Avoiding a Bath?




Work began this week on the self wash station. I'm really excited to see this happen.

















Spending time outside in back of the store this week has given me a taste of how nice it will be when completed. The perfect place to wash up (your dog) after a morning trip to the lake. When you're done relax out back with some coffee from Beans & Bagels on the corner.



















The shelves are long done and full already but the self wash has been slower to complete. A leaky roof as set us back a bit. I did purchase the wood for the wall build out. With the help of my favorite renaissance man Ezra we have a nice design that will be both functional and inviting. Now if it will just STOP RAINING.

Ruff Haus Pets and Rockwell's Neighborhood Grill are hosting a fundraiser for Greyhounds Only. "As a nonprofit organization committed to the rescue and rehabilitation of ex-racing greyhounds, Greyhounds Only is constantly seeking ways to find homes for more dogs - and to stay financially solvent in the process. Boarding costs and medical bills, for instance, for the fifteen to twenty dogs we usually house at the kennels until their adoption have a way of adding up."
For $35 you can sponsor a greyhound for one week.

On Tuesday June 9th it gets you so much more. We will start with happy hour (6-8pm) at Ruff Haus Pets
. Come unwind after work with drinks and appetizers while checking out our new line of dog collars from Souldier. Souldier collars are made right here in Chicago. Souldier will be on hand during happy hour to take custom orders from their extensive collection of vintage fabrics. Ruff Haus and Souldier will donate 20% of all sales made during the event to Greyhounds Only. Your ticket will also enters you in the Go Local Raffle. We will be giving away prizes throughout happy hour donated by some of the best local businesses in Lincoln Square. After happy hour head down to Rockwell's for dinner. Choose from a specially prepared menu that features pairings with locally brewed beers. It promises to be a unique evening at Rockwell Crossing coming together for a great cause. Tickets are limited, so please stop in at either location to reserve your spot.
