Leather Samples and the dog who loves them.

Yesterday was like Christmas.  We were expecting two hides of our lovely black leather to arrive, and with that leather, I was expecting some new leather samples.

We always get excited by the thought of leather samples.  I suppose one could equate it to a house wife/house husband who gets in new swatches of flooring or wall paper.

But even more so for us because we don't just get swatches.  We get hand cut pieces that are big enough to hold, bend, and feel.

It is important for us to get these samples because we need to be able to feel the leather before committing to an entire hide.

So, the leather arrived, and I (Rebecca) skipped around with the excitement of a child getting ready to tear into birthday presents.

Opening the package, the puppies hear the commotion and decided that I must really need their assistance.  So, they decide to investigate the activity (hey, that's a job, right?  That's help, right?), and they ultimately just get in the way.

Luke is the worst.  He finds leather to be one of the tastiest gifts on earth, and he'd gladly eat it ALL if left to his own devices.
So, when snapping a shot of a new leather sample that I fell in love with, Luke tried to express his equal love for the new leather sample as well.

"Les get thees one.  Is mai favoreeet!"


And when he cannot get a hold of leather, paper will do.  He stole the invoice that came with our order yesterday before I was able to unpack all the leather samples.  Here you can see a tiny piece of paper in his mouth that was evidence of his theft:





But Ophie, Ophie had grown tired of the activity and decided to crash on the couch as I struggled with Luke to keep the leather sample away so that I could snap a photo of it:


Luke only gets away with things because of his super cuteness:


The sample above is a new leather that we'll be ordering in about a week.  It is very similar to our black and burgundy leathers, and we're quite excited to be adding it to our leather inventory soon!

The dogs?  Well, Luke would eat ALLLL the leather inventory if allowed.  But he wants you all to know that the new leather is Lukey approved.
