Happy International Dog Day! I'd like to start by introducing my wonderful dog, Betty. She's about 12/13 years old now. Her hearing is going, but she's still happy and spritely! It was my daughter, Megan, who picked Betty out of a litter of Jack Russell puppies back in 2012, and we never looked back. She's never been a particularly yappy Jack Russell; she's mostly very calm and sweet, and everyone loves her for that!

You may have seen my Scruffy Dog Salt and Pepper Shakers or the Scruffy Dog Hanging Decoration. Can you guess who inspired them? Betty, of course!

My Boston Terrier Salt and Peppers are also loosely based on my mum's dog, Poppy, who is some sort of terrier (not quite sure what she is!). She's a big personality, very boisterous but sweet, loving, and super cute!

If you also love dogs as much as us, our collection of dog tableware and ornaments is for you! Not only are these pieces adorable, but they also include a charitable donation with each purchase! 5% of all profits from this collection go to a charity called 'We Care' that helps neuter and treat Sri Lanka's street dog population.

We have quite a few dog designs on sale at the moment, and you have until the 31st of August to get 10% off Dog Money Boxes, Pasta and Serving Bowls, and Sugar Pots. So, this International Dog Day is the perfect reminder for you to get your hands on a design that you've had your eye on! Free UK delivery on all orders over £60.
