About this Product
Minky Top Knot Pillow With Heart Embroidery
Do you like a variety of options? So do we. That's why "round dog grooming pillows", aka top knot pillows, have been added to our collection of fine grooming pillows. This style works very well with the tiniest of dogs and puppies to small and medium sized. We are pleased to say, it's getting lots of positive feedback. Maybe because it's our most comfortable top knot pillow! It's so very soft and very plush.
The heart mbroidery and personalization is included in the price. There is no additional fee for personalization. I can only add one name due to the embroidery space available. If a smaller sized font is not a problem for you, it's possible to add a couple of short names.
The round top knot/grooming pillow was designed to simplify the often challenging task of making the top knot. Dogs must be trained to lay still during the process. As we all know, some little dogs are wiggle butts and squirmy.
Minky fabrics are used for this pillow. Smooth Minky on the front and a faux fur Minky on the back. We use the best Minky on the market. Never the faux Minky from discount fabric stores. Only the best for our customers!
Choose your pillow colors, your thread colors and add your pets name during check out. Once your order has been placed, we will send you font stye proofs in your dog's name. This allows you to see exactly how your dog's name will look when stitched, which makes your font decision much easier.
Fuzzy Fur Paws
Meet the Maker
"It all began with a dream".
Hello and welcome to Fuzzy Fur Paws! I'm Teresa, your maker and a dog mom. I've been sewing and crafting since childhood. I've always had "busy hands", as is reflected in my chosen career as a forth generation barber/stylist. I owned my own barbering business for over 20 years in Little Rock. I also worked for ten years with dog rescue groups, fostering and helping them to find loving homes and a second chance at love.
I the earlier days, I was blessed to have a great sewing teacher, my grandmother Nona. She was a fantastic seamstress and owned her own fabric store. She taught me how to sew and many other handcrafts when I was young. I can remember sitting on her lap as she sewed on her Singer treadle sewing machine. I was instantly hooked. She passed down her wealth of knowledge of fine fabrics and sewing techniques to me.
I spent many years sewing for my family and the public. I made and designed pageant dresses for babies and toddlers when my daughter was young. I also enjoyed all kinds of handcrafts such as crochet, macrame, wreath making, cross stitch embroidery, and "sew" much more.
As a passionate animal lover, it's always been my dream of someday working in the pet industry. I especially love dogs, birds and bunnies. I currently have one Shih Tzu, one Morkie and one Shih Tzu Mix. All rescue dogs. They enjoy spending their day with me in my sewing room. It's their favorite place to hang out and nap.
On September 15, 2013, I suffered a serious break to my arm and shoulder. Sadly, that ended my days of cutting hair. But as it's been said, "When one door closes, another one opens". The injury opened the door to follow my dream of opening an online dog/pet boutique. I enjoy making things for dogs and the humans who love them. I went out and purchased an embroidery machine and made it happen. Now I get to use my God given talent, to make unique, high quality pet gifts. My focus has been personalized dog toys, blankets and pillows, yet expanding my product line continually. Everything in my shop is made in my home. There's no warehouse, no mass production, no employees. I'm a one woman show. I sincerely hope you love my items as much as I love creating them.

How it’s Made
Minky fabrics are incredibly soft and dogs seem to truly love the feel. My first grooming pillow was made with Minky. I designed it for the home groomer. Not for the show dogs because they need satin. I make these for the average Shih Tzu, Yorkie, or Maltese with a puppy cut. I use only the best Minky available. No imposter discount craft store brands. The front is a smooth Minky and a faux fur Minky on the back side. I embroider the dog's name on the front, then pin to the back and sew together. I trim and clip the seams and turn inside out to carefully stuff with poly fill made in the USA. This takes patience because if you try to stuff too quickly, you'll get lumps. I take small amounts and stuff until it's perfect. I sew the opening closed with needle and thread. Don't be surprised if your dog falls asleep during the top knot styling!
