Chocolate therapy

We made a discovery this week that has helped us a great deal. We've noticed that if we eat enough chocolate, many other things don't seem to matter as much.

We still know that we are building out a new space, we still know that Bush is president, we still know that we are not skinny trust fund blonds, but none of this seems to matter.

Chocolate calls to us and makes us happy.

Is that so wrong?

Getting there

Well, we are getting there with the new place. The wash room has been framed out, (once again, our friend, the hammer, has been instrumental in this, as have the people wielding them).
The plumbing and electrical are mostly in and we'll be doing some more painting next week as well.
We're shooting for mid January or early February to open up and it looks as though we'll make it.
Famous last words.

Happy Happy Merry Merry to you all.

A note of thanks

We wanted to take the time to thank you all for your continued patronage and support. We truly do appreciate it and so enjoy seeing you and your pets. We are grateful that you allow us to help you out when can and we'll continue to search for new ways to help get and keep your pets healthy.

We're excited about having the opportunity to offer you our self-serve dog washing services ("All Washed Up") as well as expanded product offerings at our new location at 4404 Washington Street in Roslindale. We'll also be having photographer, Chris McLay, (who did such a great job at our Howl-O-Ween event!) in regularly, as well as lecturers on various topics. In fact, if you have an interest in a certain topic, feel free to run it by us and maybe we can arrange a seminar on it.

Once again, thanks so much for coming to The Pet Cabaret and thanks so much for being our friends.

Please enjoy our wonderful designer, Bob Quinn's, winter drawing for our store.

All right then, OK...

Hi kids,

Just to catch you up on things. We are making progress on our build out at the new location. It's going more slowly than we'd like, but it's going. The orchestration of projects like this is a bit overwhelming and sometimes we get a little crazy behind stuff or at least mildly confused. OK, so totally confused.

We do have some people looking out for us and helping us out so we are lucky in that regard, but ultimately all the details are our responsibility and we have to make sure that everything is right. It's just kind of crazy trying to keep track of it all.
