Our new location of the Dog Store has a new sign

We have been waiting for a long time to get a sign on the store and remove the banner that has been there since we moved.  I know, I know that Comic Sans is on the hate list but used appropriately is good.  In our instance , very nice

Reno Aces and the Sac River Cats

Rick and I went to the Reno Aces game on IGT tonight, those extra hours are paying off.  Aces lost but the game was fun.

DB and I went to Ceol for a Guinness

Ceol is still one of the best places to get a beer.

A Doberman puppy came to the dog store

Yesterday a chocolate colored Doberman puppy came in to my wife's store Scraps Dog Bakery in Sparks Nevada and he looks like he has some smarts and is also best behaved puppy I've seen in quite some time.

Waldens Coffeehouse Shop before going to Scraps

I wanted some good coffee and a bite to eat so I grabbed M and Johnny and went to Waldens Coffeehouse before we all went to run the dog store while Krissy and Jordan were in DC

My company buys a poker company

.. and all I get is a million dollars in play money.  I can't wait to see what this will do for my company.

Another of my Mom's western paintings

These paintings (I know of only two click here for the other) have been my mothers family for 50+ years and I have seen them on her walls and the walls of a ranch in Eureka Nevada since I was born.

desiging the sign for the business in Photoshop

After several attempts to get a sign specification for the new sign, I broke out Photoshop and created my own. No bones in this sign. I thought a paw print would be ok but Krissy gave the no motion.

SCRAPS dog bakery neon sign proposal, we actually bought this and it looks great.  $3500 later.
