ABOUT
Ginger… Soggy-Doggy Playing!
Dawg-Busters
If you’re looking for a new toy perfect for summer fun, check out the Dawg-Buster and DawgBuster XL available locally at Just Dogs in historic downtown Newburyport. These tough, indestructible toys float, crazy-bounce and take serious abuse during heavy play, but are gentle on teeth and gums, so the retrieving can go on and on. They are made in the USA by RuffDawg and come with a lifetime guarantee. So, if you have a die-hard retriever, the Dawg-Buster toys will be sure to make their tails wag. (Just Dogs, 37 Pleasant Street, Newburyport (978) 465-8400)
Ginger the Model
A big shout-out to Ginger, beloved gal of Stonewall Kitchen founders Jim Stott and Jonathan King, for her modeling debut in the Spring 2020 Annie Selke catalog. Annie Selke is a talented designer of luxurious home goods products. She lives in The Berkshires and is well known for her company Dash & Albert (rugs, furniture and

home decor) and Pine Cone Hill (beautiful bedding, pillows and more) which are now under the umbrella of AnnieSelke.com. The company is currently expanding its footprint in the pet category, and Ginger was called upon to model for their new line of “Ruff & Fluff” shampoos, salon and spaw products. You look beautiful Ginger…even as a soggy-doggy! (www.AnnieSelke.com)
Custom Cookie Cutters
This is a fun gift for an animal-loving friend or simply for yourself! Customize your cookies and your dog’s cookies with their name on a fun shape. Available on Etsy, you can select from a variety of shapes…dog bones, paw prints, hearts and more. This is a unique promotional idea, as well. Our Sales & Marketing Director, BlakeLee Greene, recently joined William Raveis Real Estate in Newburyport as a licensed agent. She is making custom dog biscuits to give to potential clients as part of her “Let’s Get You Home” promotional package (which of course will include
