I came here to find a suitable bone for the dog that we're dog-sitting this week. I can't stand someone staring at me from below the table when I eat, so I needed something that would be sure to distract him for at least 10 minutes at a time, and also not disintegrate under his powerful, monster jaws. I've seen this dog tear a somewhat-soft toy to absolute shreds in 30 minutes. He eats rawhide bones whole (I have never been so anxious about another being's poop in my life).
Anyhow, the lady who owns this store is incredibly friendly, chatty and knowledgable. She asked me what type and size of dog I had, and suggested the very bone that he's been happily gnawing away at for at least a full hour now. We had a very nice conversation about dogs and bones and stuff and I left happy. She called me "hon", which I also really enjoyed because she fits the acceptable criteria of being at least 10 years older than me and... whatever the opposite of patronizing is.
The store itself is small, but there seemed to be a wide variety of food, toys and accessories for cats, dogs, birds and other small things.
I'm so happy to have found this spot. When we get a dog of our own, this will likely be my go-to for all things pet related. read more
