We
are an innovative bunch who strive to come up with new
and exciting ideas for biscuits and other treats for
Dogs. We have been asked recently if we can also cater
for cats. All of our products are indeed perfectly fit
for feline consumption too, though they probably
wouldn’t appreciate the bones and paws! So...coming
soon…puss-friendly shapes.
We’re always open to ideas and we know every little Bob
and Bobette has their own tastes, so we welcome any
feedback you’d like to give us on our products.
All our products are cooked in small batches and then
packaged and labelled with the utmost care. We are
happy to take orders for specialised treats, biscuits
and pup-cakes and we can personalise all items with
icing (yoghurt, cream cheese or traditional icing).
And yes, Bone-jour Bob does actually exist. And yes, he
is French.
We
found Bob wandering around a country lane in Northern
France in August of 2008. He had been seen by several
local people over the previous week and had clearly been
abandoned (he was a young dog, around 7 months old). We
coaxed him out of a roadside ditch with sausages (if
only we knew how much he loved cheese & garlic biscuits
back then). Our God-daughter, Jessie, and her friend
Sophie decided he looked like a “Bob” so that was how we
addressed him.....he seemed to quite like it. We took
him back to where we were staying and gave him a proper
meal and a quick shower....he was very bedraggled, tired
and hungry and promptly then fell asleep Jessie’s arms!
Every attempt was made to find where he had come from;
posters were displayed in the local boulangerie, the
Mairie and in local bars but there were no claims on
him. He had, however, captured our hearts. Sadly for
us, we had to return to England so our kind friends
Norman & Alice looked after him until other arrangements
could be made. This was a tricky task as they had 2
very lively ginger cats who didn’t take kindly to this
young pretender invading their home space. We returned
a week later to make more permanent arrangements.
In
line with pet immigration laws in the UK, Bob had to
obtain a “Pet Passport” and then wait for 6 months
before coming to London to live with us. To say he had
a fantastic 6 months that would be a wholly inadequate
description. Other friends, Annie and Bob lived
nearby and agreed to take the orphan in to live with
them as part of their family...he even had a ready-made
brother in their dog Butchy. Annie, Bob and Butchy grew
very fond of little Bob – even though Big Bob denies it
to this day –and they had an eventful 6 months
together. At one point Big Bob was in danger of cooking
him for Christmas dinner when Annie left the oven door
open and little Bob hopped inside. Another time, they
were greeted at the door on their return from a night
out by Bob with a rose in his mouth....how sweet –
except the rose was from a vase which had started out on
the middle of the dining room table. It appears that
little Bob had a particular talent for trying to escape,
at one point gaining freedom only to sit in the garden
of a neighbour with 2 rather large Rottweilers for
company. The 6 months passed quickly with monthly
custody visits from us. At last the time came for him
to come home to London and that is where he is
now.....eating lots of biscuits
He’s a popular and sociable little fellow and acquired
the nickname Bonjour Bob from fellow dog owners
locally. Little did we know when we found this scruffy
little mutt that he would turn out to be the inspiration
for a Dog Bakery in North London. |
