Bigwag Dog Bakery March Newsletter

Hello Everyone!

I hope that you're enjoying this fantastic weather. Hopefully this time it will last! Don't forget that this weekend is daylight savings time begins (that's not the good change where we get to sleep extra either)

Yappy Hour at Bigwag

Yappy Hour has been a great success. We had a wonderful turnout for the introduction of our new salmon treat, Fish Sticks, which are now available everyday. Thanks again to Jennifer Gilmore for designing them.

Last week's Mardi Gras event was a blast. Congratulations to Lucky, the MinPin that found the "baby" and won the gift basket. There's a picture of Lucky on our blog, http://bigwag.blogspot.com/2009/02/winner-of-our-mardi-gras-basket.html
Lucky's mom was kind enough to bring more pictures in for our picture board! (Remember that if you bring in pictures for our board, you get 10 free treats!)

This Tuesday our employees finally unveiled their choices for Bigwag's Next Top Product Contest. You can check out their picks on our website:
