For the Love of Qwill, the cure for collarhollics!

Here at For the Love of Qwill, I want YOU to be the designer! YOU get to pick your own fabric from our ever expanding collection of fabrics!

*HOW CUSTOM ORDERING WORKS*: Browse our fabric galleries, and pick the fabric(s) you best love, write down the unique fabric code in the upper left corner.

Next, in my shop, select the collar style you want (streamline, martingale, buckle or buckle martingale) and the webbing size you want (1", 3/4")

Finally, at checkout be sure to include your FABRIC CODE, and NECK MEASUREMENTS.

Once your payment is delivered to me, work starts on your own completely custom collar, and will be done and on it's way to you in 7-10 days!

About the "Mawm"

Photobucket


Hi! I'm the Mawm. My name is Alexis, i mostly go by Lexi. I am 24. I have 4 mutts and 2 cats. I moved back to my hometown in Northern Ohio and in with my parents in September 2008. We have a grand total of 6 cats, 5 dogs, 2 hedgehogs, and a Chinchilla.

This is just another blog for my dogs featuring the adventures of my four dogs Qwill, Shiner, Apostrophy ("Trophy"), and Baxter as well as their Cousin: Koda.
This blog is for me to hone my photography skills while subjecting my dogs to lots of crazy things. Err... I mean while showering my dogs with love and cookies. Yeah, that's it. Cookies. :)

Why Broken Butt?
Qwill and Shiner were both rescues and both have hip dysplasia. I lovingly refer to them as the Broken Butts! Trophy is my THIRD attempt at adopting a dog suitable for sports i.e. flyball, we'll see how his hips pan out when they're x-rayed.

My goals for 2009:
1. Get Qwill's CGC
2. Get Qwill certified as a therapy dog
3. Join the local dock diving club
4. Get 4 boys scootering together (up to three so far!)
5. Take a flyball class with Trophy
6. Train and compete in Rally O with Qwill
7. Get Shiner to do... something....
8. Get a better job DONE!
9. Do more fostering DONE (and cut off)
10. Adopt another dog DONE!!!
