Thank you for visiting my blog! We are super excited here at Beautiful Mutts to now have our own blog to ramble on.. trust me, there will be lots of rambling!
Lets start with how Beautiful Mutts came together. About a year ago my husband and I got our first fur child, Charlie! Ever since that little man came into our lives we haven’t been the same. We are those crazy dog people. Most of the public.. or our friends for that matter, think we are bananas for how much we love and treat our fur babies like our kids. Why not, they are our kids! Anyways, we got Charlie from an amazing rescue in Colorado called, All Aboard Animal Rescue. It was such an experience. We had to go to Petsmart at 7:30am and fight for him. There were so many people there all wanting these amazingly cute puppies!! I am pretty sure I used my boney elbows more than once, but we won, we won our dear Charlie! About 3 months after that we came across Oglala Pet Project here in South Dakota and decided Charlie needed a little sister. And then we saw Abbie on their Facebook! We got her about a week after that.
A couple months after completing our family (or so I thought), I had a huge urge to help OPP. I contacted Andrea, the president, and asked if she would be willing to do a fundraiser with me. And that is where my dog collars came from! It was such a huge success I decided to open my own Etsy shop! On our way to South Carolina for Christmas and 22 hours later we came up with the name Beautiful Mutts. I wanted my dogs to be part of my business name, and they are both mutts and of course they are both beautiful, so Beautiful Mutts it was.
After this, Andrea contacted me about taking in a sweet husky mix named Foxy as a foster. (Foxy will have her own post down the road. Just have to find the right words to show the world the impact that little girl had on me). And then this led me to my foster mama life and the beautiful people that have come with it!
These beautiful people I talk about, gave me the courage to quit my job that I was so unhappy doing and start another branch of Beautiful Mutts! Dog walking and Pet Sitting. And now here I am! 🙂 Happy as a clam and doing what I love!
And then there came Wallace, aka, Wally. I have been wanting a kitty for awhile now, but the husband was not very keen on the idea. So.. I came up with an evil plan of “fostering” a pair of kittens, knowing that we would end up adopting one! And my plan worked! He is such a fun cat! He is so in love with our dogs. Frankly, I am pretty sure he thinks he is a dog. 🙂 We love him and he completes our family.
I am so grateful everyday for my rescue family! They have changed my life in more than one way. I kiss them everyday and thank them for finding me.
Thank you so much for stopping in and learning a little about me! I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy doing it.
