Our “One Year Here” Party, March 20!

It’s time to kick off your shoes and come on down and celebrate with us! Okay, maybe you’ll want to leave your shoes on, but you don’t want to miss this…
On March 20, join us for a full work day of food, drink, and deals as we celebrate the one-year anniversary of our storefront. We’ll have a keg, live DJs, snacks, dogs, the premier of our new commercial, and amazing bargains. Well behaved dogs on-leash welcome, party animals encouraged! The deets:

Oh, and if the picture above is giving you deja vu, it’s probably because you remember our store’s Grand Opening last year. Xdog was just a wee pup and we were full of enthusiasm about our new venture. This ring a bell?

See you there!
People Pets Promotes Paco!

It’s not every day you get featured on the People Magazine online Pets page so we’re pretty excited! Check out the article here.
and the winner is…

While the photo was submitted with the caption, “This photo speaks for itself” we actually found the perfect caption within the comments: “It’s PACO not TACO…no you can’t eat it!”
This Facebook competition turned out to be more brutal than we ever thought it could be. Who knew that when we announced, “Anarchy encouraged!” people would actually hold us to it? While things got hairy at times, we were proud to see contestants actually self-regulated, made agreements amongst each other, and agreed to a fair, spam-free fight (for the most part… our bad for not making spam blatantly illegal).
In the end, the best man (er, photo) won. The award couldn’t have gone to a more deserving cause, Ruff Mutt Border Collie Rescue. If you want to see some amazing photos, you should cruise the site. We can’t wait to see the winning collar go through all the abuse the Ruff Mutt dogs have to offer!
We’ll post the winner of the-photo-that-made-Paco-Collars-laugh-the-hardest (which also wins a collar) later today on Facebook… stay tuned!
