DERMagic Products in MudBay Stores!
Mud Bay has been around Washington State since 1988, when the first store was established in Olympia. And now, they're opening 3 new stores (Mercer Island, Gig Harbor, and Redmond) to bring the total to 20 locations!
And for us, the big news is that Mud Bay is now carrying the DERMagic product line. And this fits right in with the Mud Bay difference: Instead of carrying supplies for every pet, Mud Bay focused on the healthiest foods and highest quality supplies. Instead of trying to be everything to everyone, Mud Bay focused on using natural food and accurate information to contribute to the health of dogs and cats and the happiness of the people who care for them.
Mud Bay has a very interesting history, well worth reading. And while you're on their site, check out Cooper's Story, about how DERMagic stopped Cooper's itch, written by a dog lover who also happens to work at Mud Bay...
So check it out! And check us out too... We're proud to be a part of the Mud Bay retail system -- healthy foods, happy stores, knowledgeable staff.

Whitnie - the formerly hairless Pomeranian...
Many of you know that there's nothing worse than having to watch your little furkid suffer day after day with some kind of skin problem, no matter what it is. I've been there with my own dogs, one of which I nearly lost to a mystery skin disease that left her hairless with open sores. That was little Shenanigan the Yorkie, the first life saved by DERMagic.

The Best Singles Ad Ever Printed
Reported to have been listed in the Atlanta Journal:
SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me... Call (404) 875-xxxx and ask for Annie, I'll be waiting.....

Just a-Walkin' the Dog....
Protective too, the little Changelings. Joggers and bikers who use the sidewalks for exercise, instead of for walking like the rest of us, get exactly what they should expect when they sneak up behind us at full trot. (Get it? SideWALKS... not SideRUNS or SideBICYCLES.)
We nearly sent a runner to the hospital this morning. These days, with high-tech running shoes in stealth mode, it's impossible to hear a runner coming up behind you. The dogs don't even hear them. But suddenly, Skoshi stops in mid-pee, now at full-on attack on the aggressor who materialized at my side... out of nowhere and running at full trot.
With two leashes and spread out across the walkway, we managed to capture an ankle and send the jogger flying, luckily into the grass and not the pavement.
Please explain to me why he was angry at US? He could have seriously injured my dogs!
People... please pass this on to all your running and biking friends... and tell them to use the jogging trails, use the bike lanes, and stay off the sidewalks. We have nowhere else to walk our animals in the city and suburbs. And you should know by now that it's not smart to surprise a dog, under any situation. When you see dogs ahead, GO AROUND THEM!!! Cut them some slack, runners! And bikers, stay the heck off the sidewalks!
