Welcome to

Mom and I were just having a heart-to-heart (while the other family members were watching The Grudge 2 - Ick!). She just shared a secret with me that I thought you might want to hear. Sshhh… Don’t tell her I told you, or I’ll be out of treats for a week!

Mom told me that she’s made a major business decision with The Swanky Pooch. Right now she carries gourmet dog treats along with other products. Her decision is that she’s only going to carry the dog treats from now on. She’s going to discontinue her dog spa products (including her AWESOME natural oatmeal dog soap and her pampered paw balm), her beautiful dog blankets, her dog jewelry, and her dog collars. As soon as these products are liquidated, Mom will only carry her gourmet dog treats.

You may be wondering why Mom is doing this. Why would she discontinue popular items? Well, I can let you in on the scoop. Mom told me that she really only ENJOYS making the dog treats. The other items are actually WORK for her. As a breast cancer survivor (at a very young age), Mom decided that she’s rather spend her time doing things she enjoys rather things she “has” to do. So, she’s decided that she’d rather make treats more than anything else.

Mom told me she’s going to be putting EVERYTHING other than dog treats on SALE to liquidate her inventory. She wants to move on right now and get over this decision. If you’re in the market for some beautiful hand-knit dog blankets, designer dog-jewelry, natural oatmeal dog soap, pampered paw balm, or one-of-a-kind dog collars, you better check out Mom’s site in the next few days. She’s going to be putting everything on a HUGE sale to clear out her inventory. Things are sure to sell out fast, so check the site out now!

Of course, be sure to enter the Swanky Pooch Photo Contest when you visit to win gift certificates to The Swanky Pooch!

I don’t know if you know this, but my mom is a breast cancer survivor. She was diagnosed last March and had a long, hard year last year. This year she’s feeling much better, and she’s excited to be walking in the Tarrant County Komen Race for the Cure. Mom told me that I get to walk with her and our family. I’m thinking about wearing a cute pink breast cancer t-shirt (I’m sure in my masculinity!) and I’ve been checking out shirts to buy on the web. Which one of these should I pick?

Or maybe a breast cancer collar with matching leash…

I’ve been working on a blog entry about how I helped mom get through cancer. Check back soon for this entry!

I have one word for these treats - YUM!!

Mom always tells me I’m not allowed to have chocolate because it’s not good for me, but now I can have the next best thing. The rich taste of carob is sweetened with organic bananas and molasses, making these dog treats practically a dessert in my book.

Don’t they look delicious!

Mom caught me trying to get a treat off the kitchen counter. Sometimes it’s the pits being a little dog!
