It all started many years ago when Lodi and Lewi were young. Nichol was looking for stylish collars for Lodi and Kelly, Lewi's mom was doing the same. Nichol (that's me)having done a small amount of sewing, thought I could make them some collars. So off to the fabric store I went- back home with ribbon and other necessary ingredients- the first attempt was not so pretty but I perfected them and finally started giving some away. Then actually thought I could give this a go as a real live business. It has started very small but we are now in a few stores around the country and love being on Etsy!

The real story started though when I was walking in what would become our neighborhood and met a person walking this beautiful dog- a weimaraner. This turned out to be Melinda and Lodi's eventual dog mom- Lucy. From that day on I dreamed of having a weimaraner and couple years later Lucy was expecting and I was in line to receive one of her pups! Lucy's parents in the meantime had moved a few hours away but none the less we still visited the new puppys often- Lodi was the only girl. The week before Christmas we got to bring our 8 week old Lodi home- the love of our lives!! One of my neighbors (Kelly) had considered getting one of Lucy's pups but just wasn't sure- all she had to do however was lay her eyes on Lodi and the next day we were in the car headed over to pick up the only pup remaining- Lewi. Kelly decided to spell it this way to kind of go along with the way I had spelled Lodi. So you see that when I was searching for the perfect name for this new venture of mine- Lodi and Lewi was the perfect choice!

It is sad for me to say but Lodi and Lewi are no longer with us but I continue to honor their names but making high quality dog gear.
