Dang yall. June is over. With family visits for half the month and lots of in-person events on the weekends, I haven’t taken the chance to really celebrate PRIDE. So on the last day of the month that's exactly what I’m doing.

“Choosing” to be an ally never really felt like an active choice to me. It has come quite natural as someone who grew up in an environment they never felt they belonged in. Like a square peg trying to go in a round hole, finding connections with likeminded people in a small southern town was a challenge. Being taught at a young age to love and accept all but also hearing slurs, bad mouthing and general judgement has always been a conflict in my mind.

From this I learned to create my own set of morals with inspiration from the world I grew up in. Awareness of others lived experiences, realizing my own privileges and fully understanding that individualism is what makes people worth caring for has been key to discovering why going out of my way to make someone feel accepted is so important to me.

So in terms of Pupdog, I’ve had PRIDE flag collars since my first year in business. These have not been the most profitable or biggest sellers in Pupdog history, but what they do offer is invaluable to me. What I hold value in is seeing a person smile and point at the display in my booth. Watching them run over with excitement about feeling represented in a space they did not expect. Sometimes this translates to sales, sometimes not. But they know they are welcomed in my shop without anyone saying a word.

This is a year-round mission for Pupdog, not just one month. Your dog might be wearing our gear, but I want it to be clear we are also celebrating YOU.

It seems relevant to mention I'll be set up at the 7th Annual Mat-Su Pride celebration at the Alaska State Fairgrounds on July 11th. This event is being hosted by The Queen's Guard and if you attend please come by and say hi!

Buckle in. This is a long one.

As a small business politics are supposed to be off the table. To maximize sales, you should appeal to everyone. But who is everyone? To be inclusive by appealing to those who’s mission it is to exclude, harm and try to justify the actions of masked “officers” is not a message I want to send.

Let's be clear, I am for the deportation of CONVICTED immigrants after due process is given and assessed on a case-by-case bases. Just like I am for the same treatment for American citizens when a crime is committed. I am NOT for pushing aside the rights laid out to Americans in our own Constitution and that is precisely what is happening in our country.

$5 from the sale of each bandana will be donated to the National Immigrant Justice Center () NIJC’s mission is “To establish and defend the legal rights of immigrants regardless of background and transform the immigration system to one that affords equal opportunity for all.” Their website has also been added to my linktree in bio if you wish to donate to them directly.

These bandanas are not meant to encourage bringing your pet to a possibly dangerous situation but as an everyday form of protest. Please make precautions to not expose your animals to these “less-lethal” weapons that might show up when ICE is present.

Quantities are limited. I have screen printed and sew each bandana from thrifted/secondhand fabrics to maximize donations. Additional printings of these fabrics are not available. If interest is there, I will add more patterns as they sell.

Lastly, be the person your dog thinks you are.

New Year New Gear!

I'm so grateful for all the new and returning faces I've met this past year. 2025 made Pupdog feel welcomed to the Alaskan craft/vendor community and in honor of that I have curated a all new Alaskan themed collection!

Arctic Fish, Snowy Mountains and Alaskan Fireweed are now live in our Etsy storefront!

Sending all the best wishes to everyone in 2026! Thank each and everyone of you for all the love and support ♥
