The fabulous Jack Jack Daniels, a Yorkie from Philadelphia was shown sporting our Hand Knit Blue Dog Sweater! This photo has actually been quite popular and we're tremendously grateful to his parents, Elaine & Tim for their willingness to let Jack model for us!

Discovering Jack Jack

How did we ever discover such an adorable Yorkie? The story begins with my husband doing his "last walk" duties....(his favorite time of the day - not really....LOL) One night he was out when he met an adorable young couple contemplating moving into the neighborhood where they would reside with their two pups, Jack - Jack the Yorkie and Chewbacca (Chewy), the Wheaten Terrier. As many dog owners know, when you meet other dog owners with the same breed, there is an instant connection! Same was true with this fateful meeting! Tim & Elaine thought Seamus was adorable (still a puppy) and thrilled to know Chewy would have a friend in the neighborhood...thus signing a lease shortly thereafter.

My husband, being the lovely, quiet, and soft-spoken boy that he is, failed to mention the couple that he met on his walk....weeks go by.... One night, I was out with Seamus and heard an unfamiliar voice calling his name. Having no message from hubby about the cute couple that loves Wheatens from his previous encounter, I had no idea who these people were, nor how they knew his name. My mind wandered...How is Seamus famous? Did he do something naughty?? Was he trying to find a new forever home??? Tim & Elaine filled me in on the meeting with my husband a few weeks earlier and needless to say we became fast friends. Nightly "last walks" were a ritual during our time on the UES and we of course wanted to highlight Jack Jack in our K9 Knits Campaign!

Jack Jack's Dog-i-tude

So what's this little 5lb Yorkie like? He's a super star! He has a HUGE dog-i-tude, never likes to be left behind, enjoys carrying his leash, has a fetish for Sesame Street characters, biting Seamus's beard, and loves the dehydrated chicken strips! He has all the spunk of a big dog, but compacted in a 5lb Yorkie!

Why name a blog Bringing Sexy Back??

Bringing Sexy Back

Have you heard the song "SexyBack" by Justin Timberlake? According to Wikipedia..."SexyBack" became Timberlake's first number one single on the Billboard Hot 100, staying seven weeks at the top spot. Let's just say this song is HOT, viral, and addictive! To be frank, of COURSE we aspire to have our tiny K9 Knits venture to be all of those things! We want to be thought of as hot, viral, addictive and part of pop culture. With that said, we welcome all of our followers to the Bringing Sexy Back blog, by K9 Knits.

K9 Knits

Our venture, K9 Knits is a collaboration of two women, myself and my lovely mother! We have very different views on pretty much everything, but we started this venture because we both had plenty of time on our hands, have talents we thought we could share with others and LOVE our dogs! (more about us on a future post - don't worry, we won't hold back)

The Bringing Sexy Back Blog will have the following:

❀ Fun info about our Etsy shop and bringing unique and SEXY products to the handmade/indie dog marketplace.

❀ Tons of pictures will be posted of our inspirations including YOUR dogs! Dogs that are modeling our knits, dogs that inspire us, and plenty of our pups (Wheaten Terrier, Brittany and future Kerry Blue puppy) Yes, we want this to be a very interactive relationship with Dogs (I know you pups have your own blogs, Twitter & Facebook accounts) and the owners/humans that adore them so much!

❀ We will search high and low for new dog products that we find unique, original and hopefully handmade!

❀ Lastly, we will detail more about our marketplace - Etsy and other fantastic Etsy sellers creating wonderful handmade items for the dogs we love so much!
