We've been approved!

Hundreds of just baked
It is 8 o'clock on a Sunday evening, our oven is off for the day. We baked many dog treats this weekend and long hours. We have wanted to do a particular fair for several years and now we have been invited directly by the vendor committee. Mark your calendars, Saturday, June 25, 2016 we will be at #OaheDays #PierreSD. It is three days, but we will only be in the park on Saturday.  A gal had seen us and purchased treats for her dog from the farmers market we attend. She got the ball rolling.

For Oahe Days, an application is filled out and reviewed by the board. They are looking for something new, out of the ordinary, and eye catching. Even though we were told, "We really want to see your dog treats down at the park for Oahe Days." An application still needed to be filled out and sent. it was final this week. We, have been approved. (tickled)

We have lined up friends to help with several tasks and more are on board. We have good friends and they don't blink an eye, donate their time, with a 'what can we do to help." #Phenomenalfriends.

Buster by the cool vent
 Back to treats, Buster looks for a cool spot on the floor. As the spot warms where he naps, he gets up and finds another patch of floor. Smart critter.

Having just two weeks to wrap this all together, we have bag labels to make, bags to fill, tent spikes to find, panels to purchase and bug spray. With friends coming and going, the day will unfold just as it will. Steamboat Park sits along the river, was nearly destroyed by the 2011 flood, but, it has thrived. It will be lovely to sit, read in downtime, visit and treat leashed dogs. I do love this beautiful park. When we sell out, we can pack up and go.

Don't forget, our treats are sold at Bliss and Sweet Peas at the St. Charles. A wonderful store with a cheerful welcome.

Until then, in these hot temperatures, be kind to animals that need help, especially water and shade. Check on your neighbors outdoor dogs if their pack is not home, or is, sometimes everyone needs a little extra.  Be concerned, we are. We continue to help where we are needed.

Have a good week friends!
