New Featured Fall Fabrics at The Handmade Hound
Head on over to The Handmade Hound's Facebook Page (http://artist.to/handmadehound) for a sneak peek at my new featured Fall fabrics! At this point I have mostly cottons, but there are some flannels, and of course my stock fleeces. There is no excuse for your hound not to be comfy and cozy this winter! Additionally, I've received several online features for my products recently - including the Daily Tilda! Come see for yourself what everyone loves about The Handmade Hound.

Fall is in the air at The Handmade Hound!
Well.... not really at this moment - it's been in the 90s and muggy in my neck of the woods for a few days! But in no time the kids will be back in school, the football will be in the air, and doggies will need coats! So I've been spending time in the fabric shops lately, scoping out some suitable fall fabrics - and I will say, I have found a couple of winners so far! In fact, a couple of coats have already been pre-ordered for their dogs and are complete. I've also already had several orders for flannel bandanas which has depleted my flannel stock, so next on my list is to find some good flannels - nothing says fall like flannel.
So, keep your eyes peeled in these coming days and weeks both here and on The Handmade Hound's Facebook page for a sneak peek at some of the great fabrics to be offered in fall. There will also be a fall pre-sale coming up to help avoid a fall coat sewing rush for me!
Additionally, don't forget I am still running my special bandana promotion! For each bandana sold between now and 9/6, I will donate $1 to Greyhound Rescue & Rehabilitation of NY's Medical Fund. A worthy cause indeed! So pick up a few bandanas to outfit your pup, and support a hound in need. Everybody wins!

Every little bit counts...

In response to the creation of our very own "Cause" page on Facebook, I've decided to help chip in a little extra. Our group, Greyhound Rescue & Rehabilitation of NY is trying to raise $1,000 for it's Medical Fund. This provides much needed surgery and medical attention to many greyhounds who sustain racing injuries just prior to retirement. So, from now until September 6th (when the pledge drive/fundraiser is over) I've decided to donate $1 for EACH bandana purchase from The Handmade Hound! Outfit your pup in style and support a greyt cause at the same time. I have loads of fabrics, all sizes, and I even personalize for free! A dog can never have too many bandanas, plus they make excellent gifts for newly adopted dogs & old faithfuls alike.
Pardon the mess while my site is being redesigned, but it's still fully functional and ready for your orders. I have pledged to donate at least $50 to GRR through bandana sales - so come on over to www.thehandmadehound.com and get shopping! The greyhounds thank you in advance. :)

All-Natural Dog Treats by The Handmade Hound - A Little Love in Every Bag...
So in case you didn't look closely at the photo from last week's blog, I'll re-post the photo for you here. This is a shot I took yesterday of some of my Beef Pup Pie All-Natural dog treats. Now look closely in the front of the plate. Do you see it? The one treat that isn't shaped like a bone? Yes, the heart! Since I started making my dog treats, I have always listed "love" as the final ingredient on each package. But it was only yesterday that I decided I was going to put a small heart shaped treat into each bag- to remind you, my customers, that there truly is some love in there! Hopefully when you come across the heart in your bag of treats it'll bring both you and your pup a little bit of joy.
Want to try some of my treats for your dog? They come in 4 totally all-natural flavors and are available through my site here! Happy shopping. :)
