Tails & Tales Co.

Every Tail Has a Tale™

Tails & Tales Co. emerged from muddy paw prints, slobbery kisses, and the indescribable joy that comes from sharing life with our furry companions.


As our flagship brand, it transforms those "you had to be there" pet moments into tangible treasures that capture the essence of the extraordinary animals who share our lives.


When my gentle dog Jax was diagnosed with cancer and had his leg amputated, I realized how quickly our precious moments were slipping by undocumented. The memory books I created initially for myself—filled with prompted pages, paw print templates, and photo layouts—quickly resonated with fellow pet parents who shared my dilemma: how do you capture the magic of your pet's unique personality when you're busy actually living those moments?


Our products solve this problem with a dash of whimsy and a heap of practicality. Each template is crafted for real-life pet parents who may have more pet hair on their clothes than artistic talent in their fingers.


The thoughtful prompts, playful designs, and fool-proof layouts do the creative heavy lifting, making memory-keeping as easy as a belly rub (and almost as satisfying).


SIGNATURE PRODUCTS:


  • Fur Baby Memory Books (digital and printed editions)
  • Pawsome Memories Journals (digital and printed prompted journals)
  • Pawsome Greetings (DIY paw print greeting card templates)

Tripawd Tales

Life Doesn't Count the Legs. It Counts the Leaps.

Tripawd Tales™ emerged when my beloved dog Jax lost his leg to bone cancer. What could have been an ending became an incredible beginning as we embarked on a cross-country adventure that changed everything.


Our flagship memoir, 979 Days: Chasing Life as a Tripawd, chronicles our journey across America as Jax adapted to life on three legs. This book isn't a travelogue—it's a heartwarming (and sometimes snort-tea-through-the-nose hilarious) story about the resilience, joy, and profound lessons that come from loving a differently-abled pet.


Beyond the memoir, our Tripawd Tales™ brand is growing into a supportive community for pet parents navigating similar challenges. Through resources, stories, and connection, we're transforming difficult journeys into tales of hope and celebration.
