Athena Finally Gets Sirius v.2

Two of my most favorite things that I've ever purchased for Athena are her custom Sirius Republic collars that I got her back in December.  Jen from Sirius Republic so kindly agreed to let me send her fabric to make Athena's one-of-a-kind collars which I think match her personality perfectly.  Seeing as my last Sirius Republic purchase was six months ago, I got the itch to order a couple of new collars.

I justified my purchase by telling B that Athena needed new collars as a birthday/gotcha day gift.  Once again, Jen let me send in my custom picked fabrics and she made Athena two beautiful 1" martingale collars.

I love that wherever we go, people always compliment Athena's "outfits" and will often ask where we got her collars from.  Of course, we always give them the scoop about Sirius Republic and how wonderful of a business they are.  I absolutely love that their collars are handmade in California and that they donate a portion of their profits to animal rescues.

I'm so excited to have two new Sirius Republic collars to add to our collection and wardrobe rotation!  I don't know how I'm going to decide which collar to dress Athena in for each event now that we have four, though.  I'm also ridiculously already planning the colors of collars that I'd like to order next AND I still can't get the gray Sugar Skulls collar out of my head for another future purchase.

So, which one of Athena's new collars do you like best?  Are you a Sirius Republic addict like I am?

Athena Finally Gets Sirius

Ever since discovering the world of dog blogging, I have admired the beautiful collars that many of the famous dogs wear.  Our Waldo Bungie, Two Pitties in the City, Love and a Six-Foot Leash, and Kate with a Camera all showcase their dogs wearing stunning Sirius Republic collars.

So of course, a Sirius Republic collar has been on my wish list for many months now.  I will admit that I am an obsessed Sirius Republic fan and stalk check their website frequently for new fabrics and styles.

However, being the fabric addict that I am, I contacted Sirius Republic and asked if I could have a custom collar made with the fabric of my choice.  They so kindly obliged and so I set out to my favorite fabric store in search of a perfect fabric.  My main objective was to choose a fabric that would make people ask, "what's her name" instead of the "what's his name" that we typically get asked.  Of course I couldn't pick just one fabric while at the store, so spoiled Athena received TWO custom collars for Christmas!

I chose to order one 1" martingale and one 1.5" martingale to mix it up a little.

Athena has been wearing her new collars as an early Christmas present.  Both collars turned out perfectly and we receive tons of compliments on them wherever we go.

Do your dogs wear Sirius Republic collars?  What style of collar is your favorite (martingale, limited slip, buckle, etc.) ?
