Afternoon all, here we are again at the weekend, and a long weekend as well ๐Ÿ‘
The boss has been keeping me busy again, (I think it's because I'll get Monday off ๐Ÿ™ˆ).
After my stocktake we found lots of products that we had forgotten about and we've decided that we should have a warehouse clear out, or as I want to call it โœจBANK HOLIDAY BARGAIN BONANZA โœจ
We've got dog harnesses, metal signs, plants, cast iron bird baths, and lots and lots of reptile products like turtle docks,lamps,background, and an outdoor vivarium.
All items are half price or less so pop in and grab a bargain.
I'm back to the warehouse now to see what other goodies I might find. If I'm not back by Tuesday send in the search party ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ.
Have a great weekend and see you soon love Ernie xx

Afternoon everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹, hope you're all having a good week and have enjoyed the nice weather ๐ŸŒž, and it looks like we're getting some more sunshine this weekend ๐Ÿ™Œ
I've been working hard so that I can have some time off this weekend and maybe get in the paddling pool and have a barbecue ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ”
I've been stocktaking and organising the shelves and it made me realise how many Ancol products we stock. I've taken photos ๐Ÿ“ธof just a few of the things we have such as collars, leads, harnesses, brushes, combs, and toys (there's loads more but I couldn't take photos of everything)
I even got a photo of me with one of my favourite toys, I've had it for a couple of years now and it's still going strong ๐Ÿ‘, so that tells you that the products are great quality.
Why not come in and have a look for yourselves ๐Ÿ‘€
See you all soon, love Ernie xx

Afternoon everyone, hope you're all ok ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‹
I can't believe it's the weekend already, it only seems like yesterday when I last posted.
I have been busy since last week, we visited my cousin's on Sunday ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿฉ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ•(all four of them) and spent the day running round the fields and getting muddy in the duck pond ๐Ÿ™ˆ, mum wasn't very happy with me when she saw how wet and dirty I was (whoops!!!) ๐Ÿ˜‚.
When we got home I had to have a bath ๐Ÿ› because she said I stunk ๐Ÿ˜ฉ and I wasn't allowed in until I had dried off.
Mum decided that it would be a good idea to get some mats down for the next time I was wet (which is most days to be fair ๐Ÿ˜) so she came to the shop and got some of our Pet Rebellion mats to put down.
There are lots of sizes and patterns to choose from and they are made in Britain and fully machine washable, which mum says is essential with me about.
I've already given the small mat a test when I came back from playing in the river and needed a drink before she had chance to get a towel round me, (in the dog house again ๐Ÿคฃ)
Right, time to get some digging done in the garden, I'm sure mum will be happy that I'm helping to do that ๐Ÿ˜, see you soon love Ernie xx

Afternoon everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹, how are you on this lovely day?
I've been enjoying the sunny weather ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ˜Ž and being sensible about it. Me and Archie have been having our walks early in the morning and later in the evening so we're not out when it's too hot (the pavement was 46ยฐ at lunchtime yesterday!!!! That's paw burning temperature ๐Ÿพโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ)
We also got to cool off in the sea one day, which was brilliant ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ‘.
I do have a warning for you, we have had a lot of customers in this week with dogs who have got poorly tummies and the one thing they all had in common was that the dogs had been swimming in the river. It might be a good idea to keep out of the river for now and cool down in different ways instead
We do have paddling pools, ๐Ÿ’ฆcooling beds, mats, coats and bandanas to help with this, and, in case you do get a tummy bug we have got tablets and we also have paw balm for burnt or dry paws , sun balm with SPF, and skin ointment.
Whether you are at home, the steam rally, or Y Not this weekend enjoy the weather and I'll see you soon love Ernie xx

Hello everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹ hope you are ok and enjoying the summer holidays and the obligatory roadworks in Matlock ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿšฆ๐Ÿ˜ก. Don't me started on them, they really stress me out!!!
Anyway, let's talk about nicer things. It's my dad's birthday today ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‚ so I decided to order some new things at the shop for his presents, I thought he would love the zero hide chicken puffed plaits and chews, and the reflective long lead so he can see me in the dark, but he didn't look overly excited when he opened them ๐Ÿค” I don't know why ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
He did like the chocolates ๐Ÿซthat Archie got him so at least one of us got it right ๐Ÿ˜.
The chews and leads are back in the shop so if they appeal to you more than they did to my dad come in and get some.
Right, now I'm going to see if I can bake a cake for my dad, do you think he'll like a liver flavoured one ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ˜‚, love Ernie xx

