About Linden Line Designs
Written by Joan, Owner of Linden Line DesignsLinden Line Designs was created as a way to satisfy many passions. A passion for sewing, pets and the desire to share with my daughter the principle that Women are strong and can create anything they wish.
Linden Line Designs is truly a family labor of love. My husband, Tony; our daughter, McKenna; and myself have each contributed in many ways to make this business and website become a reality. Right down to the name, we all had a say in choosing it! Linden is a type of tree with heart-shaped leaves and also represents "Feminine Power". Additionally, the other members of our family, Skippy the pug, Jane the pug, Larka the Siberian husky/mix, Khonsu the cat, Sandy the collie, and Urquell the boxer are the inspirations for most of the products available.
My Mission
I am dedicated to sewing top quality fashion accessories for your pet. In addition to this, I'm hoping my products will put a smile on your face. Alot of love truly goes into each product. I especially enjoy what I consider to be the Linden Line Designs' trademark, which McKenna suggested...

Bio: Skippy was a member of our family for fourteen beautiful, cherished years. She was never really considered just a 'dog': her expressions, mannerisms, and personality were more like those of a human. She touched the life of everyone who knew her, just by being her sweet, silly, caring, intuitive self.
Larka

Breed(s): Mix; possibly Alaskan/Siberian Husky and Jindo.

Bio: Larka is a rescue dog, adopted from a local animal rescue. Larka was named after the main character in one of McKenna's favorite books, "The Sight" by David Clement-Davies. Despite her sophisticated looks, Larka is really a silly, playful dog at heart. She loves being outside, enjoying nature.
Khonsu

Bio: Khonsu was adopted from the same animal rescue where we adopted Larka. Khonsu's namesake is the Egyptian God of the Moon, and it is pronounced hon-sue. Khonsu is our first family cat. She is a very sweet kitty, and, in some ways, more like a dog than a cat: she knows the word "No!".
Urquell
Aliases: Pupper-duppers, Dupper doo doos, Urkle.
Breed(s): Boxer
Favorite Things: Chasing flashlight spots, Playing basketball, Meeting (and kissing!) people, Going to the vet (really!).

We will have a photo gallery of Urquell when we scan photos of her into our computer!
Sandy
Aliases: Sandra, Cowgirl, Cowlie, Fuzzy.
Breed(s): Tri Collie
Favorite Things: Going to the beach, Sitting on the porch, Going for walks.
Bio: Sandy was a very sweet, incredibly gentle and mild-mannered dog. She and Khonsu were best friends: they would curl up beside one another and give each other kisses. Sandy was never happier than when she was at the ocean, wading in the waves.
