What a fun day today!

Officer Zach brought in his charming nephew and he hung out with me in the shop for a bit.

Meanwhile, Officer Whitney was “working” to find the nephew.

Officer Whitney and Officer Zach started searching from T&C and Officer Whitney brought them straight to Winslow Green and our store!

I’d do that a thousand times over. 🥰.

SO Cool.

I pulled this picture from another community event. Didn’t want to scare her right as she was “finding” her nephew ❤️

Some details from the internet:

K9 Officer Whitney is a search-and-rescue bloodhound with the Bainbridge Island Police Department (BIPD), paired with handler Officer Zach Burnham. Sworn in around 2019, she specializes in finding missing persons and serves as a community resource dog. Whitney is known for her community outreach, school visits, and for being a popular, friendly presence in town

Some sad news today. Bailey peacefully passed away last night surrounded by loved ones. I hope you all have wonderful memories of the goof ball that he was. As you can imagine, we are heartbroken. RIP Bailey 🌈 💚

So late last night we had to say goodbye to a very very special dog. Bailey was almost 13 years old. We were able to FaceTime the entire family to say a final goodbye. . He was an incredibly special dog his person (he loved EVERYONE) and while we FaceTimed the family (both girls in the UK, and family in Seattle where Bailey was) we all reminisced about some of the goofy funny things he did… like we called him the camel because he’s stand at the door when it was raining absolutely refusing to go out to p*e or his feet would get wet (oh the drama). He was so wonderful with the kids always allowing them to dress him up in costumes, play with them just like he was one of their dolls. When Austin and I moved to Seattle in 2017, they became the best of friends going on hikes, swimming, chasing balls and stealing my snacks (and the occasional burger) off my plate - he even found a full sandwich in a hedge on a run one day 🤦🏽‍♀️ - boy was he stealth. He was an overall love bug. And he was also our nervous Nelly hiding in closets during storms and under covers during fireworks; and hence we named our Bailey’s, No more Wiggles product after him and who would’ve ever thought that special Springer Spaniel would have led us to create our most popular product ever?

But for now I just want to remember him as the dog that would be up for any adventure especially if chasing squirrels was in the plan. He’d always be there for the cuddles that the kids needed when they were happy or sad. The happiest pup ever.
RIP our dear furry friend you will be very, very missed.

We love you. Enjoy the other, side treats will be plentiful. Squirrels will be everywhere.

We’ll see you someday and again we love you to the moon and back 💚🌈💚

Be aware. IMPORTANT!

Like all of us, they are having staffing issues.
So please be patient and kind.

These folks saved the life of my Tula girl.

They do a lovely job.

Tula was very ill last fall. We arrived at 10pm and left at 3am.
The team handling our case was AMAZING.

They even billed my pet insurance before we left.

Turns out Tula had pneumonia. 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Dear Pet Owners and Community Members,

We want to share an important update about our emergency service hours.
Like many veterinary hospitals, we are experiencing staffing challenges. To ensure we can continue providing emergency care during the times our community needs it most—especially evenings, weekends, and holidays when many family veterinary practices are closed—we are making a temporary adjustment to our ER intake hours.

Beginning on March 29, we will not be receiving emergency cases between 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. During this time, our team will continue caring for patients currently hospitalized with us.

If your pet has a medical emergency during these weekday daytime hours, we recommend contacting your primary care veterinarian, as many local practices are open and able to provide urgent care.

Our Internal Medicine and Surgery services remain fully operational, and their schedules and availability are not affected by these changes.

Our priority is ensuring we have the team members available to provide safe, high-quality care when pets in our community need it most. We appreciate your understanding and continued trust in our team.

People talk to us about Farmers Dog nearly every day.

We are thrilled to hear people are starting to add more fresh to their pets bowl!

However, please be diligent to understand the ingredients in the fresh you’re feeding.

This is a good chart to give you food for thought.

We carry 5 gently cooked brands.

is just one of the five.

Feel free to come in and ask more 😊.

If you know us, we are all about quality ingredients and transparency of sourcing.

The chart outlines things decently well for the brands listed.

We look forward to good conversations with you 🐶

I woke up to a lovely note from my brother.

“Καλά Χριστούγεννα! “.

In Greek it means “Good Christmas!”

It was perfect because it reminds me of my heritage.

It reminds me of my mother who came to US from Greece after world war 2….all by herself.

How ever you appreciate your holidays, I hope your time is joyful.

Personally, I will be home resting with my furry kids and thinking of “Good Christmas!” from my brother.

It’s been a TOUGH year for a small retailer. Please know I appreciate all of your support. 🥰

Much love. Katia.

As it’s been a challenging year, we don’t often get to do as many donations as we used to.

Usually, we’ve just cut back to pet only events.

But when we are able, it makes our whole day when we get notes like this back.
(Not expected, but appreciated!)

Have a happy holiday 😊

Dear Stewie…..

I have been worried about you.

You’d started missing your daily “drive bys” for a snack.

Your mom was kind enough to drop off a note for us.

I REALLY thought you were gonna surprise everyone and pull through.

Have fun up there ❤️.

You are already missed.

We are sorry to hear about the loss of Walter.

He was an amazing Wildernest shop dog who greeted SO many of us.

We were lucky enough to have Walter visit us at Z Bones once in a while

When he was in our shop, it felt like we had someone famous in to visit ❤️.

Walter went to heaven on Friday, Nov. 7th.

You will be missed Walter!

Maybe look for little z bone ….. I’m sure he’d be happy to show you around up there.

❤️❤️❤️
