And now, into your home.
Wow, you actually clicked on the About Us page! Well, we're all about making the garden an awesom-er place than it already is and what better way than by paying homage to our agility (or non-agility) dogs!
I wish I had an extraordinary story about how we got started in this little business, but it's really kind of simple…I love agility…I love gardening…I love and married a welder. To top off all this love flying around, it dawned on me at a trial that I had never seen a garden item that related to agility.
So I asked the hubby to make a few jumping dogs (which he can do because he can make anything… really…anything!). I took them to a few trials I was going to be showing at and had a good response. And requests for different dog breeds.
From there, we began making leash holders, pot stickers, ribbon holders and MACH bar holders. I'll do a design for any breed, just ask and if you have an idea for an item you'd like us to make, again…just ask!
We're a husband/wife team (awww). Krysta has been a graphic designer since 1999 and worked for a large direct mail magazine for 19 years. In September 2016, she happily left that job to pursue growing Paws in the Patch. As a 'cushion', she went back to coaching swim team. She had started coaching at 14 and continued through high school, college and after. When Paws grew, it became too much to handle family, a full time job, Paws and coaching. After leaving coaching for 5 years, Krysta was happy to go back - 25 years of coaching and counting!
Paul has been welding since 1994 and works full-time as the production manager for a manufacturing company.
We both take pride in our work and are committed to giving you a product that is well-made, well-designed and just looks really freekin' cool in your home or garden!
