🐾❤️ Happy National Dog Day! ❤️🐾

Today we celebrate ALL the amazing dogs who have touched our lives — our past, present, and foster fur babies. 🐶💕

Some have stayed with us forever, some have crossed the rainbow bridge and left paw prints on our hearts, and some have been lucky enough to pass through our homes on their way to their forever families. 🐾🌈🏡

No matter how long they were part of our lives, each one has been loved, cherished, and unforgettable. ❤️

Here’s to the goofy faces, wagging tails, wet kisses, couch cuddles, and unconditional love that only a dog can give. 🐕🥰

Happy National Dog Day to every dog, everywhere! 🐾❤️

⚠️ Temporary Closure Notice ⚠️

Due to the severe storms that came through the area, we are currently closed because of a power outage.

The safety of our customers and staff is our top priority, and we unfortunately can’t prepare the fresh food you expect from us until power has been restored.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding during this unexpected situation.

We’ll reopen as soon as power is restored! We’ll post an update here as soon as we’re back up and running.

Thank you for your continued support of our family-owned business. We can’t wait to serve you again soon! ❤️🌭🍔

Hey everyone! We wanted to let you know that although we updated our hours starting May 1st, we’ve made one more change.

We’ll still be open later during the week, but we’ve decided to go back to being closed on Sundays.

As a small, family-owned business, Sundays give us the opportunity to spend an entire day with our family instead of just a few hours together at the end of the night. That time is truly important to us, and we appreciate your understanding.

Thank you for your continued support, patience, and for choosing to support our family business. We couldn’t do this without all of you, and we look forward to serving you Monday through Saturday!

Our current hours are:
📅 Monday–Friday: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM
📅 Saturday: 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM
📅 Sunday: Closed

Thank you again for being part of the Big Norm’s family! ❤️
