Day 2, new & improved booth!😁

I know that I showed you my AKC booth yesterday…but I brought more fixtures this morning and managed to make more room for you to shop AND fit all of the new toys!😀

Since we’ve already had some thunder and have more on the way tonight, note the prominent ThunderShirt display.🙂

The weather has turned into a perfect dog show day and that should last all afternoon.

Come and say hi if you’re heading out here!

The AKC Summer Classic is underway!

This is western Canada’s biggest dog show and runs through Monday at the Okotoks Agricultural Society.

Come down to see the dogs, talk to breeders, watch all of the dog sport competitions, and shop at all of the vendors.

I’ve got a booth full of dog toys & enrichment products, and a big clearance section of toys & puzzles!

Books are available by order and can be picked up over the weekend.

I’ll do a separate post for book orders, so that you can get all the books you need.🙂

Since I’m not at the dog show today, I’m experimenting with creating some new toys!

There should be some fun new additions to my booth at the AKC Summer Classic next weekend! 😃

I had a good time seeing everybody at the UKC Dog Show yesterday.🙂

MountainView Canine Association did a wonderful job of putting on their very first show!

It was a great atmosphere in a beautiful setting and will be even bigger next year as the word gets out about it.

Unfortunately, it was too quiet for me, as a vendor, to stay for the second day. The cooler weather might have kept people away, but we were all happy that it didn’t actually rain.🙂

Good luck to all of you in the ring today!

Sidney Pet Centre in Sidney BC is stocking up on Mungo’s Snuffle Mats and a colourful mix of tug toys.😀

Here are the rest of the books that I’d pulled for the conference live chat.

I wanted to have a good variety to show you.😁

I thought that I’d share them before I put them back in the shelves.

Let me know if you see one that you have to have!🙂

Mungo’s Books customers are the BEST!!❤️

Did you know?…
More than half of you send me a note as soon as you receive your order, to tell me that it’s arrived safely and say how excited you are to receive it.

I could not love this more!🥰

You share pictures of your dogs with their new toys, snuffling in their snuffle mats, showing off what they’ve learned from your latest book.

I get to see your puppies playing with the packaging and cats sitting in the boxes I sent.😁

You rarely show yourselves, but I do love seeing pictures of you holding up your new books, from those of you who are brave enough to take a selfie.😉

This one was a thank you taken right outside the post office door.🙂

PLEASE keep doing this! I appreciate it more than you know!❤️
