Since we’ve become the new owners of Hawai`i Doggie Bakery, we’ve been so lucky to have met some really great local dog business owners. One of our favorites are the folks and pup behind Lei Woof, who make beautiful handmade doggie leis. The pup’s name is Beau, and he is an adorable Shih Tzu who is simply adored by his owners. He is so loved that doing something special for his 2nd birthday was simply a MUST, and that’s where we were brought in to create something exciting.
Since Beau’s name is pronounced like “Bow,” as in “Bow-tie,” his owners asked if we could make Fish-n-Poi flavored Bow Tie Biscuits! At first we thought, sure, no problem! We’ll just go look for a bowtie shaped cookie cutter. But then we thought about it some more and we said no…we’re Hawai`i Doggie Bakery…we can do better! And with the help of Pinterest (we’re obsessed!), we came up with a 3D bowtie biscuit just for Beau! And because we love his cute little face so much, we secretly grabbed a photo of him to create light blue colored custom labels for the packaging, and finished it all off with a paw print ribbon.
Beau had his birthday paw-ty at Aloha Dog Daycare, and this generous dog gave out “Adora-Beau’s” to all of his doggie friends. You can check out more photos of Beau and his paw-ty on his Instagram. His name is beau_theshihtzu and he has over 1,300 followers!
Thanks to Beau’s humans for the special request, it was soo much fun we had trouble sitting on the idea and not ruining the surprise. If you have a special request for biscuits – or anything else dog treat related – you can contact us here. And don’t forget to check out Lei Woof on their website and facebook!
