Wow, Now That Was a Long Weekend Kickoff! - Oct. 09, 2010

 A huge shoutout and stick salute to all of you who ventured to Animal Essentials yesterday.

 Came close to a seasonal record, I'll tell you that.

 Whether it was a long weekend push or what, we're not sure, but we're not arguing.

 Hopefully see you at the store once I return from the barn, basketball clinic, drive to dance, football game and broadcasting two basketball games.

 Long, long weekend!

 In our poll from last week, turns out bandanas are the most popular showcase item to show off your pet, clicking at 66.7 per cent.

 Check out the new poll this week.

 As for the store, we still have some apparel at 50 per cent off, but we're already down to one bin.

 We have orders in for new scratch posts, too. Yesterday darn near cleared us out.

 See you at AE.

 We are open tomorrow, but closed on the holiday Monday for Thanksgiving.

 By the way,someone dropped off some junk food at our doorstep yesterday, two cans of Purina Fancy Feast cat food. Yellowfin Tune Primavera was the "flavour." Giant cat Noah came up, sniffed it, took a piece and left it on the floor. He's a Taste of the Wild wet food guy, anyway, and appeared quite disgusted at our foray into expirements for him when it comes to food. Are we premium food snobs? Yes. Here's a challenge for you. Try reading the ingredients on those cans if you received one or two. You'll almost fall over dizzy trying to read the tiny, blurred print.
