Little moma has a chair. She put's it in front of the door and waves and says hello to all that pass. All she need is a Shot Gun (Her job description also includes sweeping and breaking merchandise - only once). It great having a family business. Lil Daddy comes from School and helps with inventory and pricing.
I put fences on the wall over peg board to display some of the items, mainly clothes. Had an Interior Decorator, but she wanted 7 stacks. Im like folk, this aint Lenox Mall, this a store for dogs.
Im gonna carry beds, cages, and got shampoo made with wine, aloe, oatmeal and flea powereds that are natural.
That taste of the wild above is made with salmon and one is made with wild game birds.
Still More Dogfood. Waiting on my clothes and my dog t-shirts and wife beaters.
My Granny and momma were here for a day Mother's day. My lil cuz raduated rom Tuskeggee
Four Generations (im just not in pic)and they all in my store at one time - priceless. I just lost one granny. She didnt get to see the store but this one and my mom did. Still got a lot of work to do but i have work ethic, and faith and Anything I think of I can do - some one has to be number one, may as well be me. 572 Edgewood, suite 117, ATL ....Back to politics, and culture and history as usual tommorow.
" Now that's how you do the Damn thang Bruh!"
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful shot of Moms, Granny and Shai too! Main, I hope you knock em dead...Got all the loot in the ATL. Bruh, you are truly blessed and may the goodness of God radiate all over you with success. Luv you Bro! And thats on the real!
How ya living mr world travler, hope lil momma taking good car of u see u soon love
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! Where is it located? I have a friend, a serious dog person, who lives in Tucker who should come shop at your store.
ReplyDeleteI am so very happy for you! The store looks fabulous! You are so surrounded by strong and supportive women...what more do you need! (smile)

ReplyDeleteI love the picture of your family. I wish you the best with the store. Are you going to try and sell things online also? By the way, I read the other article about the football player trying to kill his kids. Thats crazy.

Baby, this sounds like a great business. I personally don't care for dogs since I married 4 of them but that's another story for anotha time. Anyway, you got to have a hustle these days. I tells you what I've been doing pretty good selling my home made hog head cheese sandwiches and kool-aid! Well good luck on with your new hustle baby. Take care now.

WOW!!! Looks like everything is coming right along!!! That's wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE TO SEE A BLACK MAN ON TOP OF HIS GAME! Keep it man and MUCH MUCH success to you.
BEEEYOOOOOTIFUL!!! I'm so happy and excited for you! There's nothing like being an entrepreneur, huh? You will work (as you are obviously finding out) harder than you have EVER worked before in your life. But it's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you!!! Congrats!!! (I haven't forgotten about the idea you threw out on my blog--we'll talk soon.)
Glad things are coming along smoothly.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is beautiful...
yo, T congratulations on your venture! for what it's worth, i have a friend that owns a dog daycare called Fido Fido. http://www.fidofido.com/ she's good people. perhaps ya'll can do some business. give me a shout.
ReplyDeleteaddae
Making moves... Glad to see thought make it into action. I wish you well on your new venture.
ReplyDeleteI think its great that you had a generation reunion at the beginning of what will be a successful business.
You picked the right store concept. Dogs are a big business. And people really are serious about their dogs.
That's great. Good luck with the new store. I agree, I would rather work 12-14 hours on my own business than anyone else's. I'm not in Atlanta too often these days, maybe once a year, but now I have added incentive.
ReplyDeleteThis is such great news!!! Do your thing & make it happen. I have a few side hustles & there is nothing like being your own boss.
ReplyDeleteYour little boo is a cutie & should attract you some business based on the cute factor. Her having a shotgun would be icing on the cake.
Bygbaby
Congrats! Love a good "come-up"...My dog needs to pay you all a visit. Do you give baths as well? lol
ReplyDeleteThat's alright right there T-Dawg. I didn't know they made wife beaters for dogs, you can sell a ton of those in the hood for all those brothers with Pit Bulls.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. Can't wait to visit the store. I'll hook you up with a video when I come your way.
Congrats and best of luck.
ReplyDeleteHey thanks for checking out my site and congrats on the new venture. I will def visit the store
ReplyDeletehow do i register to this daggon blog because i swear everytime i head this way i have missed a post and 19 people already commented!! lol
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS! From one entrepreneur to another...doesn't it feel absolutely wonderful to be living out a dream? And also kudos for getting your children involved early. The experience that they receive now will be priceless to them later.
ReplyDeleteI have an uncle that is starting a clothing line in ATL. When I come I will have to stop by.
Let's definitely connect about some dog jewelry. I will slide you an email real soon about this.
Im digging the hustle #2. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteLittle Momma provides the warmest welcoming. Congrats! It's a beautiful thing to see black love, black family and black businesses.
ReplyDeleteIf I come to ATL, I will def check you out.
Thats big for the kids to see that and be able to be involved. You're planting that spirit in them. And let me say for the fellas that don't know, ain't nothing like having a little girl, I know we all dream of raising 5 boys that make it to the league of their choice but ain't nothing like a little girl. My 3 have Daddy's heart on lock. Good luck and God Bless with the store, it's looking good.

