Featuring Your Photos

These are some of the photos we featured on the first print run of our new look late last year. Now that I have a blog, I'll be posting the featured photos every once in a while with a blurb about the pictures. I have such fun going through all the photos, the only problem is I can't choose all of them! (cause I love dogs of EVERY shape and size). My original idea was to have very small print runs of each tag, so that I could change my tags frequently. However, that plan didn't work out! (too big a price tag for this little company). But, I'll be printing 12 more photos shortly, so all in all I'll have over 30 different tags in circulation for a while. Hope you enjoy them! (coming soon)

Postcard Preview

This is just a snippet of our new promotional postcards. We use these cards for many purposes. Our new cards were designed by Monster Pilot (the same designers that revamped our dog biscuit tags last year). The great photo was taken by Suzanne Bird (www.photobysuebird.com or check out her blog www.photobysuebird.blogspot.com ).
The funny thing about this photo is that we put it on our card, and just found out that the dog in the photo is Indiana...a member of Kim R's family. I met Kim last year while doing a fundraiser for A Chance Animal Rescue. Kim is a dynamo who helps out many, many charities and fundraisers. It's definitely a small world!
We'll be picking up our new cards from the printer soon. You'll see them in your Barking Biscuit orders, and in many giveaway bags at fundraisers.

Barking Biscuit Button Teaser

Just a teaser...we have some buttons coming soon (apparently people in Britain call them badges). Why is a dog biscuit company selling buttons? We're planning to use most of them to help raise funds for our favourite charities. Details coming soon.

CWAC Trivia Night

One of my favourite local charities is Canines with a Cause (CWAC). They are a registered charity based in Ottawa, Ontario. They are dedicated to acquire, train and place assistance dogs for people in the community affected by several disabilities (other than blindness). CWAC is run exclusively by volunteers.
CWAC is hosting a "Trivia Night" on Saturday March 10th to raise some funds. Please check out the details on their website at www.caninesforacause.org
We're proud to have donated our Barking Biscuit tshirts for all the winners!
Go have some fun, and help raise funds for this great organization.

Dog Photos

We received some great photos from Natalie Heath recently in our ongoing search for new photos to use on our Barking Biscuit tags. Check out Natalie's web site at www.heathphoto.ca
Remember, we need your photos this week in order to consider them for our next print run of Barking Biscuit tags.

Crunch for a Cure 2007

We are very proud to introduce you to Triona and Riley, who are featured on our newest release of Crunch for a Cure dog biscuits. The beautiful photos (front and back of the tag) were captured by Suzanne Bird. (check out Sue's blog: www.photobysuebird.blogspot.com )
Sue is putting together a collection of portraits showing the bond between dogs and their owners who have survived or are battling cancer. Triona agreed to let us feature a couple of her photos on our package. We think she and Riley are beautiful! Last year's Crunch for a Cure campaign was such a success (we sold out in 3 months) that we doubled our printing order. Please help us sell twice as many bags this year! Twenty five per cent of Barking Biscuit proceeds will be donated to The Canadian Cancer Society - Breast Cancer Research. Crunch for a Cure dog biscuits can be purchased at many retail locations, or you can order them online at http://www.barkingbiscuit.com/
This project is very special for me...my mom died of breast cancer 25 years ago.
I want to thank all our customers for helping me to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. Keep those canines crunching!

Send Your Dog Photos

We'll be printing some new tags for our biscuits in the near future. If you want to see your dog's photo on Barking Biscuits, send in your photo in the next week. We need small dogs, big dogs, action dogs, cute dogs, ugly dogs, any kind of dogs! We love all dogs and want to feature as many different dogs as we can.
