Okay, this day began at 6am with my Nerds. Addy, on her way to get her juice out of the fridge announced that Cher had peed on the floor. I staggered to the kitchen, unmedicated and uncaffienated, to discovered it was also covered with House Horse DIARRHEA. YIPPEEE!
Next up was the agonizing wait for an overnight delivery of turtles, gecko, frog and spider. Delivery was scheduled for 'before noon' (subsequently the time I open the store on Wednesdays, and I live 20 minutes away!🤦‍♀️) Poor Scott the Fed Ex driver probably soiled himself when I darted from my running vehicle to ward him to grab my package at 11:50. Hopefully I made up for it by giving him an instant lottery ticket. (May the odds be in your favor).
After a crazy day of time- consuming activities at the store, I am just now able to reveal some of the new acquisitions and changes this past week.
ENJOY....🥰

Happy New Year!

What dog training goals do you have for the year?

For me and my pups, my goal is to work on scentwork and work on finishing Harley’s PACH (preferred agility champion title).

I look forward to seeing more happy faces and petting ALL the dogs. ❤️

More new babies. I am on cuteness overload! They will be featured in the Laila Marie Learning Center from 12-3 today.

Let's end this year on a high note🎶!
I'm open 12-5 today (closed tomorrow)so I can ring in the New Year with my Nerds 🤓. So, for the inconvenience of shortened hours, I am offering you 20% off of EVERYTHING.
I'm going to rearrange the store in the coming weeks and the less I have to shuffle around, the better. (I'm old, fat, lazy and half crippled 🤷‍♀️.)
So come and see all of the new stuff I got in recently, take advantage of me, save some dough, then go home and party like it's 1999!🥳

This is a post to show you the 'why' of what I do.
This young man wanted a bearded dragon, so his father and I set up the surprise through multiple conversations and communications. Tonight, they came in and picked him up.
Thank you Garret and Huntley for giving my heart a 'happy'. And Huntley...thanks for the smile, kiddo!! 🥰🥰🥰

Did you get some Christmas money to spend? Stop in today or tomorrow while I'm still full of Christmas spirit and take advantage of some awesome deals. If you are one of my Chicago area customers, Brittany Colyer will be at Scott Smith's All Animal Expo on Sunday and I can send your prepaid purchase with her for a more convenient pick up location. Check out the pictures and message me with any questions. I'd like to reduce my inventory by January 1 to make way for a new and exciting 2026. I have so much in mind!!

A new beginning....

In January of 2018, Lori Boekeloo became the proprietor of the new and improved TANKS Pet Supply. She added the addendum to the name by adding Boek-el-ZOO as a play on her own last name. It also reflected her desire to create a zoo environment at the store, encompassing education and interaction with the animals there. Though the store has gone through many changes over the years, one thing remained constant- a passion for pets. Lori worked in pet stores through her college years, both corporate and ‘mom and pop’ stores. 30 years passed and she began working part time at TANKS in the winter of 2017. Paired with her love of children and education, Lori plans on bringing that aspect to the store by hosting field trips and educational programs in the recently remodeled Bob Miller Learning Center at the rear of the store. Lori has the goal of making the NEW TANKS a fun place to come and learn and explore. She wants to provide unique experiences and encounters with animals and breeds not commonly seen. There will be workshops and opportunities to socialize with other animal lovers and enthusiasts. So come and see what she has to offer!
