A few months back a friend suggested that I make a new line of soaps to honor some of our team's search and rescue dogs. You may know that I member of a K-9 search team, Michigan Search and Rescue. We are a 24/7, all volunteer team that searches for missing persons. The dogs are trained by their handler and it takes about two years to certify for deployments after many, many hours of training.
I thought her suggestion was a grand idea and got to work on a recipe, a design style and trying to pair up fragrances that would suit each dog or handler. I got to work this past spring and have soaps completed and cured for six of the dogs. More will be coming soon now that I have the cast of my wrist and can get back to soaping. These soaps will be a limited collection of eleven bars each.
