Growing up in a small town catching lightning bugs and crickets as a child are my earliest memories of being fascinated with the creatures of the world. Soon after those summer nights I began to realize my love for all animals. Rescuing cats and dogs from the streets became my favorite pastime. I always felt as a child that someday maybe I would create something special for them. That magical childhood connection turned into my passion today, creating products that give them as much joy as they give me.

The idea for the Ruffle Bed came about when I was dealing with some physical discomfort. My cat intuitively knew there was something wrong and never left my side. Animals seem to have an innate ability to sense our emotional states. His love and comfort for me during that time had created inspiration within and Pawpawplay was born. I am so thrilled to be able to share this cozy bed with as many cats and dogs as possible!
