🐾🎉🌭 HOT DIGGITY DOG… BACK ROAD BOARDING IS TURNING 9! 🌭🎉🐾
And apparently I’ve decided the only appropriate way to celebrate 9 years of Back Road Boarding is to throw our biggest dog-themed Pawty yet! 😂🐶❤️
📅 Sunday, August 23rd
⏰ 12:00–3:00 PM
📍 Back Road Boarding
🎟️ FREE admission!
👨👩👧👦🐶 Fun fur the WHOLE family — two-legged AND four-legged!
I’ve been Amazon Prime-ing my way through Pawty planning like an absolute lunatic 😂📦🤪 and every time I think I’m finished, I come up with something else… so here is your GIANT rundown of everything we have planned! Don’t worry, I left a surprise or two! 🤭🐾
🐾 FIRST THINGS FIRST — GRAB YOUR PAWTY CHECKLIST!
We have SO much happening that I literally made you a checklist. 😂 Grab one when you arrive, check everything off as you make your way around the Pawty, and complete the entire checklist fur a PRIZE! 🏆🐾
Here’s what you’ll be checking off…
🎟️ 1. SIGN IN TO WIN THE BARKDAY BAG!
One lucky Pawty guest is going home with an entire BARKday Bag packed full of dog toys! 🐶🎁
Sign you AND your pup in when you arrive fur your chance to win!
🎫 2. PLAY A SCRATCH-OFF!
The first 50 guests get a scratch-off with 8 chances to WIN A FREE T-SHIRT! 👕🎉
💅 3. SIGN YOUR DOG UP FUR A NAIL TRIM!
Our friends from Juno’s Ruff Cuts will be joining us and offering $9 NAIL TRIMS throughout the Pawty! 🐾✂️
Sign your pup up when you arrive and get those paws Pawty-ready!
🎁 4. GRAB YOUR DOGGIE BAG!
EVERY PAWTY GUEST gets one! Because with everything happening, you’re gonna need somewhere to put all your Pawty loot. 😂🛍️🐶
And don’t worry, pawrents… I even made name tags fur every Doggie Bag because I already know our little Pawty animals are going to set theirs down somewhere in the middle of all the fun and have absolutely NO idea which one belongs to them. 😂😂
🎯 5. PLAY THE GUESSING GAMES!
Think you’re good at eyeballing a jar? We’re putting you to the test! 😂
🌭 Hot Dog Treat Guessing Game
🥔 Paw-tato Chip Guessing Game
One guess per person, pawlease! The closest guess WITHOUT going over wins! 🏆
🔎 6. GRAB A SCAVENGER HUNT BAG!
Because the dogs aren’t getting ALL the fun! 😂
Our human-friendly scavenger hunt is ready fur the kiddos! Grab your scavenger hunt bag, start searching and see what goodies you can find along the way! 🔍🐾🎁
🐶❤️ 7. STOP BY THE PUPPY ADOPTION CENTER!
We’ll have our very own Puppy Adoption Center where the kiddos can pick out a puppy to adopt and take home! 🥹🐶❤️
And speaking of adoption…
Our REAL retired lady Lela will also be at the Pawty hoping to fetch more than a toy… she’s looking to fetch a heart & home! 🏡🎾❤️
Lela is my 8½-year-old retired Lauden Labs girl, and she’ll be mingling with potential retirement families throughout the day. She loves people, kids, swimming, fetch, toys and giving absolutely ZERO consideration to personal space. 😂💋
🛍️ 8. VISIT OUR VENDORS!
Make sure you make your rounds because we have some pretty awesome people joining the Pawty!
👕 Back Road Boarding Apparel — get your paws on some BRB gear!
💄 Savage Beauty Artistry
🍋 Nova’s Lemonade Stand
🍦 Aubrey’s Pup Cup Stand
🐾 Juno’s Ruff Cuts
There will be goodies, treats, drinks and more scattered around the Pawty!
