I never sleep in, but I slept in this morning. Sleeping in for me is not waking up naturally by 6am. My alarm woke me up at 7am. I’m up, groggy, but awake. I’ve got tea in hand and a slice of homemade banana bread. Breakfast of champions, I say!
How’s everyone faring during this pandemic? Are we going stir-crazy yet? If your pup is showing signs of boredom there’s a number of easy to play games you can do with your doggo at home, one of which is my favourite. It’s the hide a treat under a cup game. I’ve posted a video on YouTube of my dog, Raven, that you can watch and easily replicate. I started with just the one cup to make it easy for her and to teach her what to do, and then I slowly amped it up to 10 cups. Some cups had treats in them, some didn’t.
I’m always looking for the best nutrition, treats, toys and adventure gear to bring in to Beardog Cafe. I found a few treats that will be on shelves in a few weeks. That includes Stella & Chewy’s Raw Coated biscuits, Backcountry Steak and Turkey Patties, and Backcountry Lamb Venison Jerky (made in the USA), and Bristly Dental Treats (if you like the Bristly toothpaste, you’ll like the dental treats). And of course, we brought in JT’s Antler Chews, locally sourced. We hope to get more in, in sizes 8” long and 1-2” thick. These seem to be the most popular. JT, if you’re reading this, can we get some more in this size range? Thank you!
Speaking of treats, I was inspired this week to do something for folks who purchase our signature gingerbread for dogs. That something is the classic frequent purchaser card: buy 10, get 1 free. We’ll roll this out in May and for those loyalty customers who have shopped at Beardog Cafe within the past month, we’ll spot you five stamps.
That’s it for this Sunday, folks. Stay healthy. Stay happy!
Stella
