Take comfort in cuteness :)
50% Off sale: All Merdog plush & enamel pins!
This cute merdog doll is the perfect gift for Boston Terrier lovers!
Merboston is an energetic, goofy merdog who is sure to make you smile. Merboston is either going a million miles an hour OR taking a nap in the sunshine. There’s really no middle ground, and we’re okay with that! Just look at that adorable squishy face!
Merboston measures 10" tall, is made with soft Minky fabric, and features embroidered eyes and scales. Merboston exists thanks to the amazing backers of the Merboston Plush Kickstarter! This is a limited edition designer doll; I worked with my plush manufacturer to create a small batch of professionally made Merboston dolls, so once they're all adopted no more will be made.
Merpug, Mercorgi, and Merboston were created in 2013 by Jackie Ashley of Norfolk, VA. After making yetis and bigfoots, Jackie wanted to continue making cute cryptid plush. Mermaids seemed like the obvious next choice, but she wanted to change it up! She created the Norfolk Merdogs line in 2013. It was inspired by her love for dogs and influenced by seeing the City of Norfolk mascot sculptures everywhere, which just so happens to be a mermaid.
Please allow me three to five days to fulfill your order.
Merpugs enjoy the tropical, turquoise seas around southern Shlii. Doggy paddling around coral reefs, chasing catfish, and bodysurfing onto the beach for some wonderful sun-bathing are a few of the Merpugs’ favorite activities! Ornate shells, gold coins, and jewels are often found in Merpug nests, which are usually tucked into rocky outcrops on the seashore.
Merpug is ten inches tall, made with soft Minky fabric, and features professionally embroidered details. Merpug exists thanks to the amazing backers of the Merpug Plush Kickstarter!

Hi! My name is Jackie, and I started Shlii Kawaii in 2010 to sell my handmade plush and artwork. In the very beginning, I only had a shop on Etsy. As my business grew, I decided to create my own website. To have my own little online space is so exciting to me!!
In addition to selling online, I vend at craft shows, anime and comic conventions, and pop-ups. I really love these in-person events. It’s so much fun getting to talk with customers, meet other artists, and catch up with old friends. I used to travel for shows, but now I only attend shows in the Hampton Roads area.
Please keep in mind that the majority of my items are handmade upon order. I also package every order and take it to the post office, so all of this does take extra time. I promise the wait is worth it, though!! I truly put my heart into everything I make, so I hope you can take comfort in all the cute things heading your way :)
No one at my residence smokes, however I do own two dogs. They’re not allowed in my craft room, but of course they’re still in my house in general, so please take that into consideration if you have any dog allergies.
I do not use AI; all artwork is drawn by me, a human (possibly cryptid) artist.
