Molly Mutt Dog Duvet Covers
As crafty as I am, I am a terrible sewer. I don’t know how to set the machine right, the thread always bunches up, my stitches break, I just really can’t do it. I have grand images of making jackets for the Dachshund, saddle pads, or maybe even horse blankets! But I’ve come to realize this is just never going to be possible.
I can’t sew, but here is someone who can!
Molly Mutt is a fantastic online shop where you can purchase dog bed duvet covers. Simply pick a fabric (and the fabrics are oh so cool!) and it comes ready to be stuffed with an old dog bed, or even blankets and old clothes from around your home. You can even buy a nifty “stuff sack” which will hold all of your “stuffing” neatly together.
Today I purchased the robot duvet cover and a stuff sack for the Dachshund. He has this horrible habit of chewing up his dog beds – and actually sleeping inside of them. But it comes to a point when he has stuffing all over the floor that I decide its time to part ways with the bed. Except this time. I’ve decided to be ECOFRIENDLY by simply stuffing his old bed into a new duvet cover. Plus the cover is just so cute I couldn’t resist!

Something old, Something new
So in preparation for Ammo’s upcoming dog training classes I decided to buy him a new collar. His old one had a crack in the buckle that I wasn’t sure would hold up forever (The husband tried to crack a beer with the buckle, tisk, tisk) – and I didn’t want it falling apart in class with me trying to chase a non-compliant Dachshund all over the place.
So after a little bit of searching I found Handmade Green, a San Diego based artist who makes eco-friendly dog products. Gotta love saving the earth! I am REALLY big on shopping eco-friendly, I save tons of stuff to be reused for projects and crafts, and of course I recycle! So when I found their collars made out of old grain sacks I definitely had to get one for the little sausage dog.
When the package arrived at the shop the dachshund just knew it was for him. He began jumping up and down as I tore into the envelope. I reached down and snapped it on his neck – and the resulting video is what happened next.
Gotta love the crazy weenie.
