Petqwerks haul: Fun dog toys and tasty bones!


Petqwerks has been a brand that the Fluff Dog Crew has enjoyed for quite a while. Anytime a new toy or bone makes its way to our house, the girls are lined up waiting to get a chance at them.


The main crowd pleaser is the Flavorit bones. Due to Bijou's allergies, we stick to flavors that are not meat infused. The mint infused wood bone is Bijou's absolute favorite. She chews on it constantly, and I love that it helps freshen her breath.


Since her arrival, Daphne has taken quite a liking to the bones as well. As you all can see, she is eager to tear into the new BarkBones! The nylon bones (middle and right) are especially great for aggressive chewers and are dishwasher safe. Petqwerks products are made in the USA too!

"We have a bandana for that!" Part3: KoaBear Bandanas

Siouxsie in our first KoaBear Bandana.

We first were introduced to KoaBear Bandanas after winning a contest on Instagram. I hadn't really had the crew wear bandanas before. I never saw any locally or even online that I really loved. KBB was the first bandana brand that we connected with.

KBB was started in January 2016 in Maui, Hawaii. Creator, Tina Timboy uses her own fur baby, Koa, as her main inspiration for her designs.

KoaBear, CEO of KoaBear Bandanas

Mr. Koa

KBB specializes in custom made bandanas ranging from casual to formal wear. Most bandanas are reversible too! We love having the option of two different prints on one bandana, it gives you more bang for your buck!

We love donuts!

We typically go for the "original style" that just slides onto a collar. KBB also offers a "bib style" that has a Velcro closure, perfect for pets that do not wear a collar.

If your fur baby likes to be on the formal side, the Fancy Paws Collection is where it's at!

These are so cute for the furry gentleman in your life!

Below are a several more designs my crew wears on a regular basis and for holidays.

Halloween is our favorite time of year!

"We have a bandana for that!" Part 2: Nulu Bandito


Bijou and I matching David Bowie garments.

I first discovered Nulu Bandito on Instagram several months back. Their bandana with the cast of Golden Girls on it caught my attention and I had to check out their Etsy shop to see what other great items they had available.

Lucy is all "ears" in the corn on the cob design.

Cali and Blakely. Clouds and chrysanthemums.

Nulu Bandito carries some of the quirkiest and fun prints. Many are nods to pop culture and people/pups favorite foods.

Molly basically is a gummy worm.

Alexander is cheesy.

Vector knows milk is best with cookies!

Luca loves some Campbell's soup and Andy Warhol.

Sassy Senior Pekingese Dog: Meet Siouxsie!


Siouxsie is my first fur baby. We named her after one of my favorite musicians, the goth/punk pioneer Siouxsie Sioux, of Siouxsie and the Banshees. My husband and I decided to get a puppy when we moved into an apartment that allowed pets. We weren't aware of puppy mills and backyard breeders at the time. We knew we wanted either a Shih Tzu or a Pekingese.

I started searching online and the first day of looking came across her picture. I was immediately drawn to her cute little face and unique fur markings. I didn't want to jump into making a decision so soon, so I continued looking for a couple more weeks, but kept coming back to her photo. She was in Missouri and we are in Ohio. I contacted the breeder and despite my intuition that things were not as they seemed on their website and their demeanor on the phone, I was already in love and had to have her.


Siouxsie as sent on a plane and my husband and I picked her up at the airport. She was stubborn and independent from the start. She was a terror to potty train and was steadfast in doing things her way, on her own time. Despite this, we adored her.


Several months after getting Siouxsie, I found many articles online about the breeder we got her from. Many people complained about their breeding practices and not much later they were deemed a mill and shut down. I was so upset that I helped support a puppy mill without knowing it.



Siouxsie is now 13 years old, she will be 14 in October. She has been with us most of my adult life now. She is in good health and still quite active. She has arthritis, it doesn't slow her down as much as it should. She loves laying in her yard and letting the breeze blow through her hair, guarding the neighborhood and sharing my dinner with me.
