Snow?

Alright.... does anyone know where the snow I ordered is? I heard of a sighting in TEXAS of all silly places this morning.... TEXAS??? Thieves! I want snow and I want it now! This is the time of year I miss Idaho. It will be months before we get it here in eastern PA. So, I guess I will just look at my boots and go have a chat with the snow shovel in the shed. I will tell it that I'm sorry we can't spend more time together and that it shouldnt' be jealous of the ice scraper on the few days I will have to use it soon. I hope.

sniff, sniff, is a that a SALE I smell?

Oh yes, that time of year again. Right now I have a cold so I'm not quite as ahead of the game as I would like, however, I love to throw a sale as much as I like to shop one! I'm giving all of my blog readers a spiffy heads up on the first sale for Black Friday.

My Black Friday sales run from 5am EST to 12am on Monday night, Cyber Monday. That's ALOT O SALES. We do hourly sales, sometimes two or three hours or overnight. Everything I have listed is a one on hand. Of course I have tons more than that, so if you see a flavor you want, but in a qty of more than one, just send me a convo and I will set up a listing for you.

Some sales for example may be buy x get y for free or free shipping or make your own sales, etc... We are trying to get our treats to all 50 states. I have a map with all the states we have currently shipped to marked. If you live in a state we haven't been in yet, you may get a great surprise if you order! We call this the map game and will be throwing this in as an hourly sale every so often.

Also, if you have stuck with me to this point in the post, super secret...make a purchase at any point in the sale and enter "luckyblog" you get an extra deal IN ADDITION to whatever sale is going on when you order! After you put in "luckyblog" enter either the word "Krozby" or "Maggie". If you choose Krozby, you get a free bag of Krozby's Apple Cinnamon Biscuits. If you enter Maggie, you get a free bag of Maggies Holiday Peanut Brindle. These are my two dogs so this is their contribution to the sale, lol They really wanted to help out...
Andy questions.... holla!

Fall, it's what's for dessert

This time of year is always kind of bittersweet for me. Sad that summer is leaving, glad that the humidity is down... sorry to see my backyard dying a slow death, glad to be done with the weeding...
It's everywhere, in the air, in the soil, seen on people by the clothes they are wearing. I think I need a "happy" room. A small area that is eternally one season. Must put that on the hubby's to do list.
One plus is that I am kicking the business into the season with our fall selections. My kitchen smells soooo good right now! Just put Sadie's Pumpkin Patch treats back into rotation and man, do I want me some pumpkin pie! Definately a perk of the season.

Bring on the leaves! oh wait, then there is raking.... arg!

Time to get back in gear!

Well, as we all know, I have been er, a bit behind on the blog. This time of year is very busy and by the time I get to sit down to think I have no brain juice left. I was just given the inspiration, rewards! Am I money motivated? Oh yea! I am a huge fan of Onlinelabels.com. I was fortunate to come across them when I decided that with my background in the office supply business and with the proper equipment and quality supplies, I would have no problem doing all of my labeling and printing in house. Well, thankfully, by using Onlinelabels.com, this has been way easier than running to the copy shop at all hours of the day (and night!) to print off a handful or ream of labels. They also have the biggest selection I have found anywhere. If you own a small business and have any interest in doing these tasks yourself, this is the way to go. Many of my customers comment on how good my packaging looks, or ask who does my printing. HA! it's just lil ole me.

Cute as Hell

Stumbled across this website, http://cuteashell.com last night. Quite cool! I uploaded our Maggie, check her out here: http://www.cuteashell.com/pets/3524/Maggie You can go and pick winners where they pit animal versus animal. In a cute way! Not like a mud pit or anything. No blood involved. Gonna upload the kitties later, as I have a feeling the farmers market may be a wash out so I will have unscheduled time on my hands later. NOT THAT I'M BEING NEGATIVE...mmhmm.