Hello everyone, happy Saturday ๐Ÿ‘‹
How are you all coping with the heat ๐Ÿฅต๐ŸŒž? I spent most of yesterday in my paddling pool ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ˜, it was such good fun.
Today looks a bit cooler so it should be safe for me to go out without burning my feet ๐Ÿพ.
This week I have also had the chance to mix with the nobility ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
I got to meet Sir Woofchester and sample some of his amazingly tasty treats ๐Ÿ˜‹.
As you can see from the photo the treats I tasted were the all day breakfast bar snack (tastes like an all day breakfast ๐Ÿฅ“yum ) the scampi fries bar snack ( scampi and pea flavour snack sticks very retro) and the paw scratchies bar snack (pulled pork flavour treat bites always a good bet) and I can safely say they are DELICIOUS. They are made in Britain, are grain free, contain natural ingredients, and use a hand made baking process which is good to know ๐Ÿ‘.
They are so good that I told the boss that he had to get some on the counter (amazingly he agreed with me for a change ๐Ÿ˜‚)
Next time you're passing pop in and try some, you won't be disappointed.
You might have noticed that I've also put on a photo of me in my racing car, that's because I was showing off to Sir Woofchester telling him I was Matlock's answer to Lewis Hamilton ๐Ÿคฃ(I'm not sure he believed me though!!)
Right, time to get some work done, mum says my room looks like a right dog's dinner ๐Ÿ™ˆ and I need to tidy it ASAP so I'd better get on it.
See you all soon, love Ernie xx

Morning everyone, are you all ready for the football tomorrow โšฝ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง ๐Ÿ‘
Mum and dad have said that I can stay up past my bedtime to watch it ๐Ÿ˜, I'm sooooo EXCITED!!!! I just wish I was playing because I love chasing footballs and I would be great in goal because I always catch any ball that's thrown for me.
I think I'd better get in touch with Gareth Southgate and see what he says ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚.
Anyway, I've decided that we are going to win 3-1 and I'm not going to work on Monday because I'll be too tired after celebrating ๐Ÿฅณ ๐ŸŽ‰ on Sunday night.
We have lots of footballs at the shop if you want a kick about on the park, in fact I'm off now to get another one for me ๐Ÿ˜‰, even though I've already got loads on the toy box.
So, good luck to the England team, it's coming home!!!!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ†, love Ernie xx

Afternoon everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹, how are you all?
I've been very busy today, as I'm sure you can see ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ™ˆ, don't let the boss know what I've been up to ๐Ÿคซ
I was filling up all the natural products and realised that I could make some of them into a new creature (I've called him Norman ๐Ÿ‘)
He's made from venison legs(ยฃ2.85), hooves (80p), lamb's feet (for the arms, ยฃ2.00), cow's ears (ยฃ1.00), buffalo horn (ยฃ5.00), and an antler (from ยฃ6.00). His body is a hoodie (from ยฃ17.00), and his emoji face (ancol toy ยฃ6.49).
What do you think, ๐Ÿค” could he be the new shop mascot ๐Ÿ˜‚.
I do think he looks amazing, but I'd better put everything back before the boss sees him.
Maybe he can come out again another day and we can have some fun together (and if anything goes wrong I can blame it all on Norman ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฃ).
Right, back to work now, see you soon love Ernie xx

Hello, happy Saturday โ˜บ๏ธ.
Have you all had a good week? I've really enjoyed the lovely weather ๐ŸŒž because I've been able to cool off in the sea ๐ŸŒŠ.
In fact I haven't just been paddling, I've actually been proper swimming ๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ for the first time (I'm a big boy now ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘). Dad said that now I've started swimming the next step is to get my swimming badges and that includes putting on my pyjamas and diving in to retrieve a rubber brick from the bottom ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚. I think he's pulling my leg but I'll keep you posted.
Right, back to work mode, we've had some new, fancy p**p bag dispensers with a matching scrunchie and from now until Friday we are giving a free roll of poo bags when you buy one. Mums got her eye on the blue flowery one but I like the green stripe. Which would you go for?.
I'm off to find my pyjamas now, see you soon love Ernie xx

