Blue Dog Bakery - January 2013

January 2013

Cheers to a New Year!

Well, it is our 15th year of business and we are jumping into 2013 feet first! We are excited about wrapping up our Pet Treat Pantry Program in the upcoming months and seeing how many families and dogs we are able to help with YOUR help! Between that, various upcoming events, and continued interest in Blue Dog Bakery, we are keeping ourselves very busy!

As we kick off another year, I invite you all to email us about any upcoming dog related events! Blue Dog Bakery has a "say yes" policy for fundraisers, raffles, etc. to help keep our favorite dog-related organizations going. Send an email to bluedog@bluedogbakery.com and we will be sure to get your donations scheduled.

Here's to you and your pooches in 2013!

Pet Treat Pantry

We have been getting amazing feedback about our Pet Treat Pantry. We are thrilled that so many of you have embraced this! The program runs through the end of March 2013, so keep an eye out for those specially marked boxes!

Having fun with your pooch this winter!

Although our definition of "cold" here in Seattle seems pretty wimpy to most of the country, we have still found ourselves at odds with what to do during the colder months to stave off boredom and keep our dogs active (you know what they say about idle paws...). Here are a few ideas that will hopefully keep both you and your pooch entertained:

Make your own dog toys - Pinterest.com and other great craft idea sites have some great tips and tricks for how to make your own toys. This will give you something to do and your dog something to play with!
Don't be scared to venture outside - your dog will love you for this! What better way to say "I love you" than to freeze your tails off together?
Have a doggie play date - Invite a few friends with dogs over and let the dogs romp around and play while you catch up. You are promised to have one exhausted pooch by the end of the day!
Teach your dog a new trick to keep their mind active!
