♥️ Happy Valentine's Day ♥️ Tonight I had

♥️ Happy Valentine's Day ♥️

Tonight I had the absolute privilege of serving the @idiotballsoffluff a fully romantic, dog‑friendly three‑course spaghetti dinner. I even shared the recipe over in my group, Canine Crazies in the Den, because of course I did.

A single rose. Candlelight. A cozy fire. I went all‑in — and it was so worth it for these two. Koda girl showed up looking gorgeous in her flower collar, while Bear Bear rocked his bow like the gentleman he believes he is. Dogs deserve date nights too.

And the best part? Cuddle time while we watch Lady and the Tramp together.

Thank you, my sweet pups, for loving me as fiercely as I adore the both of you. 🥰

🫜 Valentine's Day Beet Treats ♥️ These all

🫜 Valentine's Day Beet Treats ♥️

These all-natural beet treats are the perfect way to show your pup some love—no artificial coloring, just pure doggie goodness made with real beets! 🥰

I first whipped these up in my Facebook group, Canine Crazies in the Den, last year, and they were such a hit I finally added them to my dog blog!

Want to spoil your fur baby? Recipe link in bio! 👆✨

Happy National Sled Dog Day to the fluff-powered a

Happy National Sled Dog Day to the fluff-powered athletes who turn snow into pure magic ❄️🐾

Did you know… my mother mushed dogs in Alaska. Visiting the Iditarod as a kid was the moment I fell head‑over‑heels for these majestic snow dogs—their power, their spirit, their joy. It sticks with you for life.

So today, I’m celebrating every hardworking husky, malamute, and sled‑pulling superstar out there. Most importantly, I'm celebrating my two @idiotballsoffluff

Tell me your favorite sled dog memory or the snow-loving pup in your life. Let’s honor these incredible dogs together. 🐺✨

Turning floof into function. On today's episode of What I'm Making for a mutts, I'm sharing how I repurpose to make DIY dog beds.

Two dollar store blankets + shredded toy stuffing + Fabric a scraps = Bear Bear’s cozy spot in my craft room. I just hate throwing textiles away. It's cheap, easy, and pup‑approved! 🥰

Squirrels are totally my spirit animal. Today I celebrated with homemade Peanut Butter Squirrel Cookies (yes, shaped like squirrels) and a little love for my squirrel collection

👉 Check out my shop for adorable Animal Inspired Collections—including my fave black squirrel with acorns and a polka‑dot squirrel.

So yay for squirrels… and yay for being one today! 😆

Today’s episode of What I'm Making for Mutts is all about turning simple, wholesome ingredients into a batch of homemade dog food that keeps my pups happy and my pantry stocked. From chopping veggies to simmering the pot to sealing those jars — it’s a whole love language around here.

If you’ve ever wondered how I make big-batch dog food and safely can it for later… come peek behind the scenes. Your mutts will thank you.

♥️ 𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝘆𝗮 🐕

Not long ago, someone asked me what the most durable dog toy is. She had just welcomed a puppy—sweet little Freya—who, like all puppies, was busy tearing into everything. Since I share my home with huskies, she thought I might have some advice.

The truth is, there’s no such thing as an indestructible dog toy. As pup parents, we do our best. Some dogs shred every toy they touch, while others carry theirs around like prized treasures. It really depends on the dog.

For my own pair of furry wrecking balls, the winning combo has been surprisingly simple: cardboard boxes and my handwoven fleece pull toys. They’re soft enough for puppy teeth yet strong enough to survive the tug-of-war battles of two huskies. And even though Freya is still small, those sharp little teeth are determined to chew anything she can get her paws on.

So go wild, Freya! Toys are meant for fun—and they’re a whole lot better than chewing on your family’s things.

It's dog toy night. Restocking snuffle mats that bring joy, calm, and enrichment to pups of all ages. Inspired by my sweet beagle who couldn’t see or hear but still had her nose, these mats are a labor of love.

💖 Perfect for slowing down mealtime, easing stress, and giving hyper huskies (like mine!) a brain workout. Who’s ready to sniff, search, and snack?