Good morning ๐Ÿ‘‹, I hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿฅต.
I've been keeping cool in my paddling pool and Archie has been reclining on his cool mat (both items are available at the shop along with cooling jackets, cooling bandanas and freezable toys ๐Ÿ˜)
But, just in case the heat is short lived and it goes cold again ๐Ÿฅถwe are covering all the bases and now have in stock fire pit starter kits (kindling, fire lighters, and logs) and summer fire fuel kits (kindling, fire lighters, logs, and coal). We had our log burner ๐Ÿ”ฅ lit twice last week and these would have come in really handy.
So whatever the weather we have something for all eventualities ๐Ÿ‘,
Right, I'm off to the paddling pool again (mum's teaching me the doggy paddle today ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™ˆ)
Have a great weekend and I'll see you soon, love Ernie xx

Hello everyone, I hope you are all ok.
Today is a very poignant day for us as it is a year today since we lost my grandma Pat ๐Ÿ˜”.
I think about her every day and miss her coming to the shop to give me cuddles, throw my ball, and sneak me lots of treats ๐Ÿ’”.
We wanted to mark the day with something that would be a fitting tribute to grandma Pat and to make good use of the money that was collected last year by all the independent shops on our street (which we were very touched by โ™ฅ๏ธ thank you)
so we decided to buy a beautiful planter, plant it up with lovely, vibrant plants (grandma Pat loved her garden) and get a little plaque to let everyone know that it's Pat's Planter (we also got a little pottery dog to go in it as well because she loved dogs, ๐Ÿ• ๐Ÿ• especially me and Archie)
We hope that this will brighten up the outside of the shop, bring a smile to people's faces, and remind everyone of the wonderful person grandma Pat was.
While we are still grieving we are also so grateful to have had her in our lives and know that we have fantastic memories to keep her close.
I want to finish by saying thank you to all of you for the love and support you gave us last year and the continuing support you are giving, you keep us going, THANK YOU โค๏ธโค๏ธ๐Ÿ™, love Ernie, Archie, Adam, and Sarah ###x

Good morning everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹, I hope you're all ok
This week I've been learning about World War 2 ahead of the D-Day commemorations and I was very surprised to learn that dogs were involved and we're even trained to parachute ๐Ÿช‚
Paradogs were taught to get used to the sights and sounds of war like aircraft propellers and explosions ๐Ÿ’ฅ, they were also trained to identify the smell of the explosives
The dogs had their own parachutes and we're trained to jump out of the planes. It seems that after a few practice jumps they would jump out of their own free will
One of these dogs, Bing, even won the Dicken Medal, the animal Victoria Cross, and when he passed away in 1955 he was buried in a cemetery of honour for animals and a statue of Bing is on show in The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces Museum in Duxford.
This makes me very proud to be a dog ๐Ÿ• โค๏ธ
I want to finish by saying thank you to all the people and animals who served in the war for their bravery and sacrifice that gave us the freedom that we enjoy today.
We will never forget โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ™
Love Ernie xx

Morning and welcome to June!!! Not exactly summery is it ๐ŸŒฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ž
At least it was nice last weekend when we went to the seaside ๐ŸŒŠโ›ฑ๏ธ๐Ÿค—, I've never been before and I didn't know what it was going to be like. It was AMAZING ๐Ÿ˜, the sea was definitely bigger than I expected ๐Ÿคฃ but I wasn't frightened and I was soon paddling ๐Ÿ‘my brother wasn't as keen but he enjoyed the feel of the sand between his toes ๐Ÿ˜€
I will say though, don't drink the sea water, it doesn't taste like normal water ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ and it made me pull a funny face.
I can't wait to go again (hint hint mum and dad ๐Ÿ˜)
It's been back to work since then and I've been busy putting together an order for our dog food ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ—๐Ÿฅฉ, been out on deliveries ๐Ÿšš, and bagged up lots of treats like chickens feet, pigs ears, biscuits, and my favourite treat Sprats ๐Ÿ˜‹.
It's my day off today so I'm chilling at home, I just need the sun to come out and for it to warm up ๐Ÿฅถ ๐Ÿ˜‚
Anyway, I'd better go and make my bed and put my pyjamas away before mum gives me one of her looks ๐Ÿ‘€, see you soon, love Ernie xx

