About me: Little Monsters, formerly known as Puppins., started out just focusing on dog toys and treats but now includes kitty toys and stuffed monsters for kids! Inspiration comes from Nelson Buckles, the cutest American Bulldog we ever did see. Nelson has been the subject of magnets, jewelry and greeting cards. He's even been re-created in sock form!!
Little Monsters and Puppins. toys can be found at Earthly Delights and Bone Appetit, both in Kalamazoo, MI, at Ann Arbor Biscuit Company in Ann Arbor and in New Port Richey, FL at Doggie Cakes!
We started making toys and treats for Nelson soon after he became part of our family- in October 2006. Our products are strength and taste-tested by Nelson and some of his closest friends- English Bulldogs, Pit Bulls, Golden Retrievers, a Black Lab, a Rottweiler, a Jack Russel Terrier, a Weimaraner and a Pit Bull/Boxer/Bullmastiff mix.
Who I'd like to meet: People and pups who are interested in handmade products for dogs. Other DIY-ers. Dogs who rival Nelson in cuteness.
