One of our new toys sums it up perfectly. . . oh, no! September already. Which means the end of summer approaches, even if we’re in denial about it. We hope you are enjoying the summer and that we get at least one more extended sunshine run before . . . well, you know.
This month we will bid a fond farewell to Jim, our driver and warehouse manager for the past 4 years. Jim is leaving for a sunnier climate and to enjoy a well deserved retirement. We wish him well, and welcome a new face to our ranks. Read on to learn a bit about Mick.
Later this month, we will be attending SuperZoo, an annual Trade Show. Now that we have a presence on Twitter and Facebook, perhaps you’ll find some on-the-spot updates during the show. Maybe even pictures of new and “secret” toys that will soon be gracing our shelves (and possibly your pet’s jaws). Connect with us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter and see what turns up from the show. SuperZoo runs from 9/14-16.

Meet Mick!
Join us in rolling out a big welcome to Mick (left) as the newest member of the Smiley Dog team! Mick will be taking over from Jim (right) as our warehouse manager and driver.
Mick joins Smiley Dog having spent more than 25 years in the service industry. Mick grew up in Ballard and Shoreline, and now resides with his family in Edmonds. His 4 legged family members include 2 cats along with a Shepherd/ Collie mix. We hope you’ll join us in welcoming Mick and watch for his friendly smile as he carries on the Smiley Dog tradition.
Recalls
You may have noticed the “recall activity” of the past month. And we don’t mean eggs- although we’re waiting to see what kind, if any, ripple effects that may have.
Iams recalled their entire dry Veterinary line of formulas, and Merrick once again recalled their Beef Fillet Squares. You can read more about the Iams recall here and the Merrick recall here.
Dog Park Videos
If you’ve connected with us on Facebook, you’ve seen some of the local dog park videos that have been posted. There are more to come, and who knows? Perhaps you’ll be featured one day! If you’re not a Facebook fan, you can also catch the videos on YouTube.
Does this sound like you?
According to a survey conducted by Kelton Research, 49 percent of dog owners believe they know exactly what their pet is thinking, and 34 percent say they have had an entire “conversation” with their pet. Nearly two-thirds said their dogs are more dependable than their human best friends. And almost 75% said they prefer to blow off steam by talking a walk with their dog instead of a close human companion. Thanks to Pet Product News for this not so surprising information!

We’ve got a few new dog toys heading to us this month to share with you. They’re called Retro. Do you remember these? Are we really THAT old?! Here’s a shameless blast of nostalgia for some.