That time of year again

Its a love hate relationship. I love to earn money, I hate getting up early. It's all par for the course when you work out of a truck. Well, part of the year anyway. It's the opening day of The Glenside Farmers Market tomorrow, bright and early. Only, the bright part will be flipping on the light switch in the bathroom at 5am, not the outdoors. I see that it is to rain all weekend and I'm sorry, but I'm pissed! I am so well prepared that I am practically gleaming. Sunday is the opening day of the farmers market at the Whole Foods in Jenkintown. Rain on Sunday too. Man I could use some serious cheering up, lol. I will be really hoping that the weatherman is wrong as usual, and sunshine, smailes and happiness will ensue. I think I will have to get on Etsy and wallow in my sorrow by doing some serioud shopping, it always seems to do the trick. I think I just talked myself into shopping.... Well, if you are in the area, and don't mind getting a bit moist outside, please stop by and visit us! We will be giving out samples of one of our new treats, Logans Bananaa Oatmeal Cookies while they last. We will have a tent, so at least you will have something to stand under!

Off to the chambers I go....

Sigh, well, the law finally caught up with me. Thats right, Lucky Dog has jury duty tomorrow. Makes me wanna scream. It's not so much the part about shirking my "civic duty" as it is that I just don't have the time. We are gearing up for the farmers market season and time is of the essence. Gotta crank out those tasty dog treats! For those of you that are local, here is where you can find us.
Starting May 2nd we will be at the Glenside Farmers Market in Glenside, PA from 9am until 1pm. This market runs every Saturday, rain or shine until December. We will be there about every other week.

Starting May 3rd we will be at the farmers market the Whole Foods in Jenkintown, PA from 10am until 2pm. This market runs every Sunday rain or shine through September. We should be there every Sunday except the last Sunday of every month.

Starting June 6 you can find us at the North Hills Farmers Market in North Hills, PA from 10am until 2pm. This market runs every Saturday rain or shine through September. We will be there every Saturday except the last Saturday of every month.

So stop by and say hi, and please feel free to bring your pooch along as these are all outdoor markets and we just might have some samples for them!

Don't forget: if you are a visitor to the Glenside market and you haven't already, sign up for our Frequent Treaters Club. Membership is free, we keep hold of the card for you and you get points with every purchase towards free items! This is only available at the Glenside Market!

It's Finally Here!

Well, after long, hot hours of work, taxes, testing and tantrums, it's finally here: our first year in business! Thanks go out to all who have supported us locally, as well as our new etsy shop. In honor of this great occasion, and well, St. Patty's Day too, our entire shop is HALF OFF! Thats right, you heard it here, every item has been marked down to 50% off. Prices will be good until 12am the 18th. Discount does not apply to shipping. Also, make your dog a star!

I do believe I'm blushing...

Well, our new friends over at The Muddy Moose Bath Boutique has been so kind as to feature us on their blog today! What wonderful, sweet words she had to say! Thanks so much, it is highly appreciated. I met Muddy online on Etsy and in turn am in love her products as well. I will be placing a huge order soon! Her items are clean, pure and unique. Her home state is where I am currently, and my home state is right next to where she is now, on opposite sides of the country! She has recently adopted a new dog, and as you can see from her pics, is quite a beauty! Please stop by her etsy shop and take a peek, you will be hooked!

Middle of the week blues

Wednesday has historically been a day of blah for me. Not sure what to do for the weekend yet, is it too late to start a new project with any amount of energy involved? This time of the year is particularly hard for me as well being that I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, I just pretty much wanna sleep all day. However, today I'm kinda inspired. I actually got up at 5am, a new record for me in January I think... A friend of mine is taking me to a book group with her, down in the city. It should be sunny today so I think some fresh air and natural light will do me some good. Made up a batch of dog soap yesterday, which I had been putting off since before the holidays, and am feeling good about that too. Although I'm not sure I like how the soap came out, will have a better idea when I cut it later on today. This is the first time I have made a rebatch from a cold process base. I purchased it from Pudleduk Farms on Etsy, and they seem like a great bunch of folks. It came with easy to follow instuctions. I'm just not sure on the consistency. I will have to read up on it. Would be great to see an actual video of someone doing it. I learn much more easily if I can follow along. Hopefully it comes out to my liking so I can list it, as my "Clean Dog" Etsy section is a bit sparse. Gotta keep those puppehs clean!
