A big truck arrived at Zoomies & Purr yesterday, and now we have even MORE fabulous holiday toys to choose from. I can only assume someone looked at our store and said, “This is lovely, but what if it squeaked significantly more?” Excellent feedback. No notes.

We also restocked your favorite Diamond products, and we’ve got your favorite freeze-dried and frozen foods ready to go! Come stock up on the everyday favorites, then let your dog explain why a holiday toy is also an essential household purchase. Personally, I think their reasoning is sound.

There are stockings to fill, good dogs to spoil, and dogs whose behavior is more of a gray area but whose Grandma says they’re perfect. We will be accepting Grandma’s assessment without further questions.

Bring your pup in, let them inspect the holiday selection, and prepare to have a serious discussion about why they cannot have seven toys. Or let them have seven. I’m here to support your happiness, not count your toys. Trixie has already selected hers, mine, and several for a mysterious third dog who looks suspiciously like Trixie.

Between the fresh deliveries, all the holiday goodies, and the fun plans we’re working on, there’s a lot to be excited about around here. We love filling this little neighborhood shop with things your pets will love, and we REALLY love seeing them walk through the door like they own the place. They do. We just handle the paperwork.

Come see us today or this weekend! Refill the food bin, restock the freezer, and get first dibs on the newly arrived holiday toys. Your neighborhood pet people are ready to help, and your neighborhood pet supervisors are ready to make this shopping trip about themselves.

Love,
Harry Manilow 🐾

Harry is at the groomer this morning, which means I am the only dog at Zoomies & Purr, and I have to say… management has never looked better.

Every person who walks through that door is here to see ME. Every compliment belongs to ME. Nobody is squeezing his freshly fluffed head into my moment because he heard someone say “cute.” I can accept a belly rub without a thirty-pound throw pillow arriving to explain that he has a belly, too.

I’ve been in charge for approximately twelve minutes, and I’m already concerned about how his return could affect morale. My morale, specifically. The employees seem fine, but this isn’t about them.

I’m going to ask Ellie Bixler, our stylist, if she offers an overnight spa package. Something really thorough. A deep conditioning treatment. A paw massage. A little robe. Eight hours of being told he’s handsome by someone who is being paid to say it. If his coat needs an entire weekend to reach its full potential, who am I to interfere with a professional?

Please come see me this morning while I’m enjoying my brief but extremely successful career as an only child. And Ellie, if you’re reading this, blink twice if you can keep him until Sunday. I have access to Dad’s wallet.

Love, Trixie
Acting management, hoping to make it permanent

The Marine in this photo is my son, Santiago. He lost his life in service to our country. Being his dad is one of the greatest honors of my life, and I will always be proud of him and his service. I miss him more than words can say. ❤️

This Veterans Day, I’m sharing his photo with love and extending my gratitude to everyone who has served. As Santiago’s dad, that gratitude is deeply personal. Behind every uniform is a person with a family, a future, and people who love them beyond measure.

To the veterans here in Reno and Sparks, including those we’ve had the privilege of getting to know through Zoomies & Purr: thank you. Thank you for your service, for the time you spent away from the people you love, and for the sacrifices we may never fully know or understand.

I carry Santiago in my heart every day. Today, as I honor his memory, I also want every veteran in our community to know that your service matters and you are appreciated. It’s an honor to call you our neighbors.

With love and gratitude,
James

Dad asked me to help explain two products we sell at Zoomies & Purr. Unfortunately, he did not specify that I had to do it well. Now the products are blurred, I’m in charge of marketing, and nobody is comfortable with how much confidence I have.

Your job is to figure out what these two things are based on my deeply unhelpful descriptions. 🐾

Mystery product #1: This used to live underground until someone decided it had greater potential as orange mush. Humans sometimes put tiny pillows of sugar on its relatives and serve them at Thanksgiving, because apparently a vegetable needs a duvet. This version comes in a metal apartment and goes in your pet’s bowl. No pillows. Very disappointing amenities.

