EVERYBODY'S BIRTHDAY PAWTY - SAT., AUGUST 26

We had so much fun celebrating last year that we knew we wanted to throw a pawty again this year!

Here's what we celebrated:

Godfrey's-Welcome to Dogdom is two years old! Yep, we are celebrated our two year anniversary! Thanks to all of our loyal customers for helping us to reach this anniversary.

Jackson Godfrey, our shop's O.G. (Official Greeter) turned 7 years old! He's Barb's adorable golden retriever and he works at the shop just about every day. Barb and Pat adopted him from Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue (DVGRR) in 2003.

National Dog Day.  This was the first year for naming a national day to celebrate dogs in our lives. There was a whole array of events planned for this day in New York City, so we wanted to help celebrate it here, too. National Dog Day's founder, dog trainer and animal advocate, Colleen Paige, felt it was time to honor dogs more than we currently do, to give them "a day", to show deep appreciation for our long connection to each other - for their endearing patience, unquestioning loyalty, for their work, their capacity for love and their ability to impact our lives everyday in the most miraculous ways. National Dog Day encourages dog ownership of all breeds, mixed and pure - and embraces the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and "abuse-free life".
and we introduced Godfrey's Canine Birthday Club! Register your dog next time you come in.  Then when you  coming shopping for your dog during his or her birthday month, we'll give you a special offer for any (1) dog usable item for your dog to enjoy. It's our way of celebrating your dog's birthday or "Gottcha" day. That's why we celebrated "Everybody's Birthday Pawty!"

Here's the fun we had that day:

  Agility Dog Demos by Linda Madeira and Renee Caspescha. Linda and Renee ran their dogs run through an agility course. Customers who came with their dogs were invited to try a test run.

Meet the Trainers Yes, you're reading it correctly.  You've asked, and asked and asked us for Puppy training and other training.  Godfrey's announced our alliance with a wonderful duo of dog trainers...Mary Jo and Steve from "Awesome Dawgs!"  They chatted with people and dogs, shared their philosophies, and hsanded out information about their classes and detaisl for registration.

Live Music by Chuck Cahoe.  Chuck sang and played live and his music was so-o-o much

fun. Chuck was once a part of the very popular local band "Burning House."

The ARL (Animal Rescue League) of Berks County and Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue (DVGRR) also attended to share their information and talk about what both groups do to help homeless dogs find their forever homes as part of our National Dog Day celebration.

We had games, raffles, birthday cake for humans and a free "decorate your own Pup Cake" for each dog who attended the Pawty!
