Why “Jay Dog” Designs

What’s in a name?

Shakespeare

Essentially it means what something is called can never fully capture the full meaning of what that something is.

In 2016 we bought a new member in to our family home. He was small, the runt of the litter but oh so cute and stole our hearts. This was our Jay dog. We searched for a name to call him through our favourite films and my son being 12, loved all the action and superheroes. Men in Black was our favourite family movie at the time and Will Smith’s character agent J was smart and funny. Our pup become agent J or Jay.

I wanted to put a name tag on the items make but ‘made by Terri’ or ‘homemade’ labels seemed a bit lame. I want them to be personal to me. I think my son and husband would agree that Jay is probably my dog more than anyone else’s. I walked him most in his first 4 years, I fed and trained him. He is unique and I love him dearly. To use his name for my business just seemed right.