Happy Saturday everyone, and woohoo ๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐ŸŽ‰ it's a bank holiday so no work on Monday ๐Ÿ˜
I'm starting the weekend as I mean to go on and I'm already out in the garden ๐Ÿ’๐ŸŒท๐ŸŒป doing some pruning (although mum didn't look too pleased about it ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ)
Hopefully there might even be a day trip to the seaside ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ–๏ธ so I can paddle in the sea and maybe even an ice-cream ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ˜‹. I'd better be on my best behaviour to make sure ๐Ÿ™
I also had a chat with the workmen outside M&S yesterday and they have told me that there won't be any traffic lights next week ๐Ÿšฆ๐Ÿคž(I'll believe it when I see it ๐Ÿ™ˆ)
Right, back to the pruning ๐Ÿ˜œ, see you all soon, love Ernie xx

Hello everyone, I hope you've all had a good week ๐Ÿ‘
It's been a busy one for me, I've had the terrible job of bed test ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฃ. My Bed Room was looking a bit bare so I was asked to order some more stock, and, as the dedicated dog that I am ๐Ÿ˜‰, I couldn't order anything without making sure it was up to our high standards.
Anyway, after testing about 50 different beds (it's a hard life ๐Ÿ˜‚), I finally chose our stock. We have some brightly coloured, wipeable mattresses, some cosy, comfy green beds, some leather look, very posh beds, and lots of the donut beds to mention just a few of the things I chose.
Please come in and have a look and test out the beds, there is definitely something for everyone.
Time to get off now, still lots of other stuff to sort out in the warehouse.
Have a great weekend and see you soon, love Ernie xx

Happy Saturday everyone ๐Ÿ‘, what a fabulous day it is โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ˜Ž, I've already been in the garden chilling out and I'm sure I'll be out there again later on (mum made me come in because it's too hot at the minute and she didn't want me to get heatstroke).
We've got lots of cooling stuff if you need anything, mats, jackets, bandanas, and freezable toys โ„๏ธ
If you noticed how relaxed I look in the photos, it's because I've been trying out some of our calming products. A couple of weeks ago the road was being dug up outside the shop (again!!!! ๐Ÿคฃ) and the noise really frightened me ๐Ÿ˜จ, so I've been a bit scared when I'm outside the shop ๐Ÿ˜ž. Dad thought we'd try the calming tablets to see if they help, so I'm giving them a go and I'll keep you posted (I do know they work for my brother, Archie, when he goes out in the car๐Ÿ‘).
We also have calming collars, ointments, sprays, and diffusers so if you have a nervous pet come and give one of these a try.
Right, time to decide what we're having on the barbecue tonight ๐Ÿ˜‹๐ŸŒญ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ—๐Ÿฅฉ๐Ÿ–, I'm sure I'll get one of everything to eat ๐Ÿ˜.
Have a fantastic weekend, enjoy the weather, stay safe in the sun and I'll see you soon love Ernie xx

I've started my weekend off really well because today I'm celebrating 3 years since my mum and dad picked me up and gave me a job here at the shop ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘,
I can't believe how quickly 3 years has gone by, and how much I've done in that time. I've done deliveries, driven a crane, celebrated a coronation, opened Ernie's Bed Room, been immortalised as a racing driver, and spent precious time with my brothers ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•โค๏ธโค๏ธ.
I've put together a few photos from when I first arrived up to the present, I've grown a lot since then haven't I ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿพ
I've had so many treats today, starting with a lovely walk and a paddle in the river, biscuits, chews, and even steak ๐Ÿฅฉfor tea (don't tell dad about that because I think that was for him really ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚)
I wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you for welcoming me to the shop and supporting me (and everyone else), you've all been fantastic and I look forward to seeing you all in the shop for years to come ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™,

Evening everyone, I hope you've all had a nice day (I think this is the first day without rain โ˜” for weeks ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฅณ it must be a miracle)
I've been meaning to talk about National Pet Month for a couple of weeks now but I've been really busy, so I've made time for it today because it's really important to me.
Pets are a very special part of people's lives, they are more than pets, they're best friends, children, therapists, their love is unconditional, they don't judge, and they bring so much joy and happiness ๐Ÿ˜
So let's celebrate all pets, dogs๐Ÿ•, cats๐Ÿˆ, rabbits๐Ÿ‡, birds๐Ÿฆ, hamsters๐Ÿน, snakes ๐Ÿ(to name but a few), give them a treat and a cuddle, tell them you love them and enjoy every moment you spend with them ๐Ÿ’—
I'm off now for a big cuddle with my mum, dad, and brother ๐Ÿค—
Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you soon, love Ernie xx