If you’ve ever met my huskies, you already know

If you’ve ever met my huskies, you already know why I started making handmade dog toys. My pups shred everything in sight. Suffies don't stand a chance. The only thing that lasts longer in my house are my handmade fleece dog ropes

One day, after watching a few YouTube videos and sacrificing a pair of my boyfriend’s jeans, I braided my very first rope toy. It worked… kind of. But the threads drove me nuts. That’s when I discovered fleece—and everything changed.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗲?

✨ Soft & Gentle: Easy on teeth, perfect for tugging and chewing without being rough.

✨ Lightweight: Even the tiniest pups can carry it around like a trophy.

✨ Durable & Non‑Fraying: No dangerous threads to get stuck in their teeth . No mess. If it does break you can tie it back in a knot.

✨ Water friendly: freeze it for teething puppies. You can toss it in the wash.

Please keep in mind: No dog toy is ever truly indestructible, and all play should be supervised—but every design in my shop is husky tested and approved 😂

2025 has truly been a year of resilience. So much

2025 has truly been a year of resilience.

So much shifted in my little world. While my usual rhythm of crafting for canines and joining local markets paused, this season of change gave me space to reset, refocus, and embrace the joy of slowing down.

Highlights include:

🍺 My son turned 21—we celebrated with our first pint together.

🧁 Bear Bear turned 2! His big day included “big water” and a birthday burger.

🤕 Helped my son recover from shoulder surgery at WSU—while I had my own mishap with a fabric cutter.

👩‍🍳 Shared recipes in Canine Crazies in the Den: beet heart dog bones, meatball pupcake, lick mats, frosting tips.

🌸 Crafted DIY flower leashes for Koda—because every girl deserves to feel pretty.

🛍️ My toys, balls, mats, and accessories are now at @craftyaf.

🐕‍🦺 Found comfort in dog therapy—walks with my pups keep me grounded.

😷 Bear Bear learned to wear a muzzle—next up, more dog introductions.

❄️ National Sled Dog Day brought snow—the perfect gift for my @idotballsoffluff.

🤓 Achieved a huge personal goal: passing the Project Mgmt Professional (PMP) exam after 6 years.

⛺ Built a cozy fort and had a Disney movie night with the dogs.

🎉 Celebrated an anniversary with Business Connections and Conversations, a local networking group.

🐕 Launched Size My Dog service with free local fittings.

🌿 Started a garden—our biggest project—complete with husky-proof fencing.

🍞 Learned sourdough! Sally was born in October, and now I’m obsessed.

🚑 Created the “Dr. Puppy” bandana for Halloween—Bear Bear was a quiet ambulance, Koda focused on treats.

😱 Turned 50! Officially old… but still fabulous.

🦃 Hosted my entire family for Thanksgiving—for the first time in over a decade.

🎅 Sponsored Holiday Pet Photos with Santa—so good to be back in the community.

🎄 Ended the year with a rare and cherished Christmas with my two older children.

I’m truly looking forward to all that 2026 will bring. With my return to markets, I can’t wait to reconnect with my beloved Canine Community and share the love of dogs.

Thank you for your unwavering support—it means the world to me. 🐾✨

🎅🌲🎅🌲

Due to my daughter pet sitting another pup, we decided to delay our Christmas 1 day. The huskies can't wait until they open gifts. From toys to treats it will be worth the wait.

I hope you had a wonderful holiday with your family and floofs. Thank you for a fabulous season and I look forward to what 2026 will bring.

🎉🐾 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗞𝗼𝗱𝗮! 🐾🎉

No big adventures today — Mommy was knee‑deep in kitchen chaos — but this girl didn’t complain once. Instead, she supervised like the regal husky she is and reminded me that birthdays don’t need trails to be special.

Koda was the very first husky I ever adopted, and she’s been beautifully dramatic from day one. My best girl, my sass queen, my emotional support diva. She’s always been so patient with Mommy's shenanigans — dress‑ups, photos, silly ideas — she just sighs, gives me that “really?” look, and lets me do it anyway.

And even if we didn’t get out today, we made up for it with the best snuggle time on the couch. Just me and my birthday girl soaking in the moment.

Weekend adventures are coming, Koda. But today? Today was perfect in its own cozy way.
