Another excellent toy opportunity/design! I love the toys you make, so cute! I would like being a dog so I could play with the toys. You should make a people treat toy for Us People who are Uncontrolled Chocolate Eaters. I need a slow feeder toy to keep me from eating the whole box of chocolate chip cookies in one sitting. lol I loved your collaboration with Paws for Purple Hearts too. Very cool! Well done to you both! -------- IDEA 🦴 If you're looking for a very cool collaboration w another very worthy dog lover/helper, I would ADORE seeing you two do a fun dog treat cooking video with Rocky Kanaka 'Sitting with Dogs' video guy here on CZcams. He works with tragically shut down pups at the pet shelter to get them feeling more safe and secure and then confident, so that they have a chance of being adopted because they can open up and begin trusting again. Being happy dogs again. Rocky started working with shelter dogs in a neat way - he has a Dog Bakery in CA and uses his homemade jerky to ease traumatized shelter dogs out of their extreme fear state. Then he created his 'Sitting w Dogs' video channel to show people how shelter pets can be helped in so many different forms... Then he created Flip's Coffee Farm to honor his best friend pup that he rescued [and who sadly recently passed away, but after a long happy life], a Boxer who went on to help Rocky foster dogs in need and get them ready for adoption. THEN Rocky built a Quonset hut on the coffee farm to foster/rehab dogs before they can be adopted - such as Bean, who is a stray Cattle dog puppy brought into the shelter with a severely shattered broken leg. Bean's recovery video: czcams.com/video/OspuLHvRWa8/video.html My point here is that Rocky is fascinated with what snuffle toys are/can do for these shelter dogs [he saw a snuffle mat donated to the shelter and was fascinated], but I think he needs to understand better how these toys work best and why you two created your Snuffle Toy Club... and my personal opinion is that if you were to collaborate with him on a Dog Treat-making CZcams charity event, EVERYONE would benefit - most especially the education of the public about what shelter pets need to help them recover from their ordeals and get adopted, because they need their confidence and sense of security back. I dont know. It seems like a good idea in my head, not to mention fun to watch you guys create treats together. At the very least you could make a snuffle toy to promote Flip's Farm to raise rehab money for pup's like Bean. 🐶Give it a ponder if you can/would. It might be too big of an idea but it was worth mentioning to you. p.s. I watch Rocky Kanaka, Hound Hugger DIY, and Girl w Dogs videos [charity-grooms pets who are ungroomable by regular groomers because the pets have various serious issues] regularly... and I don't even have pets, I just enjoy learning from all your videos when I'm stressed out by life. lol Hugs to hounds and you!
I feel like it’s not fair that we have to stay behind when our animals cross over. God gave me a gift to help activate peoples psychic abilities so that they can connect directly with their animals. I will work on this in honor of my dog because I know he’s showing me this. Even though I have this ability, losing my dog three weeks ago has been crippling. We had an amazing 15 years together, but I expected at least one more. Losing him has been the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced. My other baby of nearly 15 years and I are having a hard time dealing with the void and silence. I have no kids or husband because my children are my kids and my companions. I honestly don’t know what to do, but I know that I have no control over it and it is the most helpless feeling in the world. I wish I could cross and be with him. I’m ready for me and all my dogs to be reunited. I just ask heaven for an easy transition to the other side in my sleep when it’s time. One day we will all be together on the other side. If you all would like a one to two hour session, please DM me on IG @boho.gem I’ll be making an animal communication website and Page soon! Sessions are only $150 1-2Hr and we don’t charge if we can’t connect you!

You are saying 2 yards what is the width measurement? Thx.
Thank you for your question. You can really make the blanket any size, for this small blanket it was one yard of the print and one yard of the white fleece the width just depended on the size of the fabric bolt. The most important part is to decide what size you want your blanket to be and then add about 6 inches to both the length and width. The extra inches will become the fringe that borders the entire blanket. Here is a link to the step-by-step instructions houndhuggerdiy.com/no-knots-blanket Hopefully this is helpful!
My dog loves these kinds of toys but she destroys them. Does the physical box come with a pattern to make additional ones? Tfs.
Thank you for your question. The physical box kit does not come with the pattern but we do offer a 25% discount on the Digital membership if you choose to become a member of both.
@@HoundHuggerDIY Thanks so much. That is fair.
I had to stop watching after 7 minutes. Ladies yapping too much. Just get to the review.
Just lost my doggie Bella on June 15th. It has been a terrible pain and loss. House is so empty and quiet without her. It has been the hardest loss i have had my entire life. She is deeply missed.
Rosie, we are so sad to hear the news of your beloved Bella. This is such a devastating time and it's easy to let the emotions of grief and guilt wave over you. Nothing else seems to matter and you go through the first days and weeks in a daze. I wish we could magically make everything better. Truly I do. Just know that someday soon, things will start to get better. You'll feel Bella's presence in a different way... she'll send you messages and little reminders that may hurt at first, but will eventually make you smile. She is a part of your soul and will be by your side the rest of your days, guiding and loving you until you meet again. Please know we send warm thoughts of comfort and support your way as you continue on your journey of healing.
❤️
This is so cute! Thanks for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

