Q and I went for a stroll on this partly sunny October day.
It is close to Halloween and we were ready for a treat, which is just what we found at the Three Dog Bakery in downtown Asheville.
As we entered the store we were greeted with a cheerful hello and the enticing aroma of dog cookies baking. From behind the counter a lovely lady came out to meet Q. She thought he was adorable, I could tell.
Lucky for us, we live in pet-friendly Asheville where dogs are recognized as "special" especially when they sparkle like Q does. (see photo) She offered him a treat which he devoured with delight. She then inquired about our needs. This was our first visit. We saw the shining oven and enjoyed the aroma of fresh-baked goodies. We followed our noses around to see the various colorful displays.
I noticed that the products are eco-friendly, recycled or recyclable and that the ingredients in the food products are all "natural" while Q dog wagged his tail all the while, especially when he "sniffed out" the Grizzly Salmon oil.
When it was time to check out, the items I chose were carefully wrapped in bakery paper and placed in a recyclable box with a logo on it. Woof! A real treat for the upcoming holiday...and no sugar in it.
I was most impressed with our visit to Asheville's Three Dog Bakery today. The quality of the items and the atmosphere and friendliness combined to make me want to come back often.
When we returned home, both our dogs reported total satisfaction with their Halloween goodies. I am sure they will tell the dogs in our neighborhood whose families will be stopping in to Asheville's Three Dog Bakery soon.
DOG TREATS for the Halloween.
