I've already confessed that
I'm a sci-fi junkie. I also happen to be a fan of over-the-top cat
condos. So, when I see that we're now carrying a cat condo that looks a
bit like the Lunar Lander, I'm instantly intrigued. The Savvy Tabby Kitty Observatory
is a space saving (get it?!?!?!) design that fits in the corner, but
provides some serious play and relaxation opportunities for your cat.
And I have a secret...

I know this is sort of inside baseball, but as a small business owner and fledgeling online retailer, I'm thrilled that our customers have thought highly enough of us to give us a sustained 100% top rating, according to BizRate. Our order volume has been picking up, and we've often worked into the night to ship orders, answer customer service questions and make sure our customers are treated right.
Here's the award:

Product was exactly as advertised. Ordering was simple and delivery was fast. E-mails kept me informed about the status of my order. I found this buying experience to be excellent and have added BaxterBoo.com to my list of favorite sites.

OK, I just sent out our newsletter this morning. I admit it, not everyone will get it the joke. Or maybe it's just not funny?
It's obviously (to some) based upon the I Can Has Cheezburger blog, which I admit to spending entirely too much time on. It's full of pictures of (mostly) cats and (some) dogs dressed up in embarrassing cat clothes or in compromising situations, and a horribly mispelled caption, ostensibly written from the pet's point of view. (I get special bonuses for using fancy words).
I just got an email from Vickyie, one of our subscribers, containing only this:
"Sorry guys but this add is really stupid."

So, when I first launched BaxterBoo.com, I showed it to my mother. You know what she said?
"Your stuff sucks!"
Well, pretty much. Thanks, Mom.
Ever since then, I've been trying to crawl out from under the shadow of her criticism. That was two years ago, but I feel we've made great strides.
Case in point? The lovely dog dinnerware above. We just got these in a few days ago, and I'm in love with them. Apparently, our customers are too. We've got them in a variety of colors and they're great quality. They're a heckuva lot classier than your standard dog bowl fare, so check 'em out!