@@HoundHuggerDIY Ok thanks I’m looking for the whole kit :-)
My beautiful Lola was taken from me a few days ago, the vets kept saying they don’t know how much time she had left . I rescued her from a balcony that people kept her, I actually got her to keep my other dog company 7 years ago and it did not seem like they got on, but now our Lola has gone my other dog is depressed. I’m taking her everywhere with me to help her but she just wants to sleep on Lola’s bed. I miss her so much but am trying not to get upset to be strong for Milly.
Oh, we are so very sorry to hear about your loss of Lola. It's truly heartbreaking... both for you and your other dear pup. If you're feeling up to it, we created a Guide To Surviving Dog Loss - a 6-part email series that includes ebooks, videos and grief support to assist in your journey. One of the emails contains a guide with tips on how to help other pets with the grieving process. The collection is completely free and it will gently guide you through your journey of healing.

Thanks for the detailed information
Our pleasure, glad it was helpful!
Could you tell me how wide you cut your fabric strips? Love This and about to make one! Also how much rope was needed.
Hi, Marcia! So glad you like this project! We used ribbons that were about 1.5 - 2.5 inches wide and cut strips of fabric that were about the same width... maybe 1.5 - 2 inches. Both ribbons and fabric strips were cut at about 6-8 inches long with dove tail ends. Dollar Tree has two different thicknesses of their nautical rope. So the number of bundles you need may be different depending on what you are using. I think it took 3 bundles of the thicker rope, but I would suggest getting at least 4 bundles to ensure you have enough to complete the star shape. Hope this helps! Let us know how yours turns out!
My dog is not afraid of thunderstorms anymore, thanks to Midnight CBD dog treats. #midnightcbd
I lost my beautiful doggie Bella 8 days ago. She was my everything. My 24/7 companion, sleeping buddy, my true soulmate. Never felt this much love before. House is so empty without her. How does one go on after this?
Oh, Rosie, that's just heartbreaking. We are truly sorry to hear you lost your sweet Bella a few days ago. All of the feelings you are experiencing are normal. Grief never really ends. It's ok not to be ok, because you never really get over it - but you will get through it. It's about taking those first steps toward healing. Healing your heart doesn't mean you are over the loss. The loss is a part of you. It's shaped your life forever... just as all of those wonderful moments you had with your Bella have shaped you into the person you are today. If you'd like to check it out, we have an article on our website that helps with those first overwhelming moments. houndhuggerdiy.com/the-moment-after/ In time, we hope you're able to remember all of the wonderful times you had together, the adorable little quirks, favorite snacks - any memory that helps you change the sad story you're focusing on now. Our hearts are with you. 💔

Thank you ladies for posting your videos on dog loss grieving. I have watched all 6 and found them helpfull. On Tuesday l lost a very sweet dog whom l had for 15yrs. He was the last of a pack of 3 that we had together losing the other 2 in just the past 2 1/2 years. I have been retired for a year now, but had been working from home for 3 years prior. So this last dog was truly by my side for 4 years. I have had the most difficult time and have a hard time moving along and getting through this. I am so broken. I have been a puddle of tears. Thank you for your help..
Sharon, we are so very sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved boy. The feelings of grief and sadness you experience are totally normal... but they can surely be overwhelming at times especially when you lose your soul dog. We both have lost dogs that were 16+ years of age - and it does our hearts good to know we were able to love and spoil them for so many, many years. You gave your boy the best life possible and he gave you so much love in return - hopefully that is something that can start to heal your heart. Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. Heartfelt hugs 💔

