Friday Fetch: The Life of Ryley

Posted on by

While on one of my many searches to find a cool and new product to show you for my Friday Fetch installment on the blog I came across a super fun site that sells some unique pet products. And because I couldn’t decide on just one item to share I decided why not share all my favorites!

the life of ryley

Here’s the story behind the pet products sold on The Life of Ryley…

The Life of Ryley was born out of frustration!  Over a decade ago, designer Tracy Stillman was trying to find a collar for her soft-coated wheaten terrier named Ryley.  How could it be that no collar existed that effectively showcased Ryley’s unique personality? Much less a collar that appealed to Tracy’s level of style and sophistication?  This was one spectacular duo that needed more than just an ordinary old collar.

So Tracy created her own collar just for Ryley…and from there The Life of Ryley blossomed.

The company took a little catnap for a few years.  But things kicked up again when The Life of Ryley was introduced to Colin Cuneo, a business developer and dog-lover drawn to the sense of adventure and go-gettum’ attitude that dogs bring about.

Together, Tracy and Colin have brought The Life of Ryley back with a full line of products that boast style, class and quality for pet owners who understand that sensible accessories can still be fashionable accessories.

Sadly, Ryley passed on June 8, 2010. But the rebirth of this company serves as a tribute to this angel who will be forever loved.

Check out these fun products from The Life of Ryley:

Dog Agility necklace (for the humans) to keep your clicker and whistle right where you need it – such a fun idea!

Friday Fetch: Vintage Inspired Bowls

Posted on by

Today’s Friday Fetch comes from Ancient Industries. They are noted purveyors of traditional household goods and clothing. They travel to various destinations around the British Isles, Europe and America, looking for useful objects that have been in production for decades, centuries, and millenia. And lucky for us they are also purveyors of pet goodies!

These bauer pottery dog bowls are bright and fun…just like me! Created in Los Angeles in the 1930s, the colours of Bauer Pottery were inspired by the orange grove, the palm tree, and the sky. I’d like one in every color please!

$30 each at Ancient Industries

And if you happen to be of the feline variety, they also carry cat bowls.
