Comfort Toys

Ally the Alligator is Prince's favorite chew toy, tough enough to survive his aggressive chewing and gentle enough on his gums when he was still teething as a pup.

Prince was obsessed with the maplewood and bacon flavors in this set. They held up to his chewing for months, and the size worked perfectly for his 20-something pounds.

I leaned on tips like these when I first started walking Prince. Nothing fancy, just the basics that make daily walks easier for you and your dog.

We used one of these slip leads on our walks. It gave me better control without fighting Prince's pulling, and it held up through every kind of weather we walked in.

My puggle's favorite treat in-between meals. Pairs well with Nutrish dry food.

Rachael Ray's Nutrish Dish was Prince's go-to. He always went for the chicken and brown rice over the beef, no contest.

Bedding & Rest

Puggles carry extra weight on their joints. This kept him comfortable in his last years, and it’s one of the easiest ways to make a small dog’s daily life gentler.

I'm having this made to commemorate Prince's passing, something soft to hold onto that carries his memory. 

If you're grieving a dog right now, a keepsake like this can give you a physical way to feel close to them.

Music & Calm

We used these to record his bark so I'd never lose the sound of it.

I made this playlist for my puggle while he was here, songs and sounds that helped him settle and relax. 

Now it’s one of the small ways I keep a piece of our routine alive. 

Play it for your own pup, or just for yourself when you need a moment of calm.
