The dogs often take second fiddle, now that there are kids in the house to contend with. However - one of my favorite homemade items is this lovely crate cover. Personalized, and complete with matching crate pad. It even has a place to put dog show ribbons.
This was a must have when I was doing agility with my Kobe - and one of the most creative, most awesome things I've ever owned. The person who made it for me was "practicing" - so she wouldn't even charge me (and I would have gladly paid good money for this item!)
It's the little things. Just please ignore the nose in the corner that does not belong to Kobe.
