dOg studiO came together in 2001 when Lori Buntin & Cathryn Simmons teamed up to start The Big Experiment. You know, the eternal question: “Can you actually make
a living doing what you like to do?”
We still
don’t know. And some months it gets really scary, but we are determined
to keep trying until we get it right. Failure is just temporary .. but then Everything
Is Temporary (Cathryn’s motto).
The Big Experiment is about our life. Living and working where we love
it and working at what we love (mostly) .. hanging out with our families and our friends.

So we began creating stuff to sell. Lori painted and ‘invented’ dog chairs. I
(Cathryn) began to make jewelry and photo frames by hand. We looked for a place
to buy .. within the budget .. which took awhile because realtors laughed at the budget figure .. Cathryn drove the streets of Kansas City looking for property .. finding the price on it and driving more!
