There was a new meaning for the term puppy love Friday afternoon in Alva, thanks to the work of an Alva local.
Over the weekend, a small booth from Sammy’s Pet Services was set up on the corner near Sweet Harper and Co. on College Avenue.
The booth was decorated in hearts, streamers and flowers. Inside sat a lovely dog named Otie, ready to hop up dressed in his Valentine’s finest for any passing patron to see.
In light of Valentine’s Day, anyone was welcome to smooch the pooch if they wished. If not, there was plenty else to do.
Sammy’s Pet Services is a business centered on pet care and pet services. From home-made animal care products to services like pet-sitting, Sammy can do many things for one’s pets.
At this booth there were samples of Sammy’s pet care product, from shampoos and detailing sprays, to multi-use butters, even treats that any passersby can give to Otie. Along with this, there was a wall featuring her many four-legged clients.
This “Smooch the Pooch” booth was set up for a fundraiser for Sammy Hawley and her pet care services based here in Alva. She said she plans to use the funds raised to further her business and set up a future boarding clinic.
