Bob's Doggie Dryer. Contrary to stories you may have heard, it doesn't really rain the time in Oregon.

Bob's Doggie Dryer

We do have a rainy season... it's just a lot longer than other rainy seasons around the world. It's about time for those rains to start, which means soggy dog paws won't be far behind. As with many folks, our pets are inside/outside critters. If they are going in and out during the aforementioned "rainy season," it's nice to be able to dry them off before they come in. You say. As you'll see below in the Supplies list, we found a great towel at Amazon . Any Sewing Machine (we recommend the Janome 3160DC ) Walking foot (optional but recommended to work with all the layers and keep things from shifting) 1 large, thick beach towel; {*style:<i>we used a 30" x 60" terry jacquard beach towel from Amazon NOTE: <i>It will look best if you can find a towel with nicely finished ends. ½ yard of 1" - 1½" twill tape (or similar) for hanger; All purpose thread to match fabric See-through ruler Fabric pen or pencil. Folding water bowl.

Days out/holidays

Toys. Food. Training. Rectangle dog pillow. Dog bed boulsters. If you have a dog, you know all about rainy days, muddy days, chewy days, leaky days, dusty days, found a bone-or-dead-creature-and-having-fun days... do you need more "exhibit XY days"?

Dog bed boulsters

There's plenty of traces in their beds, usually...Our beloved doggies can be quite messy.Well, for sure mine are. ... Lucky has everything blue to be color-matched to her blue eye... Like this bed, for example :) She loves it: it's comfortable, easy to wash and, of course, since you pick, can be matched with every decor in your home (and/or any color scheme you are into (and therefore your dog, duh.)). You can have the fall/winter version and the spring/summer one just by picking different fabric weights. Because, let's face it: unless you spend an arm and a leg on pet's beds, they can be quite ugly, and most of the times some parts get damaged in a series of ways, so you are left with a portion of a pet bed and a hole in your wallet. how-to: the pattern If you can sew in a straight line, you can make it!

Doggie DIY Roundup. I’ve been very vocal about my love for kitties.

Doggie DIY Roundup

There are four living in my home, Liddy, Marla, Gracie and Max and I have been caring for a feral fella that has started stopping by my home. I’ve named him Oleg and I’m trying to find him a good home. He is adorable! I don’t guess that I’ve been so talkative about my love of pooches. I guess that is because I only have one! Her teeth are getting older and she’s having a hard time with some of her old toys so I made her a braided chew/tug toy out of some bargain bin fleece. After I made it I started perusing the internet for pup tutorials and I was pleased to have found a ton that I’d now like to share with you. Loki sacks out on his bed made by Erin of Dog Under My Desk. When I look for beds for my creatures I always try to put myself in their position. Felled wood is reused for a killer dog feeding station by Ugly Muffin Library.

You may have seen the dog feeding station I made for Aggie a while back. Can’t sew? Now I have to be honest. Dog Leash.
