Lulu's Mewsings for July and August, 2008
Hello everyone, We have been very busy this first half of 2008! RETAIL SALES ON PET SCRIBBLES DISCONTINUED In January, we discontinued the retail portion of Pet Scribbles (selling single and boxed cards directly to consumers), and switched our focus to the wholesale markets of the pet and giftware industries. Our decision was based on not wanting to compete with the stores that carry Pet Scribbles cards, whether in their brick-and-mortar stores or via their online boutiques. We know that there are many of you who enjoyed the ease of purchasing your cards online, and we are planning on more boutiques carrying our cards on their e-commerce sites. As more online stores are added, we will post these in our Retail Locations section of our website. As always, if there is a store or boutique in your area that you wish carried Pet Scribbles, please let us know and we will be happy to contact them. You can e-mail your suggestions to: lulu@petscribbles.com. We are so thankful for the many suggestions already received, and we are happy to report that we are now carried in stores in 23 states, with more on the way! THE FATE OF THE PURRSONALIZED CARD SERVICE Another change with Pet Scribbles is that we are ending our Purrsonalized Card Service. While we still think it is a great idea, quite honestly there has not been much interest. The cost of maintaining the Purrsonalized portion of Pet Scribbles' website is outweighing the interest shown by the public. Perhaps we will bring this idea back someday. We hope - for those of you who have enjoyed using this service - that you understand our decision. ANNOUNCING "PURRTEA" BY PET SCRIBBLES! For those of you who are store and boutique owners, we want to let you know that we will be unveiling a new line of greeting cards soon. Lulu, our Chief Feline Officer (CFO), finds this impossible to comprehend, but we have store owners who have requested Victorian-style cards without pets on them. And so Pet Scribbles is pleased to offer "Purrtea" by Pet Scribbles. They are available on the Wholesale Catalog of our website, and will be on the main section of the website soon! ON A PURRSONAL NOTE... Lulu's big brother Matisse (aka Mr. Boo-ber) is currently recovering from major surgery to remove a large tumor that was in his lungs. Cats have six lung lobes, four on one side and two on the other, that make up the lungs. The tumor affected three of Matisse's lobes and all three had to be removed. Although the tumor was able to be successfully removed, our sweet mush of a kitty has been diagnosed with feline lympho-sarcoma. We are not sure what his future holds, or how long his present and future will be. The doctors talk of his survival in "weeks and months" instead of years, they told us. We are making him as comfortable as possible while he recovers from his surgery. Lulu misses wrestling with him. And Aliza, who considers herself to be Matisse's girlfriend, misses snuggling with him. They are currently separated by a pet gate while Matisse recovers as he can't have any activity or excessive playtime yet. Matisse enjoys their visits and chats through the pet gate, but is also enjoying his own room, complete with comfy bed, tv with his favorite programs, and peace and quiet! I'm sure that everyone says this about their own pets, but our Matisse is the sweetest mush of a lovebug around, and we are helping him to enjoy every moment that he can. CONCLUSION Lulu asks that everyone be mindful of the high humidity and hot temperatures, as they can wreak havoc on pets. Make sure your pet has fresh water at all times, has some shade if outdoors, and a fan or air conditioning when indoors. Many pets have "fur coats" that they have to wear year-round, so don't forget to keep them cool! Thanks for reading! Sincerely, Laura, Owner and Lulu, Chief Feline Officer Pet Scribbles LLC Little Egg Harbor, NJ www.petscribbles.com
