Our Story

 

Hello, my name is Susie. This store was built in loving memory of a dog who was more than a pet—he was a 17-year-long adventure.

His name was Prince, and he was the soul of our home.

The Legend of Prince

Prince was a rescue, but in reality, he rescued us in countless ways. He had a youthful spirit so bright that even at 15 years old, everyone who met him thought he was a brand-new puppy.

His loyalty was legendary. He once went missing, and as we were frantically searching for him, he actually escaped from the home that had taken him in and ran straight into our car. He knew where he belonged.

He was a complex little guy—a true protector who once saved me from an attacker. But he was also a charmer; when our home was broken into and no one was there, he (reportedly) just pranced along with the burglars as they stole everything. What mattered to him, always, was his family's safety, not the "stuff."

His Family

At home, he was the self-appointed guardian. His best friends were our cat, Nasa, and our other dog, Semita (though he never, ever trusted a bird). He loved swimming, but his most important job was protecting my son, Ethan.

When I was pregnant, Prince would lay his head on my tummy for hours. From the moment Ethan was born, they were inseparable. Prince slept in his room every night, and if Ethan so much as cried, Prince would run to me, barking, to make sure I was on my way. My son never knew a day without his furry best friend.

Our Mission

As a family, we never knew a day without him for 17 years. Losing him left a paw-print-shaped hole in our lives.

Prince taught us that a home isn't just about the things in it. It's about the feeling of safety, love, and the joyful, silly, and protective spirit of the family you build.

His legacy is our mission: to find and share beautiful, high-quality goods that help you celebrate your home and the amazing, complex, one-of-a-kind pets you share it with.

Thank you for being part of our story.
