Bigwag Dog Bakery August Newsletter

Hello Friends!

August seemed to slip by, and we almost forgot the August newsletter! With the break in pet events, we've been enjoying the quiet, but the fall season is ramping up upon us. RDOD, Strutt for a Mutt, Paws-n-Spas, Pet-Palooza, and the Cave Springs Pooch Parade are all gaining ground on us. The Weiner Dog Races, Canine Movie Night, Barktober Fest, Pugfest, and the Basset Waddle aren't far behind, with the NWAAR Hold'em Tournament and Santa Paws bring up the rear in November. Before you know it, it will be turkey time! My how the time flies! If the spring pet events were any indication of what this fall will be like, we all should be in for an exciting ride, as more information and events become available! We'll have fliers for most of these events at the bakery.

Northwest Arkansas Animal Rescue will be holding their first ever Texas Hold'em Tournament on Saturday November 8th. For news and updates, visit http://nwa-animalrescue.blogspot.com/ Tickets are available online at http://www.bigwag.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=184 and will be available soon at our store for $45 until Halloween, and then they will be $50. Play will be limited to the first 100 ticket holders, and will be competing for some major prizes to be announced soon!
