Our latest addition will be Cupcakes and Mudpies for dogs from Lazy Dog Cookies Co. These are fantastic and will be hard for humans to resist eating.
Lazy Dog’s entire line of Holistic treats are Soft-baked and FREE of Wheat, Corn & Soy. They are topped with only 100% REAL freeze-dried fruits, nuts & vegeatbles and packed full of beneficial ingredients with flavors dogs love.
We have started with their Collie’s Old Fashion Cupcakes - $2.00

Blue’s Raspberry Bombe - 4″ in diameter and sale for $3.00 each

They are shipping on 3/19 and we know these will be a great favorite. They have a large selection and we will add more during the next few weeks. They also have larger version - 6″ diameters and fancy treats: eclairs, cannoli, petite squares.
We finally found a vendor for birthday cakes that are affordable, attractive and shelf life is great. These are made out of all natural and safe ingredients for your dogs.
We received our first Friday 3/17/07 and by Saturday we are down to one tea cake. We have ordered more and they should be here by the end of this week.
Cakes vary in colors - we have asked for spring/summer colors. The Large cakes are 6″ in diameter - $15.00
The Guest Cakes are 3″ in diameter - $6.00
Then there are the Tea Cakes - which are 2 1/2″ in diameter and run about $4.99 - Great for individual dogs.
We think everyone will be pleased with these new additions - stop by the shop and check them out!
We have added a new area on this blog - on the right hand side you will see a category Dogblogs. We will keep adding to this list as time goes by…but these are interesting or just fun to go to.
Under Blogroll you will find a new link to Dog & Cat Jigsaw Puzzles. I love online jigsaws - check it out and have fun!
Have to say it was a real quiet week at the shop. I had hoped for a busy week end, since it was the first of the month…no such luck.
I guess in someways it was destiny - we were going to have to close early each day because of our sick cat…but she did not make it past Tuesday. We had to put her to sleep, sad days at our house.
We decided to offer free shipping for all our customers who request delivery within the continental US. This will eliminate any problems with regular customers at our shop ordering and wanting to pick-up at our shop.
We will offer a discount on all other shipping - international charge - cost of basic shipping here. This way all can enjoy the free shipping.
Bronze and Pink K9 Optics doggles have arrived. We received xxsm, xsm, and small…these will go fast, they are very popular on the little dogs. Doggles lowered their prices this year…so they are only $12.99.
Why Doggles…is it a joke? No doggles are not a joke.
For dogs with the increasingly common eye disease, Pannus, Doggles are proving themselves very useful. It is well known that dogs with Pannus should stay out of direct sun and get protection from UV light. Doggles are a great alternative for those dogs that can’t stay inside during the day.
Doggles also provide protection from wind and debris. Whether your dog rides in a sidecar, on a motorcycle, or in the back of a pickup, he/she needs eye protection.
Most dogs will readily accept Doggles after a short adjustment period. Training your dog to wear the goggles can be accomplished in a small amount of time if you follow these easy steps:
1) Don’t put the goggles on your dog while indoors. Imagine yourself wearing dark tinted glasses inside. You cannot see, and neither can your dog.
2) When you first put the goggles on your dog, don’t let him paw at the glasses or roll to get them off. Reassure him that its okay. Take him immediately to bright sunlight and let him realize that he can see with them on. Walk around, get his mind off the goggles.
3) Try to go through this routine as often as possible. The number of training sessions required depends on your dog.
New Id tags are doing well. These run around $30 and you can have 2 lines.
I seem to be getting behind on my posting. We have been busy at the shop…plus it is time to put together everything our accountant needs. That is never fun!
We were actually open Monday for about 4 hours…but it was real quiet downtown…so we finished up around 3:30. I am not sure where everyone was, but they were not downtown Lodi or out on Swenson Golf course where Larry was playing.
This will be a work in progress…as time permits, I will keep adding to this posting.
