Driving too fast again?
April 2007
We hope this time of year sends you running outside to scamper and play along with your doggie. Time to run and fetch after all those months of winter. Go play! Margot

Pet food recall:
We are so sorry to hear about so many dogs and cats effected by the latest pet
food recalls, AND, we are so grateful to all the calls and emails we have received
from Blue Dog customers thanking us for making safe, clean, healthy treats.
We are NOT effected by these recalls as we use only the highest quality bakery ingredients. These are the same ingredients – milk, flour, eggs etc that go into the cookies we make for people. WE do not use wheat gluten and all our ingredients are from the USA.
We are in NO WAY connected with Menu Foods, Sunshine Mills their
products, manufacturing facilities, etc. Hope this puts your mind to rest. Give
those doggies an extra hug for us tonight.

MERLOT and FRENCH CHEESE:
“I tried a box of your biscuits for my 15 year old Golden Retriever. While
he was enjoying the biscuit, I read the ingredients and after seeing that the
ingredients looked completely healthy I decided to try one myself. The texture
was perfect. Not too soft not too hard. The initial flavor was quite enjoyable.
You could really taste the mollasses and a hint of the peanut butter with a
smooth finish.
Last night while purchasing another box, I offered one to the
butcher at the local Vons supermarket. He took one bite, then commenced in devouring
the rest of the biscuit. This is not a joke, it really happened. Tonight I'm
going to wash down a couple of your biscuits with a nice merlot and perhaps
a wedge of some good french cheese. I lived in Ballard for some years so it
doesn't surprise me such an outstanding product came out of Seattle.........Me
and my dog Thank You.”

Puppy Size
“Danielle keeps repeating it over and over again. We've
been back to this animal shelter at least five times. It has been weeks now
since we started all of this," the mother told the volunteer.
"What is it she keeps asking for?" the volunteer asked.
"Puppy size!" replied the mother.
"Well, we have plenty of puppies, if that's what she's looking for."
"I know...we have seen most of them," the mom said in frustration.
Just then Danielle came walking into the office.
"Well, did you find one?" asked her mom. "No, not this time,"
Danielle said with sadness in her voice. "Can we come back on the weekend?"
The two women looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed.
"You never know when we will get more dogs. Unfortunately, there's always
a supply," the volunteer said.
Danielle took her mother by the hand and headed to the door. "Don't worry,
I'll find one this weekend," she said.
Over the next few days both mom and dad had long conversations with her. They
both felt she was being too particular. "It's this weekend or we're not
looking any more," Dad finally said in frustration. "We don't want
to hear anything more about puppy size either," Mom added.
Sure enough, they were the first ones in the shelter on Saturday morning. By
now Danielle knew her way around, so she ran right for the section that housed
the smaller dogs. Tired of the routine, mom sat in the small waiting room at
the end of the first row of cages.
There was an observation window so you could see the animals during times when
visitors weren't permitted. Danielle walked slowly from cage to cage, kneeling
periodically to take a closer look. One by one the dogs were brought out and
she held each one. One by one she said, "Sorry, you're not the one."
It was the last cage on this last day in search of the perfect pup. The volunteer
opened the cage door and the child carefully picked up the dog and held it closely.
This time she took a little longer. "Mom, that's it! I found the right
puppy! He's the one! I know it!" she screamed with joy. "It's the
puppy size!"
"But it's the same size as all the other puppies you held over the last
few weeks," Mom said.
"No, not size ---- the sighs. When I held him in my arms, he sighed,"
she said. "Don't you remember? When I asked you one day what love is, you
told me love depends on the sighs of your heart. The more you love, the bigger
the sigh!"
The two women looked at each other for a moment. Mom didn't know whether to
laugh or cry. As she stooped down to hug the child, she did a little of both.
"Mom, every time you hold me, I sigh. When you and Daddy come home from
work and hug each other, you both sigh. I knew I would find the right puppy
if it sighed when I held it in my arms," she said. Then holding the puppy
up close to her face she said, "Mom, he loves me. I heard the sighs of
his heart!"
