Bigwag Dog Bakery November Newsletter

Hello Fellow Dog Lovers!

It seems impossible that it is already time for November's newsletter and that the holiday season is already upon us. There are a few upcoming events that we'd like to let you know about as you begin the bustle of your holiday.

This Saturday, November 8th, Northwest Arkansas Animal Rescue is hosting their first annual Texas Hold 'Em Poker Tournament. The tickets are $50, available at Bigwag Dog Bakery or online at http://www.bigwag.com. All the proceeds benefit Northwest Arkansas Animal Rescue, which does invaluable work with strays in our area and whose ultimate goal is a mobile spay/neuter clinic! And if helping out animals isn't enough to motivate you, they have several fantastic prizes. Every one at the final table will be awarded a prize, with the grand prize being a 50" Flat Screen HDTV! The event is at the Rogers/Bentonville Elks Lodge. Registration begins at 1pm with welcome and rules beginning at 2pm and play starting at 2:15pm.

Santa Paws Returns! If poker playing just isn't your style, next weekend, November 15th and 16th you can help the Humane Society while getting your dogs' picture taken with Santa Paws. Pets Rock Photography will once again be taking pictures, and they are generously donating all sitting fees to the Humane Society for Animals. Sitting fees are $5 per dog. Pictures will be taken at Bigwag Dog Bakery. Sitting times are available from 1pm-6pm on both Saturday, November 15th and Sunday, November 16th. Please call 631-2924 to schedule your sitting time. The first 25 registrants receive a goodie bag!

Look for Angel Trees and Angel Wreaths at local pet friendly locations, including Bigwag. Help the Humane Society out this holiday season by taking a tag and then returning the item to Bigwag Dog Bakery, The Humane Society for Animals or Rose Antique Mall and Flea Market. (See the blog post below for more details)
