When Dogs Fly: A Custom Flag-Maker Smiles



A while back I got a call from a customer in Texas who wanted to purchase one of our dog flags. The following is part of the letter I received just before mailing off a black lab flag to her.

"I have now found your website and your things are gorgeous. I would like to special order the french blue with a black lab. I plan to give this to my husband for our wedding anniversary...he will simply love it - he a year ago rescued a black lab - the 3rd lab in our lifetime. We are still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Ike and your flag will be a real "happy" for us and our neighborhood. I can expect you will hear from many more Galvestonians."

When it comes to cool gifts, flags do make people smile. Sometimes, a little teary-eyed. I know this sounds corny but it's true. I've seen their faces and have read their testimonials. That is why I do what I do.
