We received a lovely letter today....

From Taffy Tucker.
Here it is:

Hi Folks at the Pet Cabaret,

Thanks for finding my new Premier fleecy toy!
I love it!

Taffy Tucker

Clearly, she is a woman of few words, but they are well chosen. Thank you, Taffy.

Help out a local resuce at no cost!

Our pals at Poodle Rescue New England are a great bunch of people. They are an all volunteer organization and do what they do out of love and compassion for the animals they help. Like many other rescue groups, they are financially strapped in these crazy economic times, but we can help them out in a really simple way.

Panda returns

Panda, upon returning from a day of washing off the winter grime
and getting a stylish new trim from her Aunt Annie.

You asked, we heard...

Actually, the truth is we finally got software that could deal with this... ta da!!!!!!!

We now have a customer rewards program. That's right, little ole' us here at The Pet Cabaret now have a way to track and reward your pet purchases. For every $500 you spend at the store, you'll get $20 off on another purchase. Not bad, huh?

Just let us know if you'd like to be enrolled in the program the next time you're in the store.

Now you don't have to feel guilty about buying that little extra "something" for your darling pal.

Thought you'd like to know

that one of our favorite trainers, the incomparable Terri Bright, has an upcoming seminar that some of you may like to attend. It's at DOGS! Learning Center in the Cafe', 577 Main Street, Hudson, MA 01749 as part of their Winter 2010 Mini Seminars Series.

In this talk, Board-Certified Behavior Analyst Terri will focus on the analysis part
of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA is the science that arose from the experimental analysis of behavior and will teach how to assess and analyze
the causes and consequences of behavior in a systematic fashion.

The date of this event is Sunday January 31, 2010 from 1:00pm -4:00pm
Snow day: Sunday, February 14, 2010 from 1:00pm -4:00pm

Product Recall

There's a recall of Merrick Beef Filet Squares with a package date of “Best By 111911” because the product may be contaminated with Salmonella.

The Pet Cabaret has checked each package of this product in our store and none of our product is from this suspect lot.

The media event of the season....

Our genius pal, Bob Quinn, artist extraordinaire,
just finished animating this spot.
We hope you like it.

One, Two, Three....six, twelve...thirty nine...damn it!

Oh this inventory thing is making us more mental than we already are. We know it is a good thing to do, but so mind numbing...yet meditative as well.

Anyhoo, we're nearly finished counting and everyone is doing so very well. We've learned that we can all count into double digits and this is a great relief.

We look forward to seeing you all back in the store starting on Tuesday, January 12th. We'll be here our normal hours...from 10 am - 6 pm.

We'll do something for you kids to make up for closing the store on a Sunday....give us minute to think of it...
