After having summer temperatures for most of October the weather took a turn for the creepy this week…and just in time! The wind is blowing hard through the trees making them creak eerily, pumpkin colored leaves are swirling ‘round our legs as we dodge yet another spider web, and the sky is fairly boiling with clouds.
Right on cue we’re seeing wispy things out of the corners of our eyes and wondering what that bumping noise might be. And of course we’re dreaming of candy apples, Snickers bars, candy corn, and home-made popcorn balls. Halloween must be just around the corner!
Our Dane boy (aka ‘Ol Pumpkin Eyes) asked us to send his wishes to all of you for a fun and safe Halloween.
His favorite online Halloween game this year is Pumpkin Toss with a top score so far of 2525. He also wants you to know the skeletons are tricky and to watch out for the green slime!
Happy Fall,
The Studio Crew
After the questioner is through staring in disbelief, snickering, then looking around as if in search of the poor soul who must surely be our keeper…they generally ask again; “You have a Spokes-What?” Of course there’s a story……
In 2006, being the owners of 3 gas guzzling 4×4’s, we decided to ditch 2 of them in favor of a MINI Cooper. We found that the rear of a MINI is the size of an XL dog crate…which worked out nicely for our Great Dane.
Our MINI sales rep, Darby, shared the story of a couple who purchased a MINI and brought their pet duck to pick up their new car! A few days later she sent pictures of Stuart to us. When we saw his face for the first time it occurred it to us that JinglePets™ might need a Spokes-Pet!
One of the cornerstones of our business is to have fun with animals. Just how much fun could we have with our very own Spokes-Duck? A LOT!
We emailed Stuart’s Mom and Dad to see if he might be interested in modeling for us, to which he replied; “QUACK QUAAACCCKKK” which means, “I would love to be a star!”
Stuart signed on as the Official JinglePets™ Spokes-Duck in summer 2007. He hopes to one day be bigger than the AFLAC duck. For ALL THINGS STUART, you can visit his photo gallery or see what’s happening on his blog page.
