Are You Ready for Round 2?

Hey Everyone!

It looks like winter weather is here again, poised to dump inches of snow on us us overnight.  Are you ready for it?  In order to help you be prepared, we're offering 10% OFF food and 20% OFF everything else** in the store if you tell us you're stocking up for the storm.  This offer is good TODAY ONLY!!!  So, whether you need chews and toys to keep you dog occupied or a sweater to keep him warm, stop in today before the close of business to save money while you stock up.

 

These cute little guys just came in today, but we'll still give you 20% OFF them if you stock up today!

**This discount is NOT valid on Frontline, but you can still pre-order Frontline and Advantix at wholesale prices until close of business Saturday, February 13th.

Your Winter Weather Pics

Hey Everyone!

I'm just going to publish your winter weather pics as you send them to me so that I don't end up holding onto them and posting them in April...  So here is the first of hopefully many.

 

Terri Karel sent this picture of Drake playing in the snow in Bentonville

Winter Weather

Hey Everyone!

We've been closed the past few days due to the weather, but we're planning to open today at 10:30am. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes, we hate not being open, but we want everyone to be safe, including our staff and customers!




On an up note, we have a newsletter coming out this week - look for the annual Frontline stock-up announcement!

Also, we saw lots of great pictures of dogs in the snow over the weekend, send them to us at sales@bigwag.com and we'll post them on our blog. :D

Hannah's Birthday

Hey Everyone!

We celebrated Hannah's birthday on Tuesday, January 26th. While we don't know exactly how old Hannah is, owing to the fact that we adopted her from the Humane Society as an adult, we're saying it was her seventh! We are very grateful to the Humane Society for bringing Hannah into our lives and we wanted to give something back, so we donated 10% of all Yappy Hour purchases to them and our fantastic customers made sure the evening was a success.

We had a lot of fun and Hannah enjoyed having the store and the attention all to herself. (Sam stayed at home and probably slept on the couch.)

As a rule, we try to come up with something fun and new for each of a the dogs' birthdays. For Sam's birthday we came up with the dog food bowl cake, which meant we really had to top ourselves for Hannah. We tossed around a lot of cute cake ideas from cakes shaped like her favorite toys to new flavors.

But, in the end it wasn't the cake that was the innovation, but rather what was on top - Edible Dog Candles! I think Hannah may be the very first dog to ever have them! Of course, they don't actually burn, but they're cute just the same, and as far as Hannah was concerned, they're better because you can eat them!

I'm looking forward to carrying them in the store soon, in a variety of fun colors so that all Arkansas dogs can celebrate their birthdays in style!

Time Warp Photos

Hey Everyone!

The other day, Cary posted an essay of what we accomplished in 2009.  But, I am of the opinion that a picture is worth 1000 words, so I thought I would share pictures of what the store looks like now, and what it looked like then...  Enjoy

Just for posterity, this is the first Bigwag picture I ever received from Cary, the day he and Toby brought the dough sheeter home (and I mean home, literally, we had no location for the store yet)

Keep in mind, this is three months after we opened.  Toby was building the shelf in the middle of the store, but everything else was just as you see it!

These photos aren't great whole store pictures, but they're the last ones I have from 2009 after the rearrangement.  Guess we got busy this December and forgot to take any full store shots, so I'll take one today for a final comparison.
