Big Exciting Changes!

Posted on by Amanda Jackson

I know I’ve been kinda neglectful of my blog lately, and for that I am sorry. But it was all for a good cause. We have been making some super great improvements on our collars here at Mimi Green and yes the prices have gone up a bit, but let me explain…

We designed a new line of collars and leashes for a super cool company (I can’t tell you who yet, it is still under wraps!) and I had to go looking for new colors of webbing. While doing that I stumbled upon a company that makes the COOLEST colors of webbing — the only thing is that their webbing is twice as thick as the one we were used to using.

After much deliberation, we decided that this new webbing was the way for us to go. The colors are amazing, the strength is unrivaled, and the feel of it in your hands is fantastic.

So basically, we have spent the past month re-making everything! Our studio is a huge mess since we still have the old webbing so that we can send that to our current retailers who need to add to their stock, and we have the new webbing that will begin to ship out to our customers this coming week.

I can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks! We love the change, I think it totally transformed our collars which in my opinion already rocked! (not to toot my own horn, but they do right?!)

As for the price increase, the benefits will be worth it!

One: we have the new webbing which is BEAUTIFUL!

Two: after the new line comes out (which will happen in a few weeks!) you will be able to find Mimi Green in a many more upscale doggie boutiques in your area. If all goes well, hopefully most people will be able to buy Mimi locally.

I can’t wait to tell you all who we are working with for this new line and show you how awesome it turned out! More to come very soon on that…

Mimi Green in her natural environment….

Posted on by Amanda Jackson

I've been wanting to post these photos for over a month now and just haven't had time!  I met Nicole at     3 Dogs and a Chick  when I fell in love with her Adopt a Dog Shirts (witch I now own!) She placed a wholesale order with us and we have developed a great friendship!  Someday I want to go out to Ft. Walton Beach Fl to see her fabulous shop. Until then, I have these photos — doesn't her store make Mimi look so good!?

These next photos are from before she started carrying Mimi, but I want you to see how cute the store is

Bottle Baby Olive

Posted on by Amanda Jackson

Look what I caught little olive doing:

She totally didn’t see what the problem was…

Cessie had to go and tell her…

So Olive very reluctantly pushed it away.

And spent the rest of the afternoon sulking.

Cessie had to console her…

And then all three dogs went and cuddled.

That was yesterday. Today I caught her with Auggie’s bottle again, but this time she chewed the nipple off! Good thing she is so cute and sweet!
I wonder if she was bottle fed — she seems to have the sucking thing down!

Black Beauties

Etta has no idea what to think of Olive. Neither do we really. See Olive came from, well, a family that maybe shouldn’t have owned dogs. When I met her I could see that she was underfed and VERY scared of people. I wasn’t sure that she was “my dog” since she wouldn’t even come near me, but my heart told me that I needed to help this girl out.

She is super sweet. Doesn’t have a single aggressive bone in her body, doesn’t bark, and gets along with the other dogs smashingly.  And look how beautiful she is! Her black coat is so shiny — totally stunning dog.

Problem is this: she is very withdrawn. We have had her here since New Years Eve and I still don’t feel like we have seen her personality. Poor thing has the weight of the world on her shoulders. I can’t tell if she is happy/ sad, cold/ hot, hungry…etc..  It is super sad to see an animal in such emotional distress.

I am worried that she will never open up, she doesn’t trust people anymore. She knows her new name, but she won’t come to it. In fact, if you want to pick her up you have to chase her around the house. I am doing everything I can think of to make her comfortable, but it isn’t working. I bought her a new bed, we have been taking her on walks, feeding her yummy food. Olive is so timid that she wouldn’t take a treat from my hand until yesterday. I have to beg her to eat too, for some reason she is scared of meal time.

If anyone has experience with a withdrawn animal, I’d love to know what came of it. She is such a gentle animal, I can’t believe that anyone hurt her. But now I don’t know how to bring her back and I want to so badly!

Cessie really likes her, which shocks me since she isn’t that into any other dog she has met. That must mean something right!!
