Meet Ren…
Ren before his costume
™
…an adorable Terrier-mix, who also just so happens to be a Go Team Therapy Dog. One of the “clients” he heals is an Alzheimer’s patient who was a WWII pilot. Ren’s lady-servant, Crystal, reached out to me about a specialty Aviator dog costume she saw on the web. That was mine!!!
What she was most excited for was that I make “custom-fit” costumes. Because, what dog is really a typical size now a days? Through some patient measuring on her end, as typically finding a costume to fit Ren was difficult with such a wide-barrel chest. She sent me his specs and I started.
Realizing that my usual Aviator costume had an Aviator cap with simple goggles, and Ren had erect ears. Which is a challenge as it would just look silly if I made holes for them to stick out of. So, I designed a special pair of Goggles, or shall I say, “Dog Goggs (as Doggles™ is taken)!” And “WALLA”, our Flying Ace is ready to heal the world in Style!
After Crystal received Ren’s costume, she was soo excited, she told her friend who has a ferret that may need “some thing” special, too. Aside, she told me not to think some nut was contacting me, but a serious customer wanting to dress their serious pet.
As a designer of pet costumes (who’d of thought?), I’m looking forward to the challenges and the smiles I will get as well as everyone else that cross these Angels’ paths. After-all, pets are THE biggest form of therapy and healing.