Hello, it's Friday again, doesn't it come round quickly. At least the weather looks a bit better for the weekend ๐ŸŒค๏ธ, you never know we might even get a barbecue on Sunday ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ”
It's been another busy week at the shop, serving customers, out delivering, and sampling new products (that's the best bit ๐Ÿ˜)
This time I got to try puffed sow's ears, my dad said they look like giant pork scratchings for dogs, all I know is they taste amazing ๐Ÿ˜
Also this week one of our customers told us we were in a magazine!!!! (Fame at last ๐Ÿ‘), a tourist had taken a photo of the sign outside our shop and got it published, I'm really pleased that our sign makes people smile.
We've also had lots of new plants in pansys, lavenders, bedding plants and roses.
That's made me think of a joke, what do you get if you cross a dog with a rose.......... A collie-flower ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚
Don't worry, I won't give up the day job!!!!
See you all soon, love Ernie xx

Good morning all, and happy Saturday ๐Ÿ™Œ
I'm really happy today because I've got a day off ๐Ÿ˜, so far I've had a lie in and then a nice walk by the river, and I found a great stick to play with ๐Ÿ‘, what more could I ask for ๐Ÿค” (maybe some treats and a new toy ๐Ÿคฃ)
I don't know if anyone has noticed but this week we've gone all posh and had a new awning at the shop. My dad is loving it, he can't stop sending it in and out with the remote control, my mum says he's just a big kid with a new toy ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚
We've also extended our range of Feelwells treats, I love the training treats, the liver flavour is my favourite ๐Ÿ˜‹, we've also got the 100% meat strips in chicken and beef (I'll be giving those a try), the goodnight treats are duck and oat with calming ingredients to help aid restful sleep ๐Ÿ˜ด, the fish crunches are just that, fish shaped, fish flavour and crunchy ( does exactly what it says on the tin ๐Ÿ˜), and not forgetting the dental sticks , 100% natural ingredients and no sugar, perfect for clean and shiny gnashers ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿชฅ.
I think we're off to the garden centre now, plenty of plants for me to sniff and maybe wee on ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿชด.
Catch up with you all soon, love Ernie xx

05/04/2024

Well, hello everyone ๐Ÿ™Œ we're celebrating a special day this weekend ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ.
That's right.... on Sunday we've been at the shop for 9 years ๐Ÿคฉ
Dad says he can't believe it, seems like yesterday he took over, mum says he doesn't look like it was only yesterday ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜(only joking)
So we decided to put together 9 things you might not know about us and the shop .......
1. When trams were running in Matlock the shop was a tram shelter ๐Ÿš‹
2. My dad used to come into the shop to look at all the pets when he was a boy (a very long time ago ๐Ÿคฃ)
3. Our hay is still locally sourced and still only ยฃ1 per bag the same as it was 9 years ago
4. I'm named after Ernie Wise because when I arrived my dad said I had short fat hairy legs (only those of a certain age will get this ๐Ÿ˜†)
5. We cut keys ๐Ÿ—๏ธ๐Ÿ”‘
6. Before becoming a pet shop it was once a launderette ๐Ÿงฆ๐Ÿ‘š๐Ÿงฅ
7. We've been compared to the TARDIS, we look small on the outside but have a lot on the inside!!!!
8. We've expanded our range of products from only 4 brands of dog food 9 years ago to 12 now, with brands to suit all budgets
9. We also sell a variety of other products like plants,๐Ÿชด firewood,๐Ÿชต fishing nets๐ŸŸ, footballs โšฝ and frisbees (good for dogs and kids๐Ÿ˜)
So, there's some facts you may or may not have known, but one fact that we definitely know is that we have the very best customers ๐Ÿ™Œ๐ŸŽ‰ and we are very grateful for all the support we have had from you all over the last 9 years, we couldn't do it without you ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘.
Here's to the next 9 years, we're looking forward to seeing you all and meeting new friends along the way. ๐Ÿ˜
THANK YOU, love Ernie xx

Woohoo ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰, it's teatime on Good Friday and I'm on holiday until next Wednesday ๐Ÿค—. Don't worry, the shop is open tomorrow from 9am until 4pm, closed Sunday and Monday, then open again on Tuesday at 9am.
It's just me who's footloose and fancy free๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜. I think I'll have a lazy lie in tomorrow, then a walk by the river before a snooze in the afternoon ๐Ÿ‘. I need to keep my strength up for Easter Sunday because my mum has organised an Easter Egg hunt in the garden for my human cousin and I know she won't have forgotten me and Archie, so I'm hoping to find filled bones, doggy chocs, and maybe some new toys ๐Ÿ˜‹. Then there'll be the roast dinner too ๐Ÿคค๐Ÿคค.

