🛠 First Sample Photos of Audie the Axolotl!
about 1 year ago – Tue, Feb 18, 2025 at 02:08:00 PM

A FIRST LOOK at Audie the Axolotl's FIRST sample!! We are so excited to see our sweet friend coming to life! We have a list of notes for our manufacturer of what we would like added and changed, so don't worry, this is not the final product yet!




I think the fabric colors for the GILLS will be so so cute as more pastel shades! Jojo and I are so overjoyed to see our characters coming to life, and all the love you have given us! Only 3 weeks until launch! We are SO close!! 

⚡️Emotional Support Critter Jacket- NEW ADD-ON!!⚡️
about 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 17, 2025 at 02:11:16 PM

After getting several requests for the Sleepy Service Puppies’ Vests to be an individual add-on, we decided to do something even more special! After looking over the designs for the Critters vs. the Puppies, we decided it would make much more sense to create them their own jackets instead!!

These “safety jackets” read “Emotional Support Critter” and will be a SEPARATE add-on for your critters! These will fit any critters, but not necessarily the puppies (unless it does on a stroke of luck)!

The sample for the jackets is already in the works and we will show it off soon!! Let us know if you’d like to see more add-ons soon!

🎊 Celebrating 300+ Campaign Followers - Audie the Autistic Axolotl Biography and Sticker Design
about 1 year ago – Thu, Feb 13, 2025 at 02:58:01 PM



Meet Audie, the joyful Axolotl with Autism. Audie communicates through movement, using dance as a way to connect to others. Their love for colorful lights transforms their home into a dazzling dance floor, where they invite friends to celebrate any occasion.

Audie uses they/them pronouns <3

We are SO excited to show you the next critters. I think we will probably release a POLL to vote who we release next, so make sure to check your email or our Instagrams for any updates on that! We also had an AWESOME zoom call with a BackerKit marketing executive, and learned a lot about our potential for this project. We also recently chose fabric colors for all the critters, so I think we will make a post about that as soon as well, so you can see possible colors!!

Thank you so much for all your continued support! We are so excited for get photos of samples!

WOW! Less than 5 days ago we hit 100+ campaign followers, and we are already at 200! Conversing with you about this project and creating some designs has been such a pleasure. The Sleepy Service Puppies have been a huge hit as well!

Thank you for helping share and support us! Here is Pixel's official biography and sticker design! Once the final sticker designs are complete, we will release all of them - a lot of people voted on the positive affirmations being written on the sticker as well, so we will be workshopping those and seeing how we can make them as cute as possible!



✨ NEW✨ Sleepy Service Puppies: Weighted and Heated Comfort Pals
about 1 year ago – Wed, Jan 22, 2025 at 02:27:18 PM

COMING SOON: Porsha, the golden retriever service puppy!! 50% of this campaign will go towards @jojoorsmth service prospect!

Check out our ✨NEW✨Sleepy Service Puppies plushies!! One is designed to look like Porsha, a golden retriever puppy, and one is designed to look like Salem, my service dog in training! 🥹 How freaking cute???



They will:
— be weighted 2lbs
— have a removable pouch you can heat up and put back
— have a removable soft vest

They will be added to the campaign along with the first three characters!! We thought these would be a cute addition that isn’t a specific illness, but more so a comfort puppy for anyone 🥰

DON’T FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR CHRONIC CRITTERS ON @backerkit ✨ for all updates relating to the campaign! We will also be sharing Porsha’s puppy wishlist for things needed before she gets here if you want to help out early! 💖🫶 https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/KVW1H13STMZH?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaaQBODk-DF0vQg48XGOhXgBpP-rWSvLxa1xphpXcBIMPctZrUHyPUYTjls_aem_KZy92YDXOy2Hgkw0WifGeg