Mystery product #2: This is also orange mush, but with a completely different résumé. Its relatives have worked in front-porch security, seasonal coffee, and pie. This one went into pet food and now lives in a squeeze pouch with two ingredients that sound like women who teach an extremely expensive yoga class.

Both are available here. Neither is paying rent. I sat beside them for this photograph and somehow I’m the only one being told to get off the counter.

What are your guesses for #1 and #2? Put them in the comments—we’ll reveal both products tonight, along with descriptions written by someone who hasn’t recently licked a shopping basket.

Love, Harry Manilow

I’ve surrounded myself with bags of Carna4, and somehow the humans think this is a photo shoot and not a very clear lunch request. Please put the phone down, Dad. We have discussed my working conditions.

We’re starting to show off some of the foods and favorite finds we carry at Zoomies & Purr, and I’m opening with Carna4 because I have excellent taste and was already sitting next to it.

Carna4 is quick-baked, air-dried whole-food nutrition made with ingredients like real meat, fruits, vegetables, and certified organic sprouted seeds, without added synthetic vitamins and minerals. For the humans who enjoy reading ingredient panels, there’s plenty to appreciate. For those of us without thumbs, please open the bag.

And here’s something you might not know: Zoomies & Purr is the ONLY store in Reno and Sparks carrying Carna4 on the shelf for you to come in and grab. Other stores in town have to order it. We keep it here because explaining shipping schedules to a dog staring into an empty food bin is a terrible way to spend your evening. I once had dinner seven minutes late and had to lie down dramatically where everyone could see me.

Come pick up a bag, or let our team bring it to you with FREE local home delivery throughout Reno and Sparks, with no minimum. Having your dinner chauffeured to your house is exactly the lifestyle I’ve been trying to explain to my human.

And that beautiful tree behind me? That’s our Giving Tree. If you’re able, choose a candy cane with a wish tag and help provide food, treats, or toys for a pet whose family could use a little support. You can take care of your own best friend and help someone else’s feel loved, too. ❤️

Stop in, talk Carna4 with my humans, and admire the handsome Bernedoodle in the food aisle. Please approach with compliments. I’m apparently still being paid in “good boy.”

They said I’d be the face of the holiday season. They did not mention the ears, the full-body upholstery, or that my cohost would be a detached leg.

Harry’s Major Award Deal of the Week starts today! Through Saturday, November 14, get 10% off Pet House wax melts OR buy a warmer and get a Pet House wax melt FREE!

This week, we’re helping your home smell like sugar cookies, apple c***r, and evergreen forests instead of whatever your dog just rolled in and now considers his signature fragrance. I personally smell like warm doodle and emotional availability, but apparently that doesn’t come in a wax melt.

We have snowmen, Santas, gingerbread houses, little fireplaces, and more. An entire holiday village dedicated to concealing the fact that someone in your household has a favorite blanket that should have been washed during the previous presidential administration. You know the blanket. Your dog knows you know. Nobody’s ready for that conversation.

These make wonderful gifts, but you’re also allowed to buy one for yourself. You’ve spent the year remembering everyone’s appointments, buying toilet paper, and deciding what’s for dinner until the end of time. Get the little gingerbread house, Brenda. You’ve done enough.

Meanwhile, Mariah Carey gets a glam squad and a wind machine. I got zipped into a bath mat with ears and positioned beside a lamp whose entire résumé is “leg.” Everyone keeps saying how gorgeous it is. It has no face. I have eyelashes and a personality, and somehow I’m the supporting act.

Every Sunday through Christmas, we’ll have a new Major Award deal running through Saturday. Come pick your favorite warmer and scent while I try to negotiate bathroom breaks in this outfit. There is a zipper situation, and neither of my fathers has thought it through.

We’re open today from 9:00–6 at Zoomies & Purr, 2868 Vista Blvd #106 in Sparks, two doors down from Safeway. Come shop, come say hello, and please compliment me before you compliment the lamp. I’m hanging on by a floppy ear. 💕

Usually, Harry and I come on here to make you laugh, show you something new, or discuss his very strong feelings about turkey bacon. Today, we have something a little more personal to share.