🪙 And don’t furget your quarters! 🤪
🌭 9. GRAB SOME GRUB — BECAUSE THE MENU HAS GONE TO THE DOGS!
Obviously we couldn’t throw a BARKiversary Pawty and give the food normal names. 😂🌭
On the menu:
🌭 Hot Dogs
🥓 Wiener Dogs — bacon-wrapped mini hot dogs
🥗 Pawsta Salad
🥔 Paw-tato Chips
🔥 Bark-B-Q Chips
🌽 Corn Dogs — except we made them out of TWINKIES! 😂
🧁 Pupcakes
🍦 Pup Cups
Come hungry because I planned this event like you love food as much as you love dogs! 😂🐶🌭
🎈📸 10. TAKE A PIC AT THE BALLOON ARCH!
You can’t come to the 9th BARKiversary Pawty without getting photographic evidence! 😂📸
Stop by our balloon arch, grab the kids, grab the dogs, grab your friends and TAKE THE PICTURE! ❤️
📲📸 11. SUBMIT YOUR PAWTY PHOTOS!
You’ll find a QR code right on your Pawty Checklist so you can send your pictures from the day straight to us!
I want to see this Pawty through everybody else’s camera roll too! 🥹😂❤️
📚🐶 12. LIVE DOG BARK READING AT 2:00 PM!
Okay… technically it’s a book reading, but “Live Dog BARK Reading” was way too good not to use. 😂
Author Alissa Webster will be joining us to read The Tails of Buddie & Baxter at 2:00 PM! 📚🐾
You’ll also get to meet Buddie & Baxter, purchase a book and have it signed! ❤️
🎁 13. GET YOUR PAWS ON A PAWTY FAVOR!
You didn’t really think I was going to throw a Pawty and send you home without a Pawty favor, did you?! 😂🐾🎁
Make sure you grab yours befur you leave!
🏆 14. COMPLETE THE CHECKLIST FUR A PRIZE!
Did you do it ALL?! 👀😂
Turn in that completed Pawty Checklist and GET YOUR PRIZE! 🎉🏆🐾
And somewhere between all 14 of those things…
👑🐾 STOP AND SAY HI TO OUR PUPPY PRINCESS — MISS AMERICA!
Our little singleton superstar is making her FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE! 🇺🇸👑🐶
Miss America is the first puppy of Lauden Labs 2.0, and after spending her summer being completely spoiled in kid daycare, she’s finally ready to meet her fans. 😂❤️
And you’ll probably see another very important member of the BRB pack scootin’ around too…
👶🐾 BROOKS!
This Pawty is extra special because it’s Brooks’ very first Pawty! 🥹❤️
He’s been greeting BRB clients since he was just two days old, usually from the porch with Grandma & Grandpaw, and now he gets to celebrate his first one right alongside all of you. ❤️🐾
And THAT is what makes this Pawty mean so much more to me than hot dogs, dog puns, prizes and me single-handedly keeping Amazon Prime in business this week. 😂📦❤️
Back Road Boarding is celebrating NINE YEARS.
Nine years of dogs.
Nine years of families trusting us with their babies.
Nine years of slobbery kisses.
Nine years of wagging tails.
Nine years of muddy paws and barking kennels.
Nine years of friendships I never would have had without this place. 🥹🐾❤️
And now we get to celebrate those nine years with the next generation of BRB right there with us.
So bring the kids.
Bring the dogs.
Bring your friends.
Bring your neighbors.
Bring your appetite.
Bring your camera.
And BRING YOUR BUNS OVER! 🌭😂
Come sign in, scratch a ticket, trim some nails, grab a Doggie Bag, guess some treats, hunt fur goodies, adopt a puppy, visit our vendors, eat an unreasonable amount of dog-themed food, take ALL the pictures & share them with us, listen to a story, collect your Pawty favors and help us celebrate NINE DOG-GONE AMAZING YEARS with Brooks, Miss America, Lela & the rest of the BRB pack! 🐶🎉❤️