ReplyDeletethe women in your family are stunning. what a bless.
ReplyDeletethe store is looking on point, and I have a feeling that some lovely women will be coming thru there. you never know your new love may be a dog lover....
stay up!
Congrads on the store homie you so RAW LOL! and of course I'm holding down MEMPHIZ like always!
ReplyDeleteWell congratulations!!! Yes, running a business is hard, but it's worth the sweat. We have a party rental company and we rent inflatables, bounce houses, concessions equipment, tables and chairs. I am constantly on the phone, and doing some sort of paperwork, or processing payment, but it's worth it. My poor husband works 7 days a week.
ReplyDeleteI do understand, but owning is the first step toward the intangible American Dream.
Oh that's a really precious picture. Glad u seem to have such a close family.
ReplyDeleteSo, I tracked down a pc just for you. The store is looking great. I'm mad about the wife beaters... for dogs.. I guess the pits and rots need clothes too. Oh yeah, I could have decorated and would have only charged you like a grand lol. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeletecongratulations!! nothing like being your own boss!! im jealous!
ReplyDeletegood stuff! I'ma have to come thru.

ReplyDeleteLove the fam pic. Your daughter is so pretty.

ReplyDeleteand your baby is ADORABLE! I miss mine at that age- wait, I take it back, nevermind LOL
Man I am so happy for you! Ain't nothing like seeing a black man do his thing. I wish you were in the D cause I would sure come by the store and get my dog something to chew on. May God continue to bless your endeavors and give you much peace.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Everything looks nice. Absolutely adore the family pictures. I am also stuck on the dog wife beaters. Who would have thought.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Torrance, that's alright. Babygirl is beautiful and what you are doing is wonderful. I wish you prosperity beyond measure. As long as you keeping looking out for us by enlightening and giving us "what's good" God will look after you.
ReplyDeleteATL STAND UP!

ReplyDeletethat is SO COOL that you are opening a pet store!!! i have this dream of opening up a store to sell jewelry (mexican and native american pieces mostly ... but also the cool bakelite and costume stuff from the 30's and 40's and 50's). i would be so much happier, i think, then the grueling work i do now.
you've inspired me to do some serious thinking about my "dream" ...
:)
anita
ReplyDeletethanks dream dream and act and live u can do it and do come back
Hey Brother,
ReplyDeleteMay God bless your business ABUNDANTLY!
It looks great T! I'm so happy for you and i know it was great to have the fam around to see your success, lil mama is such a cutie pie, and i know she was hollering hi with that sweet smile of hers! She gonna bring in all the customers. Now i got to get me a dog to dress up!
ReplyDeletewatch me do me! glad you just about ready to open those doors. still gonna send e'erbody i know with a dog in the atl your way. no doubt. that generational thing is priceless. my grandmoms are both long gone and i'm only 26. lol about the interior decorator. most of the customers you have are color blind anyway! well, i know the dogs aren't the customers, but you know what i'm saying. i'm just happy for ya. you've inspired me to get my ish together and get on my entreprenegro. lil mama is a cutie. she looks like she's gonna be good holding down the fort.
ReplyDeletecongrats
ReplyDeleteaww@the last pic
RDB, this is a beautiful thing! 4 generations able to bear witness to such a fulfilling accomplishment. So inspiring.
ReplyDeleteLil Momma is such a cutie! If ever I am in GA and you need a babysitter I would totally volunteer my services.
It looks good from this end!
ReplyDeleteI hope and pray that you are blessed a hundred fold many times over for your effort.
By the way, is the binky pup going to need a personal trainer? Cause it sounds like the eatin' will be good in his part of the neighborhood! :-)
One of my favorite family photos is one that has my paternal grandmother, mother, firstborn granddaughter and me in the shot.
Little did I know that my grandmother and granddaughter would be called home to be with the Lord. So the phot is priceless to me.
I learned something today~I had no clue that doggies wear wife beaters!
I love dogs and cats but I am resisting the idea of having a pet again. My hours are just to crazy!
AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is adorable.
And Grandmama and Mama are regal.
You need The Honest Kitchen. That's what I feed my dogs when I'm too lazy to actually cook for them and it's amazing. It's dehydrated raw food.
ReplyDeletethehonestkitchen.com
Way to go, T.
ReplyDeletewhy a dog-centered business if i may ask?
ReplyDeleteI think that is just wonderful that you're instilling valuable work ethics in your children at young ages...your daughter looks adorable and as if she means business too. I'll make sure t stop by for support whenever I am back in ATL.
ReplyDeletei am so happy for you and am glad that we can follow along in this endeavor. i am filled with joy. i love seeing young black people doing their thing and fulfilling their dreams! congrats! you are making your children proud.

