Bigwag Dog Bakery September Newsletter

Hello Friends!

We're about to turn into the home stretch of pet events for the year. First up is Responsible Dog Ownership day at Murphy Memorial Dog Park. This has been one of the biggest pet events in Benton County. We'll be back for the biggest wag contest again, along with agility and obedience demonstrations. There should be tons of stuff to check out.

The next big event is Strut for a Mutt on Sept 18th at the Dickson Street Theatre! We're very excited to be participating with the gals over at Lola on this one, and yes, there will be some Bigwag Shwag for the first 50 VIPs. Visit Lola Boutique for more information or tickets. All proceeds will benefit the Fayetteville Animal Shelter and Spay Arkansas.

Then, following the next Saturday is Paws-n-Spas Dog Wash in Fayetteville!!!! We'll be at St. Paul's Episcopal Church on N. East street and Dickson, washing dogs to benefit Animal Haven Rescue. It's such a great deal - you can get your dog washed, nails trimmed, smelling fantabulous, and all dolled up with stylish bandannas or ribbons for just $15. We'll be having a silent auction too! visit http://www.pawsnspas.com for all of the details! We'll also be having a mini dog wash at Responsible Dog Ownership Day in Rogers, so if you don't want to make the trip down to Fayetteville, be sure and check out our booth over by the wash tub!

Finally, the last big event in September that I have room to talk about is Pet-Palooza at Gulley Park in Fayetteville, Saturday, Sept 27th 9 AM to 12 PM. They are going to have live demonstrations, a pretty kitty picture contest, a fashion show, and they will be giving away free samples of dog and cat food.
