Simba + Nala made the world-wide news!

Well... Not quite. But being mentioned in an e-newsletter counts in my mind. ;)

I just had to post about this cute excerpt from Love of Dog Bakery's January e-Newsletter c/o my sis! :)))

We want your Tastemonials!

December's favorite Tastemonial came from our old friends Simba & Nala in Jacksonville, Florida. Here's what their people had to say ...

"It's really uncanny. I get packages of yarn and books and Simba and Nala don't even notice. When I get a package from you, they *know* that the package is for them. They get super excited and Simba loses it. All of a sudden he is jumping on the countertop, when he knows better. He really never jumps on the counter, even when we are fixing him a plate of Thanksgiving turkey, that's how good he is. But all bets are off when he *knows* its from your bakery. Ooops! ;)"

Sorry to get you into trouble Simba! But we both know that these treats are totally worth it!

We LOVE to hear from you! Send in your dog's Tastemonial (hayle@loveofdogbakery.com) and we'll post it on our website and send you a small gift to say "thanks!" Add a picture and your dog just might make it into next month's e-newsletter!

Sniff Out Our Tastemonials

good to know for all dog peeps

DO NOT USE Sentry XFC Pro flea + tick medicine for your pups!

According to my boss, it most likely will cause a really bad chemical burn on your little friend if applied to their skin. :(((

She is filing complaints against Sargeant + is passing the word around not to use their product. Just helping her out to spare all the pups in the world.

*Happy Birthday to my Nala !!*

I keep thinking that my pup's birthday is in September only because that was the month that I woke up as early as 7am to go with my dad + pick her up at his workplace.

Back in 2001, one of my dad's workmates was giving us a puppy. A mutt, mind you, but cute as ever. His workmate pulled out a cardboard box from the back seat of her car + revealed this wrinked, furry little creature that we later named Nala. She was wide-eyed + looked a little tired; most likely from napping while waiting for us. When my dad drove us back home, she was napping again right on my lap [yeh, she was that tiny!] + not moving an inch during the whole ride. I will never forget that day we brought Nala to her new home. :)))

I will need to scan photos from that morning. She is still cute as ever + of course, has her dispositions [I'll save those stories for another time; for those that know me, just ask, hehe]. But, I love that monkeyface all the same. ;)

*Happy Birthday, Simba !!

Happy Birthday to my adorable, first ever mutt, Simbone! I sure miss that knucklehead. He's so smart that he acts dumb just to get away with everything. Like, for instance, eating an entire half-pound of peanut m&m's while everyone is away at work + managing to stash away the evidence [aka candy bag wrapper] underneath the coffee table. It all made sense once he upchucked [haha, always wanted to blog that word] his afternoon treat on the kitchen doormat. Nice going, Simba! ;D

I do love that silly mutt. :))) Enjoy your berday, boy!








Oh, I didn't blog the entire month o' May, man. Wussupwiddat? Hello June.

Just [c]lick it already.

You're gonna keel ova from the cute, no joke!
