Step Away From the Cake

 Let's start with the show last weekend. It was actually pretty good. There were not as many vendors as I thought there would be but it was a decent turnout. Did a bit of business, made back my booth fee anyway. And I got to see a couple of Swissys, Ruckus and Gilly. It was so, so good to see some Swissys. I miss my Bella so badly. I love Maverick, but Bella was something special. I think we will be getting a Swissy in the next few years and I think it will be the only dog.

I am offering custom engraving onsite so hopefully that will boost sales. I'm kind of counting on it and that may be foolish.  Okay, a few more things to do to prep. I'll post later on how it all went.
