🚨🚨New Product Alert!!🚨🚨

Bark Bars and Quirkies.

When I place my pet food order I like to browse through the catalog and see if there is anything cool. Since we are more farm store than boutique pet store a lot of the cool stuff isn't really practical to bring in.

For as long as I've been at the mill we have always had a box of candy bars on the counter. Sure, we would sell some here and there, but really it was an excuse to have easy access to stuff our faces.
Because the cats knock everything on the floor we have not had candy bars for a while, but when I saw that these were on promotion I had to get a few boxes!

Quirkies are just fun shaped treats. These are shaped like the mail man and cats. They have others, including a few naughtier offerings, Sadly they were out of stock on those. I brought in two boxes. One for me, and one to sell.

I also had a request for hot pepper suet. Since squirrels have typical taste buds they hate it, but birds can't taste so it's fine.

If you made it this far I am overstocked on Back Gold dog food. It is currently $5 off per bag until it's gone.

I'm posting on a personal note today.

Today is . My wife, Jennifer Burget, received the gift of a legacy video. In fact, her's was the first. It was used to help Amadora become a 501c and in Jen's memory I have served as a board member since its inception.

Today I am asking for a donation in the Burget family's name. Even the smallest amount helps.
And if you know of someone that has a terminal illness or life limiting disease, please have them apply for a video of their own.
