Well, it’s midnight. Shawn’s on his way to the post office to drop off two big boxes of t-shirt orders. Jason’s just settled down for a long winter’s nap. And I finally have a moment to report on the most phenomenal day in Skeledog’s brief history!
At about 9:45 am, the amazing Dara Foster of PupStyle presented her Holiday Pet Gift Guide on NBC’s Today show, assisted by 2 models wearing Skeledog t-shirts. You can watch the entire segment here. It was surreal to see our handiwork on television. We were screaming and dancing. Which kind of freaked out the dogs.
This was pretty much the closest thing to a live, primetime, Skeledog infomercial you’ll ever see. Dara said: “Put it in a stocking and you’re good to go,” and “You’re guaranteed to be stopped in the street when you’re wearing these.”
At which point, I almost fainted with glee. Meanwhile, the phones start ringing. Congratulations were pouring in. By 10 o’clock, we crashed our dedicated server. Drama! Even with our domain name misspelled onscreen (Skelegdog?), a flood of people rushed the site. The response was astonishing.
Eventually, our server recovered and the orders started piling up. So many people– old friends and new fans– have overwhelmed us with encouraging notes, calls, texts, suggestions and orders. Tonight, Skeledog tees are on their way to new homes in almost every state. We are beyond thrilled to share our tees with Today’s massive audience!

Unbelievable news: Skeledog is coming to a TV near you! Tastemaker Dara Foster of PupStyle is including our tees in her upcoming product review on the Today Show! That’s right: the live-from-New-York, 4 hours of Matt Lauer, ratings dominatin’ morning news show that reaches a national audience of, oh, 14 million viewers a day.
Ms. Foster, style expert and Skeledog fan, is presenting a round up of holiday gifts for pet lovers. Here’s what they did last year:
The new segment is scheduled to air on Tuesday, 12/16, during the 9:00 hour.
Right about now you may be asking, how in the world did we did we land that kind of publicity? Are we ready to serve up Skeledogs to the masses of tee-starved holiday shoppers who will be dazzled by our teevee debut? Is the world ready for all that tasty, pet x-ray goodness? Stay tuned… we can’t wait to see what happens!

It was another weekend packed with crafty goodness! Hundreds of creative types and holiday shoppers packed the Indie Craft Experience Shopping Spectacular at Ambient + Studio, not far from Skeledog headquarters in Atlanta.
Our tiny booth was right by the DJ and the eggnog. With a steady stream of old and new friends and delighted customers, the whole day felt like a party! And sales were totally making our spirits bright. Let’s just say, lots of good little boys and girls will be finding skeledog tees under the tree this year…

Crisp sunshine and buckets of chili drew the masses to Cabbagetown Park yesterday for the annual Chomp and Stomp festival. Meanwhile, down at the artists market, we found a new way of luring customers into the skeletent– Foxie Brown in her hammock:
It worked like a charm!
There are lots of dog lovers and tee junkies in these parts. As usual, we made some new friends and took votes for the next breed. This guy introduced us to the “schnocker” (schnauzer + cocker spaniel):
It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood and a fun start to the holiday season. Huge thanks to everyone who dropped by our tent!

Who’s this pack of fine looking athletes? This fall, we sponsored a flag football team at GCSU! Thanks in part to their electrifying poodle uniforms, Team Skeledog kicked butt. Here’s the highlights from Lowell (pictured center, with the goatee):
Our team scored 178 points in 5 games, and only gave up 6 points during the regular season. We ran the classic double quarterback Offense, with a tenacious 2-4-2 Defense. Interesting note: We had a female center and middle linebacker.
Congratulations on a great season! Thanks for representing on the field and on campus. Raspberry looks good on you.

Good news for those who like their skeledog snug– by popular demand, all our breeds are now available in Girlie Medium! Like most American Apparel tees, they run small. As the smallest size in our lineup, they’re perfect for our petite lady friends and a few third graders we know.

What could be cuter than a dachshund convention?
A bunch of doxies in Halloween costumes, of course.
Last weekend, Charles and Foxie, the original skeledogs, attended HOWL-O-WEENIE 2008, a day of dachshund-gawking, bluegrass, costumes, tail-wagging and face-kissing contests sponsored by DREAM (an Atlanta dachshund Rescue group).
Foxie took second place in her wiener dog race. And Highland Pet Supply was on hand with a big batch of skeledog dachshunds for sale.
If you missed the spectacle, we’ll be back in Cabbagetown Park on Saturday, November 8 for the Chomp & Stomp festival. We can’t promise as many wiener dogs, but the music, 5K and Chili cookoff will be awesome. See you there!
