  • My dogs created the paintings, and I thought it would be so much fun to share them with other dog lovers.

  • After my dogs did their paintings, I was trying to figure out what to do with them. I suddenly thought about how cool it would be for them to do designs on items. It took me 3 years to figure out how to make that work without overdosing my dogs on peanut butter! Print on demand became accessible for normal people as well as DTF and UVDTF. Ta-da! I had my answer. I started my Etsy shop and began creating items. Luckily, my dogs have their own fan club at the hospital they visit as therapy dogs.

  • So far, my tote bags have been very popular, but the night lights are new and are getting a lot of attention.

  • I love making new products and coming up with new ideas. Every new product is my favorite. Have I mentioned I'm ADHD? LOL

  • Every one of our designs began with a painting created by one of my very good dogs. The original artwork is a solid memory of each of them and each one has its own personality. In fact, Echo's painting is a beautiful, tangible way for me to remember her. She is the reason that our mission is "making people smile, one very good dog at a time."

  • I love Idaho in general. I feel like we live in the most beautiful state in the country. I love the people and I love the connections I have made with people over talking about dogs.

  • Taking over the world with the Very Good Dogs Club! Mwahahahahaha! With any luck, we will continue to grow and get more fans.

  • Never take yourself too seriously. If you do, you will miss out on a lot of laughs.
