Happy Tuesday every one! Today we thought we’d share a little about Gatsby, 2 of his (okay maybe our) favourite things. While Gatsby has about doubled in size since this photo shoot (boy are we behind around here) I am still so excited to share the adorable photos with you and these 2 products made by small businesses right here in Ontario, Canada. Gatsby’s super dapper denim & gold leash and collar by HOUND and his custom puppy teepee by Finally Friday Teepees. Both products made with love and the people behind the brands are so passionate about what they do as well, you guys know I love supporting Canadian companies as much as possible!

There is SO very much about our lovable furry friend that I want to share with you but today isn’t the full story of Gatsby, that is coming soon I promise. Today I really wanted to share these cute moments captured by Bettina Bogar with you, to get a little glimpse of his personality with the kids – boy this little guy is so chill and sweet but still has SUCH a personality! I truly feel like he was meant to be a part of our family and to be honest he is the easiest of the kids haha ;). He loves the camera but more like sticking his face in the lens and he sure knows how to pose too!

Now, we were so lucky to receive this super cute denim leash and collar set from the HOUND Collection based out of Toronto, Canada – seriously, love this set SO much. It’s that perfect bit of masculine and I mean, you guys know I love denim every thing and gold so it was a given I wanted to feature that set on my boy ha ha! Wouldn’t you!? You can find the vintage denim collar {here} and the leash {here}, I mean vintage denim…swoon! The quality is exceptional and I love that I am supporting a local business when shopping from them. They have so many styles from black leather with the gold HOUND bar or even their new Jellies Collection of waterproof leashes and collars that are perfect for those dogs that love swimming or beach play or like or guy that enjoy the woods! You can check out their Jellies Collection {here}. PS They’ve been so generous to share an exclusive discount with our readers and followers for anything in their shop, simply use the code ‘BONJOUR15″ for 15% off!!!!!!!

“Jellies are an amazing new addition to HOUND Collection! Totally waterproof, super durable and ready for play in all kinds of weather, the HOUND Jellies are a pup’s equivalent to rubber boots! Get muddy, go swimming (even in the ocean!), frolic in the snow – whatever your pup does hard – let them do it in the Jellies!”

And now, Gatsby’s oh-so-cute custom tent that was made for him by the lovely Tammy of Finally Friday Designs who makes the sweetest teepees and you can find the Gatsby Teepee below {here}! I saw a fellow influencer feature a puppy teepee before we brought Gatsby home and I was so excited to chat with Tammy about her launching a pet tent for her fur mama customers, Gatsby loves this thing and so do the kids and I can tell you that it’s made so well and at such a great price point! You can click {here} to shop Gatsby’s striped teepee and be warned, there are SO many cute styles – I am especially in love with the floral and lace one she has listed in her Etsy Shop. I love that it’s listed as a pet tent and it’s such a great alternative to a crate for the trusted pet and just set it up for when he or she wants some down time and just teach the kids to leave them be (easier said than done I know haha). The kids love this teepee as much as Gatsby does and when we finish our basement we want to order a big one from Tammy for the kids to read in and set up some string lights and comfy pillows inside. We used to have a big teepee in our last house and it was so fun, they make sure great photo shoot props too! 😉
