Looking for a tub to wash your dog? Look no further!

Vintage 'Standard' Mini Tub & Shelf Back Sink w/ Chrome Legs

TUB SOLD & on its way to the Jersey Shore...

I can't help but smile when I see this tub. Pictures do not do it justice. It's just so darn cute (only 42" long) ... and useful! Great for a mudroom to wash off your feet, your dogs, soak your plants, or clean off anything mucky before heading into the house... or use it for a bath tub for your little ones... I would have loved something like this when I was little! It's also useful for grown-ups, too... although I'm sure it would be a quick dip but also a great shower base for tight spaces.

We also have the matching shelf back sink w/ chrome legs. They were made by 'Standard' (American Standard) I believe the color is Seafoam?

Check out the listing in our Ebay Store.

Our Very Own SPCA Calendar Girl!

Here's a sneak peek at next year's picture for the 2009 Roanoke Valley SPCA Local Pet Calendar. Sally, the Salvage Dog, has had the honor of being a calendar girl since the RVSPCA started the project. It's their largest fundraiser and all proceeds goes to a great cause.

The calendar has over 200 pictures of local pets and makes a great gift! They come out just in time for the holidays and can be purchased online & at a number of local retail stores, including here @ Black Dog.

For anyone interested in submitting a picture for 2010, contact Barbara Dalhouse - spaces fill up fast! It's a great way to honor a special pet or surprise someone with a tribute to their favorite pet.

We still have a few of the 2008 Calendars available here at the shop - they are now 50% off - come on by!
