One of the many joys of being a pet blogger are the people that I am lucky enough to meet along this wild and wacky journey. The talent that so many of them possess is mind-boggling. I can barely keep up with two blogs, and there are so many talented bloggers who have a myriad of interests that many have turned into lucrative ventures. Today I am thrilled to introduce you to one of them, many of you already know her!
I have been reading the charming blog Coccolino My Mini Pet Pig for quite some time, and find his adventures to be entertaining, humorous and delightful! One day recently I was reading, and learned that Coccolino's Mom, (Katie), was opening her own shop on Etsy, and she was showcasing the most adorable cat beds there!
See for yourself:
From Coccolino Creations "We are huge animal lovers and we want to help them all and since that is impossible we are taking a percentage of the proceeds of EVERY sale to put towards pet beds and pet blankets that we will make and donate. Your purchase will help animal shelter pets be comfortable too."
I fell completely in love with these beds and contacted Katie and asked if she would be interested in being featured on our blog. To my complete and utter joy, she accepted!
Tonight, while reading the description of her shop, I realized it was only fitting that Cody was featuring her on his blog! Read this excerpt about her shop and then I will tell you why:
"Coccolino” means “little cuddlebug” in Italian and is
also the name of our mischievous but irresistible pet mini pig. Coccolino is the cuddliest pet we have ever had (we’ve had
them all!). He would cuddle – and eat – all day long if he could.
With him in mind, we have named our pet shop Coccolino
Creations because we want to emphasize that we hand make every
item to be as cuddly as possible for your pet.
We make items for all kinds of pets: pet pigs, dogs, cats,
rabbits, etc. We strive to make your pet comfy and warm and we hope our pet
products bring you abundant cuddles."
When I adopted Cody, his foster mother referred to him as being a "little cuddlebug" and our Vet also has called him the same thing many times since. To this day, Cody is MY "little cuddlebug". It was meant to be that we feature Coccolino's Mom!
Working with Katie was a complete joy. We emailed back and forth, she sent me fabric swatches to choose from and the entire process was a breeze. Then, Cody's bed arrived!
It arrived beautifully wrapped with a charming card and had information about the bed. When I removed the bed from the packaging I was taken with the superb craftsmanship, attention to detail, the SOFTNESS, OH THE SOFTNESS! (It made ME want to curl up and go to sleep on it!!) Want to hear one of the BEST parts about this bed? It is REVERSIBLE!!!!! There are TWO DIFFERENT SIDES!!
THE BLUE SIDE
Cody found a sunpuddle and began making biscuits, this bed brought out the ULTIMATE sign of CONTENTMENT!!!
NOW THE GRAY SIDE!!
Bed prices range from $25-$46, depending on the size of the cat, dog (or even a mini pet pig!)
Cody LOVES the kitties all over the side of the bed!
Katie tries to add new products almost daily, she often hosts give-aways and promotions and LOVES her customers nearly as much as she loves Coccolino!! (Well, maybe not THAT much! Kidding!!) She is also happy to work with you to create a custom project or gift.
Katie also likes to spoil her customers with BONUS SURPRISES every now and then. Check out the bonus surprise that she gave to our boy Dakota!!!
A DOG BONE TOY!!!
That was such a surprise and so incredibly thoughtful! Toy prices are on average about $5-$7. Dakota's has a "squeaker" in it and he has had this toy for a couple of weeks now and it is still there!
As a treat for our readers, Katie is offering a special 15% OFF DISCOUNT CODE!! The code is Cody15 and will be valid until MARCH 11th. ALSO: THERE WILL BE A "TOKEN OF APPRECIATION" for the FIRST FIVE PEOPLE who purchase either a BED or a BLANKET!! Click here to visit her shop now!
Now, if you will excuse me, Cody wants to take a nap....
Thank you for my PAWTASTIC BED!! I LOVE IT!!!!!
Love, Cody
