A Puppy Scorned

As I sit writing this, Panda is in my lap...a puppy scorned.
Our last customer tonight was Willa the Aussie and try as Panda might, she could not get Willa to even look at her.
Panda twirled, she licked, she jumped, she whined, she begged, she rolled over and exposed her belly to the enitre store but Willa ignored her. Totally ignored her.
Finally Panda gave up and fell into a puppy depression. And there she remains.

We'll have to get Topo in to light her up which shouldn't be too hard to manage.

Oh yeah, also want to let you know that we're having our annual Howl - o -ween Photo Shoot on Sunday, October 28th! This is always a total sell out so please book early. Photographer Chris McLay will be working her magic on your costumed and humiliated pets.

Cool customer Josh Glenn has a new book out entitled "Taking Things Seriously: 75 Objects with Unexpected Significance". Find it at Pazzo Books in Roslindale Square. Buy it. It's cool.

New stuff in the store

Just a brief update on some new items that we have lurking about in the store...

There's some new dog biscuits to try, Sojourner Farms Good Dog Treats in the new Blueberry Cobbler flavor. Yummy, adorable, and filled with antioxidants. We also have Sojo's newly formulated Dog Treats in a variety of flavors. The bacon is a real hit here at the store.

Take a look as well at some of the new products by Artemis. They have a variety of new products including a kitten food, a senior cat food, high proteing foods, and an organic dog biscuit. Users of Artemis products know how nicely these products feed and are received so we encourage you to try some of these new items.

We have some new lighted collar covers in from Polybrite that we think will work nicely for the upcoming shorter days.

New coats will soon be in from Foggy Mountain dog coats. Stylish and durable. What more could an urban pooch want?

We'll soon be off to our yearly trade show at the beginning of October so we'll have some spankin' new things for the holiday season.

Let us know what you you're interested in.

See you all soon.

Photo Day

We had another really successful pet portrait photo day on September 9th. Again, photographer Chris McLay of Unleashed Photography did a great job handling all sorts of pet and animal portraits that day. Even being cuffed off the head multiple times by a camera shy kitty cat did not deter Chris' assistant Jamie from wrangling all the pets into beautiful poses for their shots. They truly are an amazing pair.

Look for some new shots in our window boxes in the near future from these portraits.

We're planning our next photo day for Sunday, October 28th and we'll be sending out an email soon about that.

Please call us if you're interested in reserving a space for that session which is our Halloween shoot.
Believe me, this one will sell out very early.

Catching up

Hi kids,

Well it's been REALLY busy since we've gotten back from our little vacation and I haven't had the time to post here at all. So here is a quick catch up post.

Panda and Mary visited the beach while on vacation and it was Panda's first time. Initially, she was a bit afraid of the whole thing but then the sand between her toes sent her off into puppy heaven. She ran like a nut in circles watched by a puzzled Mary who's had many beach experiences. All in all though, her visits were a great success and she definitely interested in returning and eating and rolling in some more dead things.
