Mardi Gras, Bigwag Style!
Yesterday we had our annual Mardi Gras Yappie Hour. We had a great time and gave away a $50 gift basket for finding the "baby" in the King Cake.

The Power of One
Hey Everyone!
You always hear that one person can make a difference. It's said so often that it's become cliche. But every once in a while we get a glimpse at how true it really is.
We have a customer who recently has begun "paying it forward". I won't mention her name, because recognition isn't her intention. But I will tell you that the last few times she has come in to purchase food for her pups, she also purchases an extra bag for the next person who comes in for food. That in itself is remarkable and inspiring.
But, what is amazing is the reaction to her gift. The next customer is often floored, and speechless and thankful. Then, when they recover, they want to find a way to continue passing along the good will. For example, the last customer who got free food continued paying it forward by buying treat mix for the next customer and that customer bought an extra bag of treat mix and donated it to the Humane Society. And, it doesn't end there. Those of us who work here are equally inspired, as are people who hear about or witness these acts. And while these simple acts aren't curing cancer or eliminating homelessness they are brightening people's days and reassuring others that there is still hope and love in a world that sometimes seems to have run amok.
So, thank you to the remarkable customer who began this and to all who have participated in it. You all inspire us to be better human beings.
