Dog respect training and offering high-value rewards to pups! September 20th update.

Which topics would you like to be more informed about?

It’s interesting how dog obedience has refocussed to dog respect-and-kindness. Calm dog, not a cowering dog.

Saturday, September 20. Arena AND beach.
September 19-20, 2025.

[FRIDAY], we’re at the Wiarton Farmer’s Market. September 20th, the 175th Wiarton Fall Fair.


I want to communicate with the void. And offer dog biscuits.

Why do you blog?

This is the last market at the Handicraft House and Trading Post. It ends at 15:00 EST. APPARENTLY, THE MAIN STORE WILL ALSO BE CLOSING EARLY AT 3 P.M. EST.

Link to the store. Call to confirm their AUGUST 31 2025 HOURS.

PN has more to say about this prompt. Visitย  the blackcat dot ca blog (later today).


Log splitters. And making the PERFECT stick for your branch manager!

What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

Wednesday, August 27, 2025. We’re ready to sell you dog biscuits here at the Blue Heron Cruises parkette.

It’s a fair day for visiting Tobermory Harbour.

Your market runs until 1 p.m. today. TS has prepared fresh tins of paw wax for your dog.

Protects your pads, year round.

I’ll tell the tale of getting a log splitter (for hugelkulture and firewood sales) on our blog. Visit us at https://blackcat.blog/


During hummingbird season, delight. August 16, 2025!

What positive emotion do you feel most often?

…and when dogs enjoy BLACK DOG BISCUITS, vindication.

From 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. besides the pickle-ball courts.
Your biscuits are being produced on a hugelkulture site.
3 blurry birds! 1 of 2 hummer fuel stations.

We keep a regular sleep schedule, donโ€™t skip meals, and stop to pet friendly cats and dogs

What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

Both house-wolves and house-panthers telegraph their emotions. Pay attention and donโ€™t stick your hand in their face nor stare at them!

TS and PN are looking forward to a weekend of Wiarton activities. Come on over and visit. Itโ€™s a nice little town!

Wednesdayโ€™s weather. May it dry out for Friday!

Between torrential downpours, PN updated the product list (link here). And TS made fresh biscuits for the market. Check out our new HUMAN test product at upcoming farmerโ€™s markets.


Hummingbird viewing, a la ZeFrank.

How do you waste the most time every day?

I enjoy UNSTRUCTURED time watching our hummingbird feeding stations, and the drama it entails!

Time wasting? Nah.

Dog biscuits? Thereโ€™s ALWAYS time to sell dog treats at the Handicraft House.

New vendor on site too.
Weโ€™re running 3 feeders. Buttcheek sounds ARE a thing.

Know thyself. And buy treats for your furry companion animals.

What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

Be kind to animals, eh.

Thereโ€™s a lot of cliches & aphorisms to choose from. Stoicism is a mindset that I can support. And meditation in all its forms can help one be comfortable in oneโ€™s own skin.

Dogs take on the temperament of their humans (letโ€™s not kid myself: healthy breed selection is a factor).

I maintain thereโ€™s no bad dogs. Just weak humans (pack leaders). Be a better person for your family and the pack.

Thank you for visiting our booth!

Nemo, Nemo Neem. And biscuits for sale.

If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?

Nemo, Nemo Neem.


Market today. Tobermory harbour.

List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

  • What Color Is Your Parachute? It was a fundamental shift in my jobhunting expeditions. I learned how to market myself. And PIE interviews.
  • Teacher Man. Frank McCourt. A menโ€™s guide to safe teaching. In high school.
  • Busy Busy World. Richard Scary. Itโ€™s all in the detail details. In the details.

Bigger bookshelves. Dog biscuits (still)!

Do you remember life before the internet?

Weโ€™re at the picnic area besides the Crows-nest Pub.
This is a NEW product. Biscuit trial travel packs.

Doggie bags. How many? For small biscuits, thereโ€™s 10/bg. For regular, thereโ€™s 6/bg. For large, thereโ€™s 3/bag. Each bag costs $6 for sweet potatoes + $5 for wheat.

Clear treat bag with a BDB sticker sealing over the folded-zipped-up opening.

โ€œSure, cats can have catnip. What about dogs?! Dognip?โ€
