New ad just dropped in this month's - we love what the artist did with our sign. Also... check the back of the July issue for an exciting invitation!

Esky didn't want us to close tonight 🐈 "Why you turn off lights? Need more snuggles!"

Throwback to ICanHasCheezburger, which featured this picture of our senior shop cat, Logan, on this date in 2007.

Logan has retired to the owner's home, but he still gives us this look when we say really foolish things. Like "But I just fed you." Lol, as if.

NORTHSIDE IOWA CITY - This is Lilith. He's been missing for weeks, and his humans are worried.

I think I saw him between Haunted and around 9:45pm on Friday May 17.

Other potential sightings in recent days happened on Fairchild near Governor, and possibly close to Dodge Street Tire.

If you see him, please call us at 319-337-2996, email [email protected] or drop a message. We'd love to see Lilith safely home ❤️

Spring greetings from the shortest member of the yard crew (who has discovered that he can stand up inside a yard waste bag!), and...

This is how I am spending the day. The best part is invisible:

100% recycled filling ❤️🌎

We have thirty new plush toys and sixty items from a company that makes everything from travel activity books for kids to gilt-edged blank books to book lights and more....

And with the last three here, we return you to your irregularly unscheduled updates once a week or so. Esky says to have a snuggly weekend!

It's fine. Sociolexically, in Iowa, "few" can totally mean up to 12.

lol I thought I'd missed a couple of days, but there are... a few more

I just found a cache of new arrivals snapshots dating back 4 weeks. Some of the items are gone; most are still here.