The worst feeling is the realisation that you will never see them again and wanting them back so bad.
So sorry for your loss, Janet 😥 It's hard to lose our pups and knowing we'll never get to see them again is truly heartbreaking - they are such a big part of our lives. And no matter how much time goes by, we still miss them with our whole heart. And that’s ok. It just means we love them fully - they are a part of our soul and they remain forever with us. All that time together of laughter and love... just know your pup will always be with you wherever you go. 💔
I lost my beautiful boy in April '23 after i left him with a friend and i believe his greyhounds accidently killed him. He had only turned 6 years old. My friend says he doesn't know what happened, but i don't believe him one bit. My Waldo was truly like my only son. For 1 year i cried every single day. Went on a holiday, did lots and lots of different therapies and work, autopsy and reached out for closure of what actually happenedto my gorgeous boy. I stopped crying finally after 2 sessions of EMDR therapy but the guilt of replacing him with another dog and him not living still won't move. Ive been looking for another dog for a 8 months now (kind of as a test if im ready). Even put a deposit on one and pulled out. I don't know if this guilt is ever going to go away and if anytime will ever be right. Im scared of take the plunge.
Oh, Vittoria, our hearts are breaking to hear of your loss. We are truly sorry your beloved boy passed away in such a tragic accident. Although we could never know how you truly feel, it is understandable that you find yourself buried in guilt and sorrow. Grief can be overwhelming - and if we get stuck in guilt and sadness for months and years, it can end up becoming a replacement for the love we have lost. Try to be gentle with yourself. There will always be a part of your heart that hurts. But letting go of the sadness, forgiving yourself, and forgiving your friend, doesn't mean you let go of your beloved pup. It’s actually the opposite. When you let go of the guilt and sadness, you open your heart to celebrating the wonderful memory of your dear boy…and open yourself to new possibilities. Your beloved boy was happiest when you were happy and wouldn't want you to be sad. It's hard, I know. But whenever you're able, try to set time aside to remember the good moments you shared, no matter how small. Focus on the happiness and love you shared together. When you make this a part of your habitual routine, you avoid getting tunnel-vision on the negative and move toward a path of healing. You were lucky to have each other and if you think about all of the wonderful times you had together, maybe that's something that can help you feel good again. Gratitude is the best medicine toward healing - and remember your furry friend would want you to be at peace. He will always be a part of your soul, guiding you and giving you strength when you need it. Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. Hugs 💔

I feel the exact same way as @marcusnl66 I had to let go my baby yesterday. Ace was only 7 next month. I can’t cope with so much pain and guilt. I feel my heart was ripped off. 💔 I feel I didn’t do enough. He had neurological disease and was gradually deteriorating his quality of life was not good but perhaps I could have done more. He had bad days and good days. I checked with two vets and both agreed euthanasia was needed. But now I regret it and I feel I will never recover from this, I want my fur baby back. 😢😭😭😤The house is so lonely without him. I live alone, it was my companion, he just gave me unconditional love. I miss and love my baby dog so much!!! I don’t know how I will move on 😩 on the good days he still walked and try to run. He was blind and he kept falling down and struggled to get up. That was it, he didn’t have pain with the pills but we were not sure… maybe I could did some tests and get him better meds. But I had no money. Vet said was time but he seemed fine, vet said neurological disease is an invisible disease and so much was going on wrong on his brain. But… 😭😭😭😭 I should wait… a few months maybe… I’m torturing myself with guilt 😢
Hound !! I love this !!

💜❤️🌺Merla🌺❤️💜
I got her shots because it was required still by the Humane society to protect her from those diseases but she was having hernia problems and I did not have money to get it fixed. I know now that it was too much for her and after shits her body just wore out it was too much for her. For older dogs the humane society should not require owners to have pets have shots it can weaken their immune system but she may have been going before this too. It's okay she is no longer hurting and us with God playing and having fun in Rainbow valley with all my other pets. I will never let another pet have shots when old when they are too susceptible to infections and other things she did not have the strength to fight those shots as in the parvo it was too much. I made a mistake I should have not taken her for shots I should have just let her live out her last year without it but I can't live in the past thus us over and done I let it go and forgive me for this dumb mistake. She is in a better place now. I let this go.
My dog that i had for over 16 years passed away and the pain of losing my baby was unlike any other, speaking to a hypnotherapist definitely helped, but i can't help but think about her all the time.
Antonio, we are so very sorry to hear of your loss. This is such a heartbreaking time. Even when we share our lives with them for many years, it's never long enough. All of the feelings you are experiencing are normal. When you experience a loss so deep, it can definitely consume your every waking moment. But please try to give yourself some grace. Grief never really ends. It's ok not to be ok, because you never really get over it - but you will get through it. The only thing you can do is realize that for their entire life they were happy. You gave them that. Sometimes it hurts to remember the past, but those memories are gifts. The years of laughter and love and joy...your pup is always with you. Their soul is forever connected to yours because you two have a bond that can never be broken. You have our most sincere condolences and may you find peace with all the wonderful memories you both shared. 💔
@@HoundHuggerDIY thank you for your advice, i appreciate all of you and this channel
I had to put my doggie down yesterday. I feel sadness, anger and survivor guilt. Survivor guilt? My dog will never see blue skies again but I will. My dog will never see the aspen leaves flutter in the wind but I will. Taking it hard

