time I wanted to try it with paint. I made a polka dot design personalized with Koda's name and cut it out of piece of vinyl. I then used the vinyl stencil and painted the design onto the leash. Last I finished it of with a few layers of clear coat paint for protection. What do you think?
News from LuckyPups Shop:
Small Stainless Steel Treat Jars are BACK! Our best selling treat jar have been out of stock since June. Duncan was the last pup to get one of these treat jars but now you can get your own! Check out LuckyPups shop for more information.

Happy 3rd Birthday Koda!
Koda turned three on September 10th. As always we had a birthday party for him complete with a doggie birthday cake, candle, cupcakes, cookies and presents. All dog friendly of course!
(click the photos to enlarge)
Koda's new friend and cousin Mylee was able to attend. It was her first birthday party to be a part of. She loved the sprinkles and icing!
Next the dogs got to try out the doggie cake, cookies, and cupcakes.
Koda received a toy furry owl and Skineez Moose in his gift bag. His cousin Mylee gave him a Jack toy and two bags of yummy treats. Mylee decided she would take over the new toys :) She is so tiny you can barely tell her apart from the toys!

Splish Splash
So a few days ago, I decided to let Koda go on a boat ride with us to the White River. To my surprise he LOVED it! He usually doesn't like water too much, especially baths. Even at the pool he just stays on the top step...never more. At the river it was a totally different story! He would jump, run, splash and play in the river. He had so much fun running from the water to the sand and back.
He also played fetch in the water, something that he has never done before.
Koda's 3rd birthday is September 10th and I will be doing a contest on LuckyPups Facebook Fan Page!

This ceramic bowl is the newest addition to the Personalized Dog Bowl Section in LuckyPups Shop. It can be personalized with any name. It is microwaveable and dishwasher safe.
Update 2: Dog Tags.
I have been working on this project for a while and I still haven't listed the Dog Tags on my shop. But they are coming soon, I promise. There are may different colors and shapes. Glitter is even embedded in the plastic! Here is a little sneak preview of what to look for...
Update 3: Blue Bowls.
If you have every stopped by my shop, you know that I sell personalized hot pink dog bowls. Well I just ordered Caribbean Blue bowls for the boys. I wasn't really fair that the boy dogs were stuck with stainless steel and the girls could have a cool color like hot pink. Ha
Update 4: Heart Bowl.
Speaking of the hot pink dog bowls, I have added a new design for the girly bowls that can be personalized. A heart. What goes better with pink than a heart?
Update 5: Mylee.
My sister now has a new puppy named Mylee. She is a super small Sheltie. Koda tolerates her, but Mylee thinks they are best friends. :) Koda usually has to jump on the couch to get away from her when he is tired of her chewing on his tail and ears. She can't jump that high yet!

Koda's New Collar
I recently ordered Koda a new collar from the Etsy shop Jennie B. Goode. They believe that dogs & cats deserve to have collars that are as fun and unique as they are!Jennie decided to start making collars soon after she purchased her puppy Miss Sophia. Sophia is a super cute English Bulldog. After searching for the perfect collar, she eventually found the one she wanted at a local doggy boutique. The only problem was that it was $35! The adorable collar did end up on Miss Sophia's neck and spawned her desire to make fun and unique collars for a reasonable price.
I ordered the Masala dog collar for Koda. This collar features a beautiful pattern with cinnamon browns, butter yellows, pumpkin orange, all finished off with a coordinating brown buckle.
Jennie B. Goode's fabric collars are made with washable cotton fabrics that are lined with sturdy interfacing to add extra strength and stability while still maintaining the collars comfort and softness. Stress points are both double stitched and box stitched for extra strength and durability. They only use contoured buckles for comfort, top notch hardware and heavy welded D rings. The collars are machine washable on the gentle cycle in cold water.
Thank you so much for making Koda such a cute collar and sending him heart shaped treats! He loved them both!
