It’s time to celebrate Independence Day! This holiday is somewhat complex in the hearts of dog parents.
On the one paw is the desire to revel in the nation’s most patriotic celebration, and particularly in the merriment of an extra-long weekend this year; but this also comes with deep empathy for pooches everywhere struggling with the booming percussion of fireworks. In acknowledgement of that heart tugging in two directions, this post offers a few suggestions of where to enjoy festivities in WNC for Independence Day, and a few tips and resources for calming a stressed pup.
From all of us in the Barkwells Pack, we wish you a joyful holiday season and a wonderful new year. Curl up with some eggnog and your pup and enjoythis video!
As we ring in the New Year, we are passing the Barkwells leash to new owners: Jeff Krider & Patti Moore. Please read our full letter of gratitude and introduction of the new owners by clicking the following link:
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, Barkwells is going GREEN! Well, we do aspire to be as green as we can be, so we’re sprouting outward and highlighting other businesses around Asheville and WNC that share our green values, or that have been highlighted by other resource hubs that honor environmental and socially-conscious practices.
Our green category of the day is a regional favorite: FOOD. The restaurants listed below are found on one or several of the directories listed at the bottom of this article.