I lost my girl to a car accident after she ran out in the street after greeting my friend in the front of our door. She was only two years old and I feel extremely guilty that I did not just have her greet him inside. She some times would greet him inside and other times just out front the door. She went looking for the mailman when a car that was speeding on our quiet street hit her, I believe he might have been on his phone. I feel like a negligent pet owner despite what friends and family have told me. She was with me all day everyday during my year and a half of being with her, she has left a gaping hole in my heart and I constantly feel guilt for not keeping her in the house when people enter our home.
Oh, Ricky, that's just heartbreaking. We are truly sorry to hear you lost your beloved girl in such a tragic accident. The most important thing to remember is that you did NOT purposely cause your dog’s passing. It's easier said than done, but try to be gentle with yourself. It was an accident, and it's clear you would have done things differently if you had known what would happen. It takes effort, but try to remember all the things you did right and forgive yourself. Your dear sweet girl would not want you to be sad or want you focusing your energy on how things ended. Instead, try to focus on all the wonderful times you had together, her adorable little quirks, her favorite snacks - any memory that helps you change the sad story you're focusing on now. It's clear to see her love still lives inside you and you carry her in your heart. That is her heartwarming legacy. You may never get over the grief, but you will get through it. Please know you are in our hearts as you continue on your journey of healing.
The Lord blessed me with Gracie almost 10 years. of course He knew I was going to lose my daughter and my mother three years later. When I got Gracie, she was very sick so she was always with me. I’ve lost many dogs I loved, but none compared to Gracie. She was sitting on her pillow, watching me. Gracie watched me a lot. They say when your dog stares at you. It means they love you very much . Going back to my theory . My daughter put me through a lot from the age of 15 through the age of 28. She could care if I would live or die. With that said I mourned her and cried and cried. I gave her everything she wanted, but I didn’t ever get her love. I bailed her out of all the issues she got into, but she never saw it. Every time she had issues in Miami, I flew her to Dallas, 3:01 but a mom could only take so much abuse . My Mom passed away in peace in my arms. I miss her and I wish she would still be with me. Back to Gracie. She gave me all the love My Daughter didn’t give me. The night I had to put her down that little girl took a big piece of my heart and I am just laying in bed. I’m not eating, and I wish the Lord would take me already. Losing Gracie was going to be my total rock bottom. I can envision her running around the house and howling for me when she lost me because I couldn’t be out of her sight. I hope y’all don’t think I’m crazy, although with all my losses, I feel like I’m right there .I tried to make sense of why her passing has effected me so much . The only thing I can think about is that she loved me and I loved her back . my daughter put me through hell from the age of 15 to 28. My mom loved me but I’ve had enough time to grieve. It’s a bond. No one knows how it feels. I don’t believe in this, but it’s happened. The day after I put her down. I woke up and saw her blurry laying by her my face I heard her bark. Then I woke up last night again, and she was sitting in her pillow. Last night, I went to the door to open it up for my friend and I promise I heard her running towards me. Non-denominational Christian and we don’t believe in this. I asked the Lord to bring Adrienne in a dream and it’s been over six years dream the same with my mom. Going onto finish my theory of why I’m feeling like this. Comparing this is horrible loss to my . Gracie loved me so much and never gave me any issues. She really couldn’t be without me and I couldn’t be withouther being. I saw My Daughter but My Daughter put me through a whole lot of pain. That’s the difference that Gracie saved me. There will never be another Gracie ever. She was so different and funny. She listens to me all the time and a week before she died she was still running around and playing. I begged not to take her. I know I have Him, Gracie saved my life. Please tell me what you think. I am feeling. Forgive me for the typos crying
Oh yes, what you're feeling is normal. It's not unheard of to hear or see a little one after they're gone. Our pups are part of our soul and live in our hearts wherever we go. Losing a furbaby is never easy and often a harder thing to endure than losing a family member or close friend. It’s devastating to lose a pup - especially a dog that holds such a dear place in your heart. Gracie was so lucky to have you at her side caring for her every need, just as you were fortunate to experience her true love for you. Sounds like you both had a beautiful bond and she surely will be missed. You have our most sincere condolences for your loss. Our hearts are with you. 💔
I called my pure shihtzu LOVE ON LEGS, although many years ago I am still crying. Always in my heart despite being told by the vet. GET OVER IT!
Regardless of how we grieve, it's an important part of the healing process - to feel those feelings and work through them. You may still need time to process your grief, and that's ok. As you move along through your journey, remember that ultimately our beloved pups would not want us to continue life carrying the weight of guilt, sadness and grief for the rest of our days. And just because we let go of the grief, does not mean we let go of the amazing relationship and loving bond we have with our beloved pups. Your little Love on Legs is a part of your soul and will always be in your heart forever and ever. Our pets teach us so much - that we are our best selves when we embrace love and joy and hope for brighter days ahead. There will be a time when it feels good to honor their memory with happiness and gratitude, rather than sadness and grief. It is ok to give yourself permission to continue healing the hurt. Please know our warmest thoughts are with you at this sad time.

