Bigwag Dog Bakery July Newsletter

Hello Everyone!

I realize it's not quite July yet, but I thought I'd send this one out a little early in light of the upcoming holiday.

Clothing and Beds and Birthdays, Oh My!
If you haven't been in the store in the last week, you're in for a surprise! We have added clothing and beds to the products we carry. We are excited to bring you these new items, as many of you have been asking for clothing since Woof! Woof! closed. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how affordable our clothing lines are, so stop by and check out the range of cute tees, lovely dresses and handsome button downs. We even have swim suits and life jackets! And we have a great variety of unique beds including cooling beds for dogs that'll keep them cool in this heat!

We are beyond excited to announce that our 3rd Birthday party will be held Saturday, July 25th from 9am to 12pm. It will be a "pool party" theme with plenty of water to keep everyone a little cooler this year. We will be giving goody bags to the first 100 guests. There will also be free food, Northwest Arkansas Animal Rescue will be providing low cost micro-chipping, there will be contests and prizes and much more!

Year of FREE TREATS
We will also be giving away a Year of Free Treats at our birthday party. In the past we gave away the Year of Free Treats through random drawing, but this year we're changing it up. We're asking you to tell us why you or your dog love Bigwag. Share your best story and you could win the prize! You can enter online by visiting http://www.contest.bigwag.com/ or you can e-mail your story directly to us at sales@bigwag.com. You may also enter in person at the store. All entries must be received by 7pm Saturday, July 18, 2009. Then we'll have the best 10 stories on display and you get to vote for your favorite. Along with winning the Year of Free Treats, the best story will be published in the Rogers Morning News. The 9 runners up will receive a pound of treats of their choice.

Yappy Hour
Just because we're preparing for our birthday doesn't mean we're going to forget Yappy Hour! Don't forget to stop by between 5pm and 7pm on Tuesdays for these great specials:

Tonight! June 30th - Patriotic Pup Parade. Celebrate the U.S.A. with your D O G! Bring your dog in his best patriotic wear. The most festive dog wins a gift basket. Plus, 50% off patriotic treats.

July 7th - Slumber Party. Check out our great new line of beds and save. All beds, including spe cial orders will be 20% OFF tonight, plus every dog will get a free Counting Sheep Cookie just for stopping by.

July 14th - Luau Night. Drag out your grass skirts, because we're having a party! We might not have room for a pig roast, but Bacon & Egg Piglets are HALF OFF, plus Hawaiian shirts and sundresses are 20% OFF. And cold drinks for the people!

July 21st - Doggie Sno-Cone Night. Stop by with your dog for a cool treat. We'll have free sno-cones for every dog and person.

July 28th - Brown Box Special. A Yappy Hour with a hint of mystery. We'll have boxes available for sale for $5. What's inside? You won't know until you've bought it, but we can guarantee it will be more than a $5 value!

Bigwag Dog Bakery June Newsletter

Happy June Everyone!

I can't believe we're already into the 6th month of 2009. Blink and your life just flies by. The end of July we'll celebrate 3 years of being in business already! Which brings me to a very important question. In the past we have typically held our birthday party in the middle of the day, but it's always sooo HOT. We'd like to change the time to combat the heat. My question to you- (PLEASE reply to sales@bigwag.com with your opinions) Would you rather attend an event earlier on a Saturday morning (think 9am-12pm) or later Saturday evening (6pm-9pm)?

As it begins to get hotter, the events thin out, but for the time being we still have lots of dog friendly events to tell you about. Remember you can always check out the most up to date information we have at
http://www.calendar.bigwag.com/ You can even submit dog friendly events that you know about on the page! Or follow us on twitter, http://www.twitter.com/BigwagDogBakery for up to the minute updates and specials.

New Hours at Bigwag
Our biggest news this month is we have changed our hours! We are now opening at 9am to better serve all you early birds. We're running an early bird special for the entire month of June. Come in before 10am and you get 20% off your purchase.

Yappy Hour
Yappy is still going strong every Tuesday from 5pm-7pm here at Bigwag. We have different specials each week, so be sure to stop by to take part in the fun. June's Yappy Hour Specials are:

June 9th - Ice Cream Social. Is there anything better than ice cream in the summer? How about free ice cream for you and your dog plus buy 2 get 1 free ice cream treats!
June 16th - Kitty Pity Party. While we're a dog bakery, we love all animals. And we do have a kitty corner for your feline friends. This Yappy Hour we're introducing new toys and treats for the kitties, plus you get 25% off anything in the kitty corner.
June 23rd - Father's Day. We celebrated dog "moms" last month, so of course we have to celebrate the guys who aren't afraid to pick up slobbery balls or wrestle! All dog "dads" get free tie treats tonight.
June 30th - Patriotic Pup Parade. Celebrate the U.S.A. with your D O G! Bring your dog in his best patriotic wear. The most festive dog wins a gift basket. Plus, 50% off patriotic treats.

Thanks to everyone who donated to the Humane Society at our Puppy Shower Yappy Hour. We filled the back of my pick-up with much needed supplies. You can check out th e pictures at http://bigwag.blogspot.com/2009/05/pictures-from-puppy-shower-for-humane.html
