New collar alert!
If you haven't discovered them already, I'm about to make you want to reach for your wallet. Jax & Moonie is a company that produces handmade leather collars; you may be thinking, there's nothing super special about that, but stay with me for just another second - as accessories, nay, necessary companions to the collar are little gems called Bark Marks: leather bands that slide onto the collar with stamped locations or number coordinates recording the cool places you and your dog have been. Did your jaw drop? Mine did. It's brilliant.
These beautiful, non-dyed leather, Been There collars are soft, eco-friendly, and made here in the USA. Red detail stitching is hand sewn and adds an additional feeling of top shelf quality. But it is the Bark Marks that make my adventurous heart swoon - imagine returning home from that epic trip with your best woof and you have the keepsake photos, but you aren't going to look at them every day: you WILL look at your dog every day and seeing that Bark Mark representing your trip right there on the collar will bring back all the memories. It's like a charm bracelet for your dog!
Selecting the places to put on the Bark Marks was such a wonderful experience for me - the KBDs and I have been to some really neat places. What to choose, what to choose!

I knew the collar would be for Rex, since Fly's fur absorbs collars like the Blob; I also knew that his first Bark Mark would say "Portugal" "Alaska" to represent his birthplace and his forever home and that crazy trip between the two places.
Rex's Been There collar records the awesome adventures we have taken together and the milestone accomplishments we have experienced; it also represents plans for future journeys, because I am totally planning trips just so I can add more beautiful Bark Marks to his collar!
Jax & Moonie's website is such a pleasant place to spend some internet time and they have a cute and helpful how-to video for making sure you are happy with your collar's size. They are also just plain nice people and will put a smile on your face if you correspond with them. You can find their other social places on Instagram and Pinterest if you need drool worthy photos.

As always, this review was totally independent and Jax & Moonie didn't ask for it, nor do they even know I've written it yet - all opinions are my own!
