Deep Breath

It's been a little hectic around here of late. Shipping out Christmas orders has wiped out my biscuit supply. We picked up yet another load from my bakery yesterday (500 pounds) and brought them to the workshop. Today will be a mad day of packing, packing, packing!

To add to all this, we'll be taking 9 days off to go to one of our favourite parts of the world...Nova Scotia. Despite it being the busiest time of year, we are going. I'm really looking forward to it but feeling a little guilty about getting away when it's my busiest time of the year. But the stores are stocked up and shouldn't need any more supplies till the end of the month. The web site orders get crazy in November but should be okay for the next week. So....no more guilty feelings! (please)

Before we leave, I just have to let you know about a couple of fun things happening later this month. For today, let's talk about the celebration for International Greyhound Planet Day on Saturday October 27th.

Greyhound Planet Day is a time chosen each year to honour the greyhound and its relatives throughout the world and to raise awareness of retired racing greyhounds as pets.

Ottawa's event will be held at Christ Church Cathedral Hall (240 Sparks St) on October 27th from 10 am to 3 pm. The Barking Biscuit will be there selling all our greyt (couldn't resist) biscuits. There will be lots of vendors and info booths, contests and raffles. Bring the whole family and leashed pets are welcome (not just greyhounds!) All funds raised will go to support research into tick borne diseases.

For more info, go to Greyhound Supporters of the NCR. Hope to see you there!
