Thought I would share a nice thing that recently happened.

I have been buying all of Nakita's food at a local small animal food store. I usually go on Sunday's when the store isn't too busy and I started to talk to the owner of the store.

A couple of months ago, she started talking about needing info for various animal related topics (ie: food nutrition, health, feral management etc.) so I said I would email a couple of links from Stray Pet Advocacy and other sources.

Rob stopped by last month to pick up some wet food for Nakita, and he came back with a gift for Nakita! The store owner wanted to thank me for the info I provided, so she sent a package of goodies for Nakita (treats, new products etc.)!
I've never had an owner of a store I buy things from, give me anything free! As you can tell, I was happily surprised!


Unfortunately, Nakita didn't like the treats (even though they are the store's #1 best seller). Nakita is sooo picky!
This weekend, I had to go get some more wet food, and I brought back the treats to the store owner, since I figured her cat's could eat them. She felt so bad that Nakita didn't like her treats, that she gave me free canned food for Nakita for the month!


I love this store and the manager.

Wow! That is so great! That is right, there should be more people like that in the world!
Does Nakita like the canned food?

Yey!!!! There are good people out there . . . just a shame there aren't more of them. You hit lucky there Kass, what a sweet person - and I bet they didn't need to go on a signle customer service course; for some it just comes naturally.

It's too bad that things like this happen so rarely!

I will also be forwarding a nice letter to the company's head office so they know what a great job she is doing.

Yes Pollyanna, Nakita loves her wet food!
