Pictures from Our Birthday

Hey Everyone!

I am still trying to catch up on everything from our birthday party. We did actually manage to take some pictures on our own (mostly thanks to Terresa) so I wanted to go ahead and post some here.

We had lots of fantastic vendors from the pet community


And even some from outside the pet community - the girls from The Frosted Cupcake sold bows for children and dogs. We're looking forward to their bows and tutus being available in our store!


When we say Bigwag is a family, we mean it! Adam, Brandi's boyfriend, did all the cooking... with Brandi's assistance
THANK YOU ADAM!


It wouldn't be a party without Toni being, well... Toni


Northwest Arkansas Animal Rescue provided low cost microchipping and had kittens available for adoption

Winners from our Birthday!

Hello All!

Today is another segment in my line of "I'm so behind it's not funny" blog posts. At our birthday party last Saturday there were lots of contests and prizes given away, not only by us but by the vendors in attendance as well. So I just wanted to congratulate all the winners and share who they are and what they won here.

Donna F. won 2 free pet visits from Sue Blumenfeld, The Errand Girl. Sue runs an awesome business for busy people. She'll do anything from renewing your tags to mailing your packages to grocery shopping!

Angela M. won a free grooming from Aussie Pet Mobile. Melvin and Viviana from Aussie Pet Mobile bring the grooming to you in their mobile pet unit - no more driving to the groomer! They service the entire Northwest Arkansas area. Melvin is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met - he's full of information on everything from dental health to how nutrtion affects your dog's coat.

The NWA K-9 Disc Club awarded three prizes - 1st prize of discs, a leash, a collar and a leash holder went to Claudia H., 2nd prize went to Viviara P. and 3rd Prize went to Dale T. Matt Srum is the president of the NWA K-9 Disc Club and he has done a fantastic job organizing and building this organization. If you're interested in teaching your dog to play disc, check out his website.

The winner of our Biggest Wag contest was Paul K. or rather his dog, Jeff Smith. Jeff Smith was a rescue from a backyard breeder. He came to Paul is terrible shape, in need of food and attention, but now he is a wonderful success story. He wagged so hard he wagged not only his tail but his head. They won a gift basket worth $90.




Rachel Sloan of Rachel Sloan Photography also captured Cary giving Paul the gift basket and lots of other great photos of our event which you can view on her website.

Finally, the winners of our year of Free Treats Contest were Margaret Choffel and her dogs, Lillian and Stella. They were voted winners by our fantastic customers!

Get your story ready, because we'll hold this contest annually and you can enter at anytime at www.contest.bigwag.com!

We also want to say a big thanks to all of the other vendors who came out and supported us - American K-9 Academy, Angel Pet Sitters, Doggie Heaven, The Dog Scouts, The Frosted Cupcake, Lesli Eschbacher, Camp Bow Wow, New Hope Animal Hospital, Good Steward Pet Sitting, Northwest Arkansas Animal Rescue, Murphy Dog Park and Humane Society for Animals
Our birthday party wouldn't have been as great without all of these wonderful people. And thanks also to our fantastic customers who make everything we do possible!

Our Birthday Press Release & More

Hey Everyone!

I just finished the copy for the ad we're running in next week's Morning News. It's not much different than the posters and invites we did previously, but I thought I'd post it here anyway, so you can see it! I'm also posting the press release we sent out to the local papers, just for kicks. We have lots of great vendors lined up including: American K-9 Academy, Angel Pet Sitters, Aussie Pet Mobile, Camp Bow Wow, Fetch! Petcare, Murphy Dog Park, NWA Animal Rescue, New Hope Animal Hospital, Rachel Sloan Photography, The Dog Scouts, The Errand Girl and The Frosted Cupcake. We also think Denise Holmes from Ain't Misbehavin' and Felechia from Dog Days Doggie Daycare might make it out. And the goody bags are shaping up to be pretty awesome, I won't tell you what we've got so far, but I think you'll like it! So please, stop by July 25th from 9am-12pm and join us!

P.S. If you can't make it out Saturday for some reason, we're also having a ribbon cutting with the Chamber of Commerce on Friday, July 24th at 11am, so maybe you can stop by on your lunch hour for that!
