Pawesome Wednesday Greetings Furriends

Welcome to the Pet Parade and our weekly news round up!

What a week; we were making a few more snuggle mats and the sewing making started to smoke, so we had to take evasive action, get the fire extinguisher and put it out and the P.A. too who was using it at the time.  No she wasn't smoking it was just unfortunate fur her! MOL MOL [she wasn't impressed, though we think she should be grateful fur our swift thinking and action].

So anyhoo the machine is broken, we have to take it to see if it can be repaired this week, but the good news is, we have another one so the snuggle mat production line didn't get interrupted - WOOO HOOOO!



Smooch's Tough Design Choices

As chief designer this week at BBHQ, Smooch has had some really tough design choices to make, such as;  what colour pom pom trim to use on the snuggle mats, what size pom pom trim to use on the snuggle mats and what fabric to make the snuggle mats from - woah too much pressure fur sure!

Smooch's Tough Design Choices on The Pet Parade @BionicBasil®

At this point Smooch was a rock in a hard place and didn't know if he wanted to use the mustard yellow pom pom trim or the purple, like we used fur HRH Erin's mat. Choices, choices.... aftur an awful lot of deliberation he chose the purple.

The Cat from Quality Control - Says YES!

Melvyn is supurr focused when he's wearing his Quality Control Officers hat; just look at that intense concentration, nothing will distract him from his job - well a pile of primo catnip would but apart from that he's incredibly dedicated to the task at paw.

Melvyn Quality Testing on The Pet Parade @BionicBasil® QCO BBHQ

He likes to test things such as:-  mat comfort and size, overall springiness, fabric quality, fabric softness/smoothness/type, pom poms etc... its a furry involved job but it is rather rewarding especially when mew get pawesome feedback from extremely catisfied customers.

"Smooch, this one is a pass!" Melvyn shouted before he added it to the growing pile... see below.
