Fun Times at the Dog Wash

by Wrigley Email

Wrigley here! What an awesome weekend! The Glynne’s Soaps crew spent Saturday at the 1st Annual Dog Wash, put on by the Dog Club of Wilmington. It was set up sort of like a car wash, but without anything scary. Just good clean fun. People brought their dogs for a bath and a manicure or pedicure and the proceeds went to Tarheel Weimaraner Rescue. I don’t know about you, but I love to see other four legged kids get rescued. In fact, 10% of Glynne's Soaps profits go to dalmatian rescue. There was food, (Paul’s Place Hot Dogs, which made us snicker since everybody there was a hot dog) music, and vendors. We had a great time meeting new people and selling some soap. I got a very good looking bandana from the Monty’s Home booth. We also spent some time talking with Karen from Dog Perils. Our booth was next to her's at Paw Jam in the spring, and she is from right here in Wilmington. She makes pants (well, she calls them Uh-Oh Bands") for male dogs with potty problems. We bought two for my brother George because he is getting old and sometime dribbles through the house. These pants will make us all happier! Plus, they come in lots of great designs so he can be almost as fashionable as I am in my bandana. Here's a picture of us (with our new attire) with Momma (AKA Soapmaker) We were a bit worried while packing up the night before that there would be too much rain for the outdoor event, but by Saturday morning, the skies were clear. It was a great day to take a bath outside. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to take my bath.;) I was too busy selling soap so others could get clean. By the end of the event I was exhausted. Thankfully I was able to nap on the ride home. Thank you Dog Club of Wilmington for the great day. The week ahead is busy too. We will be visiting some new shops that are interested in our soap and also checking in on some established places to see how sales are going. Sounds like the perfect job for the sales manager. Hopefully I’ll get to meet lots of folks while I’m out. And I’m sure there will be a trip to Aunt Kerry’s Pet Stop, which means I’ll get to visit my friends Roxy and Leo. The other totally fun thing that happened on Saturday was that I signed up to take some Agility Classes. I’m sure I’ll be talking about what I’m learning, so stay tuned. In the mean time, don’t forget to get some soap for yourself and your pup on our website Don’t forget, you can e-mail me anytime at Wrigley@glynnesoaps.com Wrigley Sales Manager
