Got a text this morning that all the flowers I planted for our stores were dug up over night. π They stole about half of what I planted and left the rest in piles.
Please excuse @myfilosophy and @tailblazerswest while our beds are in disarray. I promise, this isn't how we wanted everyone to see them.
If I'm being honest, I dread the notification sound from the work chat most days. It feels like lately, it's always unpleasant news. Being a business owner is really hard, and in ways you can't prepare for.

Waking pets up with their favorite snack really is so rewarding! ππΉ
So, just in case you have missed all our previous posts, we have something to tell you... We are having a huge event tomorrow!
We are celebrating all of our amazing customers who have supported us through the years but especially during these past 20-ish months. You know what I'm talking about. That which must not be named. π¬
So, to thank YOU for being so darn supportive, we are throwing a party!
There will be discounts.
There will be cupcakes (for dogs!)
There will be prizes to be won.
There will be goodie bags.
There will be baked goods on sale for a fundraiser.
A few things we need to talk about though.
1 - We will have to limit the number of customers in the store. A staff member will be at the front door to help out with this. You may have to line up outside. Please dress for the weather.
2-There are no rain cheques; we're sorry for this but it is a one day event only!
3- Food shortages are becoming a thing. We are trying to stay on top of it, but that combined with shipping delays means we may not have everything you are looking for. We are sorry for that and please know, we are doing our best. We may need to put maximums on what people are buying, because hoarding is not fair.
4- Curbside orders are going to take a bit longer than usual. We are sorry for that, but as this event is going to be quite busy, it will be hard to be on the phones as often. Please be patient.
We look forward to seeing all your lovely, masked (we know, it's not fun), faces tomorrow. Bring your pup down and enjoy the celebration! π