Hi everyone ๐Ÿค—, I hope you're all ok ๐Ÿ‘
I can't believe it's Friday again, but that means I get the weekend to test out some of the new toys ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿ๐Ÿชข we've had delivered.
I'm not sure what to try first, I really like the look of the ropes, they will be great to play tug with Archie, but the balls look good too, and I can chase them round all day ๐Ÿ˜.
I think my favourite toy will be the chickens ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฅ, I do love a cuddly toy ๐Ÿค—.
This made me think of a joke ........
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to Peak Paws and Claws of course ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ.
I know, 'don't give up the day job' ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚.
Right, toy testing time. Wish me luck, love Ernie xx

Hello and happy Saturday ๐Ÿ‘‹
I hope you are all having a good weekend, I've been busy on another little project ๐Ÿ˜Š. I've taken up gardening ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ and as you can see my daffodils and lavender ๐Ÿชป are looking fabulous ๐Ÿ˜.
This made me think how much plants can cheer you up, the lovely colours, watching them grow and bloom, and making you realise that spring ๐ŸŒฑ is on the way ๐Ÿ™Œ, so we thought we'd sell some plants at the shop.
We have quite a few to choose from, we've got tete a tete daffodils at ยฃ2 each or 3 for ยฃ5, perennials like lupins, dianthus, cyclamen and aubretia ยฃ3.90 each or 3 for ยฃ10 and also some larger perennials that are individually priced
They do make a lovely display outside of the shop ๐Ÿชด๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒท๐Ÿชป
If you're thinking about brightening up your garden or window box come and have a look.
Right, I'm off now, there's pruning to be done while the weather's fine, see you soon love Ernie xx

Morning everyone, I hope you're all well ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š.
I've had a very exciting week ๐Ÿ˜Š, I got to visit the factory that makes our own brand dog and cat food ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿท๐ŸŸ๐Ÿ˜‹, it was amazing ๐Ÿคฉ, and I got to sample it ๐Ÿคค.
I've learnt all about how the food is produced from the meat, fish and vegetables being collected from the farms, to how they're prepared, cooked and packaged, to seeing our labels being printed and put on the bags.
Compared to other pet food producers who have food delivered at ambient temperatures and then cook it at 150 degrees centigrade, which vastly reduces the quality of the protein, our producer transports all ingredients in chilled vehicles and cooks the ingredients gently at 82 degrees centigrade, which not only protects the valuable protein, but increases the digestibility of the food and enhances the flavour.
I'm all for good protein and lots of flavour ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‹, and, very importantly all our foods are produced in Britain ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง.
I feel like a professor ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿซ now with all this knowledge in my head, I'll be on Mastermind before you know it ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ.
I know that lots of you already buy our food, (thank you ๐Ÿ™) but for anyone wanting to give it a go we have free sample packs for you to try and we have food for puppies, kittens, adults, seniors, small breeds, and large breeds so we've got it all covered.
Please come in and ask us if you have any questions and we'll do our best to help.
I'm off now to have a go at the Times crossword ๐Ÿ˜, see you soon, love Ernie xx

Happy Friday everyone, and happy 1st of March (apparently it's the first day of meteorological spring!!! Someone needs to let the weather know ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚)
I'm much more excited about tomorrow though, because it's my birthday ๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿฅณ and I'm going to be 3!!! ๐Ÿ™Œ
I've already picked out a few bits that I'd like as presents, hopefully mum, dad, and Archie are reading this and will look at the photos ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ˜.
There has been a lot of whispering too ๐Ÿคซ, and I hope that means a surprise party has been organised ๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ˜„, I'll let you know ๐Ÿ‘.
I need to get on now, I've still got to work even though it's nearly my birthday โ˜น๏ธ, the boss really is a slave driver!!!
Enjoy your weekend, love Ernie xx