I will put my life
ReplyDeleteabove my child
but she is my life
she’s my entire world
I will live my life
so I won’t place blame on her
because she isn’t a reason
for me to stop living
and she’ll be right there
next to me
both of us…
smiling
I have nothing now
just like he said
take it all bitch
one of my favorite lines
from my favorite movie
“Center Stage”
I have nothing
just like he said
but I have her
the only thing worth keeping
that you gave
because you can take it all
what ever you think you gave
because you are controlling
and if I don’t have shit of yours
you ain’t got shit to say
The babysitter
told me
she said nothing of the sort
about me cussing in front of her
So who's the liar now?
because cussing it’s something
I don’t try to do
some times it may slip…but nothing like this…
I held her in my arms tonight
while you screamed
“You should FUCK me”
but I won’t TOUCH you
because you are tainted
with something…yuck
so what I tried to kill myself
Evilness prompted you
to bring that up..right?
I was trying to escape that hell
that I felt
when I slept next to you
because you spirit is ugly
it’s darkness
and it’s consumed you
and if I stuck around
it was gonna get me too.
So what I have bipolar
Ya’ll check his comments
he claims to be supportive
such a contradiction
how can you explain
turning it around
and tossing in my face
my condition
when most likely
you are suffering from something
and you are just in denial
and that’s crazier
than anything
I’ve got going on
Yes I planted myself
in the middle of the road
about 2 years ago
when I believed
with you I was stuck
and I had nowhere to go
I wanted a truck or car
to strike me
right in your front yard
and leave you in your tears
as you cleaned up my blood
and gathered my body parts
and collected my guts
but why tonight
would you bring that up
to hurt me huh
So what if tonight
I decided to take my life?
How would you feel
if I wrote an elaborate note
detailing how I would come back
and haunt your house
and how you drove me to this point
by trying to Britney Spears me
trying to take custody
of something I gave birth to
when all you did was fertilize the seed
Think about that
because if I’m so crazy
I may just leave you in this world alone
this cold cantankerous world
like a never ending timeout
for adults
you will have to think about
what you did
and what you could have said
or done
just to prevent
what you caused to happen
except it or not
because like I said a couple
of lines up
my memory
I know…it will haunt
You are soooo smart
ReplyDeletebut you don’t have any sense
why would you put
our daughters image
all over the internet?
Yeah she’s on my myspace
but it’s everyone that I grew up with
that is on my friends list
and plus my page is set
to private
but you just display
her face
and the fact that her
vagina is infected
what kind of shit
just like me
she’s almost 3
and with you
she has no privacy
that’s a shame
do you even realize
the things that you do?
I don’t think so
because you write about
everything..about everbody else
all the problems that you never consume
because you have none
because you are too brand new
I’ll ask
one last time
it’s probably too late
some pedophile
is probably jacking off
to our daughters smile
please don’t write intimate things
about her on here
keep her pictures off this darn blog
because it’s not good
I bet you won’t listen
even if it’s stupid
and you know it
you will continue
to do what you want to do
That's one butiful little girl! And the four generations...priceless!
ReplyDeleteI ain't nothin but a cracker that grew up in Oak Cliff(Dallas, TX), I miss the old steets...
Man, nothing like being your own boss!! Best of luck to yah dawg.

@ Foia
ReplyDeleteI feel you on the privacy thing as well. I'm not going to argue against him posting pics of his daughter but I too was quietly shocked when he mentioned she had a yeast infection. I thought that was a bit much and I remember thinking 'poor thing, i wouldn't want someone to write something about my personal health, even if i was too young to know about it.'
@ dogon
ReplyDeleteno instigating. lol
Congrats! Cute daughter!!! You're right, family generations all in one place on one accord are priceless...and a blessing!
ReplyDeleteFoia
ReplyDeleteU write well, lovely expression of your heart
great poem
expression in life as such to me would be the bomb

just respect me

I fell ya, but i wrote the same about my son, and when he got in a fight at school
Ms. Denae
Yep, thats the ish
you wrote about your son's personal health problems as well as his fight or did you just write about his fight?
ReplyDeletei think health and a fight are two different things though. i'm not about to tell you how to handle your family. it's just, i don't know. it just seems to personal. i think your son would be appalled if he ever found out you wrote about his yeast infection.
(not saying he has one).
Good Luck wit th tha store BIG BROTHA ALL-MI-T! lol It looks like it's coming along great,and you ahve a beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the store! Are you selling Solid Gold dog food? Looking for a spot here so I don't have to always drive home for my baby's food.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the store... and your daughter's beautiful and looks just like you. But I confess I came to see Granny... Professor told me she's 'straight up!'. LOL! Word up!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! She looks like my granny. If she wasn't called home in 1999 I would have to sit and talk to you..lol.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!!!!!! Thats awesome to see black folk doing they thang!! I'm happy for you, I'll check you out when I get my dog!