When we opened Zoomies & Purr, we knew helping our neighbors would be part of what we did. We had no idea how many families would need help feeding their pets, how often they would ask, or how overwhelming it would become for our little store.

We see people come in worried about making it to payday. Sometimes an unexpected bill has taken the grocery money. Sometimes everything has gone wrong at once. Harry offers his greetings, and we do our best to figure out how to help. But it weighs on us when we’re not sure how much more we can do.

Some people tell us another pet store sent them here for help. We’re glad they found a welcoming door, but those referrals don’t come with extra food or money. We’re still the same little shop trying to pay our team, fill the shelves, and help another hungry pet. The need is growing faster than our sales can support, and we cannot keep covering the difference ourselves.

So we’re asking: if you can, please make us your regular pet store. Your next bag of food, bag of litter, or holiday gift matters here. You don’t have to spend extra. Giving us the chance to earn the shopping you already do would help more than you might realize. Harry has offered to personally supervise your visit, although his availability depends on naps.

And to other stores sending families our way: please help us help them. Food, supplies, or a conversation about sharing the responsibility would mean a lot. This is more than one little store can carry.

If you’ve needed help, please don’t read this and feel bad for asking. You’re welcome here. We’ll help as supplies and resources allow, and you don’t owe us a purchase for kindness you’ve received.

To everyone who already shops, donates, and tells friends about us, thank you for helping us keep doing this. We love our little store and the people and pets who walk through its doors. Asking for help ourselves is hard, but we want to be here for this neighborhood for a long time. Your everyday support helps make that possible.

With love,
James & Harry Manilow 🐾

Dad says I’m picky. I prefer “a tiny food critic who lives in your house and doesn’t pay for anything.”

I can love something on Monday and look at it on Tuesday like Dad has served me the contents of the vacuum. Nothing changed. I simply woke up with a different artistic vision for dinner. Living with someone this beautiful requires flexibility.

But these two? My Freshpet Vital shredded chicken recipe food and Freshpet Dog Nation Turkey Bacon treats? These are the favorites that survive ALL my moods. Busy day, lazy day, deeply exhausting day of watching Dad work… I’m eating these. Even when I’ve decided everything else on the menu needs to speak to its manager.

The shredded chicken gets me to stop giving my bowl a performance review and actually eat. And the turkey bacon? Suddenly I can hear perfectly. “Harry, come here” travels across the room with remarkable clarity when accompanied by that bag. Without it, we appear to experience technical difficulties.

Please study my expression in this photo. Dad has placed both of my favorites beside me and then asked me to sit still while he takes pictures. Imagine someone bringing your dinner to the table and announcing it needs headshots before you can eat. The patience. The professionalism. Somebody get my agent.

You can find both of my favorites in the refrigerator at Zoomies & Purr! If your dog also approaches dinner like a celebrity reviewing the backstage accommodations, come chat with our team and take a look. Every dog has their own favorites, but these are the two Dad can count on me to eat. ❤️

Stop in this weekend—and feel free to grab yourself a candle or something lovely while you’re here. Being the personal chef to a tiny, opinionated roommate deserves benefits.

How many of our Christmas photos can you figure out? 🎄📺🐾

Dad said we needed a holiday staff photo. Apparently that meant sending the entire Zoomies & Purr crew through several decades of television, movies, questionable fashion choices, and a wardrobe department that should have been supervised. Paul has worn things that deserve their own employee benefit package. Trixie and I, naturally, have looked spectacular in every single one.

Now we need YOU to identify them! Look through the photos and comment directly under each picture with the show, movie, character, celebrity, or city you recognize. Guess on as many as you can—don’t stop after one!

Some are obvious. Some require a very specific television upbringing. And some might have you zooming in and saying, “Is that really the person who helped me pick out dog food?” Yes. Yes, it is. Please respect their artistic journey. 😂

Tell us which photo is your favorite, too, and suggest what we should become next. I’m personally available for any role involving a lavish estate, an unreasonable costume budget, and snacks in my dressing room.

Let’s see who can name the most! 👀
