“Get out, it’s MY turn!”

More happy kitties hailing from Chicago!

And you wondered what all the commotion was at 3am?  Why dance practice of course!

Hi.  Jed here.  I’m in charge of all things creative at Hepper, and I’ll be posting a lot of Modern Pet related stuff on this site.  Part of the goal of this blog is to give you all an inside look at the creative process involved in getting products to you.  There’s not some magic machine in another country that spits out perfect cat beds; there’s actually a ton of research, design, development and production that goes into each new product we come up with.  I’ll be showing you the process as we create more great Hepper products.  And, I’ll get you involved too, by getting a chance to voice your opinion on upcoming products and colors as well as making any suggestions.

One of our fav blogs posted a bit about our Roost birdhouse this week.  It’s great to see our work up there with all the other amazing designs.  Thanks BLTD!

Chances are slim that the birds in your back yard are reading Dwell magazine, but nonetheless they will be dwelling-well in this mini-modern home of their own.  The Roost is a perfect place for bringing up a family of cheepers.  Sorry, no human sized versions (yet).  Here’s all the colors in the Roost.

Summer Blue

Spring Green

Winter Silver

From her mom: “the Hepper is a huge hit. All three cats took turns in it within ten minutes of putting it up last night , and Lucy - a ringer for Hepper, with a different nose - is sleeping there now… Thank you, what an awesome piece, and thanks for the awesome gray and pink cat cushion too!”

And one from our personal experience at the Hepper house:

Get out your hankies.  The well-timed music editing drives it right home. (time: 1:04) Not sure about the message at the end, but just enjoy..

Well, it had to happen eventually.  In her not-so-subtle takeover of all things food, Rachel Ray has launched a new line of “super premium” food and treats for dogs. Thankfully, this venture comes from something (someone) close to her heart - her dog Isaboo.  It looks like the profits are going to something good as well: Rachael’s Rescue ( www.rachaelsrescue.org ), which helps at-risk animals.

The ingredients look decent, but I’m far from an expert. I think that as much as she loves food, Rachel’s real goal is to have her face on every single product in your grocery store.  Has anyone tried her recipes?  Would you try this new food because of her name on the packaging, or are the ingredients better than what you currently feed your critters?

This pretty much sums up the day.