Everyone has a different experience, and that's ok. Regardless of how we grieve, it's an important part of the healing process - to feel those feelings and work through them.

Our pets teach us so much - that we are our best selves when we embrace love and joy and hope for brighter days ahead. Our thoughts continue to be with you at this sad time.

My Papillon died of old age, at home, in her bed. After a wonderful life of runs in the park, chasing squirrels, very healthy, never alone. A very happy pup. I let nature take its course. No regrets. Only my pain remains. I will miss her forever, a truly perfect dog.
Sounds like you both had a beautiful bond and she surely will be missed. We can only imagine how lonely it must feel with her gone. Please know you have our most sincere condolences and we wish peace and comfort from all the wonderful memories you both shared. 💔
Love them both! Great idea! TFS ❤🤍💙

Thank you so much for this series. It's helped more than you'll ever know. I lost my pal on Monday morning and the feeling of sadness is overwhelming.
Please know how heartbroken we are to hear that you have lost your little pal. We are honored and humbled to know our videos have helped in some small way. You are in our thoughts and send you strength, comfort and warm wishes daily.
Day 1 without my Rocky-I had to euthanize my 15 yr old papillon :( and it hurts so much. He came into my life when he was 4 months old and I was 25 years old, he was my travel buddy, my sweet dog. He met my husband and was an amazing big brother to my 2 1/2 yr old and 7 month old baby. I can't stop crying and I feel like I should be stronger but I miss him so much. I want to keep all of his things, I walk around with his collar in my pocket and I am not ready to get rid of his water/ food bowl and I feel horrible because my daughter keeps asking for him whenever she walks by his things. I don't want to traumatize my daughter, but when will I be ready to put everything away? I miss him dearly. I am doing my best to try to cope with this horrible void. He will be my one and only dog, this pain is unbearable. I will be receiving his ashes soon and I am hoping that by him coming back home might help me just a bit. Will I ever stop crying? - wonderful video, thank you.
Please know how heartbroken we are to hear about your beloved Rocky. It's easier said than done, but try not to beat yourself up for what you're feeling. It is an expression of true love and nothing really makes those last moments easy. No matter how prepared you are, it's the most difficult thing anyone can do. Yes, there will come a day when you don't feel the need to cry. Just give yourself some grace. Feel all the feels. Crying can actually be very healing and help you process your loss. Some people do get stuck in their grief. The pain and sorrow become a comfort and they become consumed with sadness. It's as though letting go of the pain means that we're letting go of our best fur friend, which couldn't be farther from the truth. Think about when our pups are happiest....Remember how Rocky's whole body lit up when you were happy? The twinkle in his eyes, his quick wagging tail, and his tippy toe dances on the floor. All he wanted was for you to smile and enjoy life to its fullest. And he still does. Our little loved ones wouldn't want us to be miserable forever, so it's important that we move through the pain and get to the other side. In the next few weeks or months, whenever the time is right, give yourself some TLC and try to focus on the good times. It's hard, but important if you're going to heal. It doesn’t matter how much time goes by, there will always be a part of your heart that hurts. And that’s ok. It just means you loved him fully - he is a part of your soul - he shaped your life and will remain with you forever. Hopefully the memories that make you grieve now are the ones that will one day make you smile.
