We asked AI to create images for what 20 different mythical dogs looked like! How do you think AI did on recreating them? Personally, I don't think the Axehandle Hound and Black Shuck would look like that 😂

Yay or Nay?
More simple and clean treats. These are just a sample of flavors. I don't remember seeing dried pumpkin slices before which is a great idea, imo.

My feet hurt, but going to try with some Yay or Nay!

These are a yay, so this is more sneak preview. There are a lot of holiday toys on display and here are a few examples we'll be bringing in.

Frankenstein Hedgehog? Yes please?

Yay or Nay?
Not to forget the cats! I found these absolutely adorable cat toys, handmade. Of course the elephants are my favorite. But the puff-fish are pretty cute too - catnip stuff-able.

Yay or Nay?
From our friends at West Paw! New limited edition colors, expanded from the Toppl. Plus, bison tripe treat coming soon).

Yay or Nay?
This is a yay for me!
A compact p**p bag holder. Not only easy for leash, belt loop, pocket. But if you are like me and have a roll in your junk drawer that has unraveled 45,000 times, this will keep it nice and neat.
