Happy Birthday Furry Twang Southern Dog Wear

Wow! Can you believe Furry Twang has been around for a year already!
It's amazing to me how fast it has all gone by. Sometimes I think I forget how much has been done and what I've actually accomplished with Furry Twang so I thought I'd do a little timeline to remember.

The Beginning!
August/September: The idea was born/researched/and ready to launch!
October 2008: Furry Twang Southern Dog T-shirts was launched! We started with the 'Tickled Pink' Dog T-shirt to raise awareness for Breast Cancer Month. Our only product to begin with was the Dog T-shirt.

March 2009: We must've gotten spring fever, b/c we did A LOT this month!!
-Attended our first event! Paws For A Cause right here in Charleston, SC. People fell in love with the t-shirts and had to have them!
-Shipped out our first wholesale order to Dogadillo in Austin, TX.
-Launched our Etsy shop
-Added the Love Your State Collection with phrases such as 'Texas Sized', 'Georgia Peach', and 'My Tide Rolls In Alabama'.

April 2009:
-Attended Bark To The Park in Columbia, SC. Tees were an even bigger hit!
-Expanded the line and added Dog Bandanas and Dog Park Totes

May 2009:
-Expanded even more and added Dog Collars.
-Attended Pet Palooza in Charlotte, NC. Had an awesome turnout and came home with a big pile of orders to fill.

June 2009:
Launched our Chicky Twang line on Etsy! Chicky Twang offers items such as baby one-pieces, greeting cards, key chains, toddler tanks, and now Ladies Organic T-shirts!

July 2009:
-Furry Twang items were picked up by 2 more dog boutiques!
--Pupcakes just up the road in Columbia, SC
--Tailwaggers all the way in D'Iberville, MS
-New Doodles were added this month. We welcomed the Doodle Bug, Crab, Turtle, Paw Dots, & Polka Dots!!
September 2009:
We teamed up with a local adoption center and spay/neuter clinic in Charleston, SC called Pet Helpers. Once a quarter, we'll be donating bandanas to them to give to their furry little guys when they get adopted.

Along the way we were featured in many different blogs, websites, and publications such as Dog Tipper & Barkability.
The biggest of all happened this very month! We managed to snag an awesome feature spot in the Buzz section of CHARLESTON MAGAZINE!! It's a great way to celebrate a 1 year anniversary! Check us out on page 52 of the October 2009 issue!

It's amazing to me that this tiny little idea in my head has become this big thing that has consumed my life for the past year. I can honestly say I've enjoyed every single minute of it and I can't wait to see where things go in year 2!! Possibilities are endless and there's NO LIMITS!! Stay Tuned!
