Who knew that our pets’ fur could help with this environmental disaster. There are many grooming salons that have been shipping donations of pet fur to aid in creating absorbent booms to soak up and remove oil from the recent spill in the Gulf. Once fur shipments arrive in the Gulf Coast region, volunteers gather to assemble the booms and prepare for their deployment. The booms are made by stuffing donated nylon stockings with hair and fur. With this collaborative effort, up to a ton of fur a day will be shipped. This is a wonderful way for all of us pet owners to help protect our environment.

The holidays are over and we are excited about the new studio that we renovated!!!  What fun it is to watch a room totally be transformed into something new:-)  The “kids”  got a little paint in their hair, but they were having such a good time running around there playing and chasing each other.   Kippy is such a trooper….he’s with his mom every step of the way in whatever she decides to do.  He wanted to make sure that he was the first to get his photo taken in this new studio.  So we took one of Kippy on the paint ladder and then we piled all the kids on the paint ladder.  I have posted a link to the new studio blog here http://jamiebrokus.com/blog/2010/01/new-studio-space for you to check out and see what we’ve been up to.  Let us know what you think:-)

As I was looking around for cute sweaters for my fur babies, I happened to find yet another creation by the same lady from A & B Originals that matches my Bad 2 The Bone Collar perfectly.   What a cute set to have for your fur kids!  The collar can be purchased  here and the sweater can be purchased from A & B Originals.  She has many sweaters that match our Kippy & Co. collars so be sure to check it out!!!
