What a Cool Company!

Coming from a FFF (fast, fun and friendly) company at Target we weren't entirely sure what to expect PetSmart's culture to be (of course Brian researched before accepting the job but still) and we are happy to report that PetSmart too is FFF!  One night we attended family movie night where food and beverages were served and they had chairs, tables and beanbags(!) set up for the viewing of WallE!  What a fun time!!

Then a few weeks later they had Western Family night that was so cool it can't even be described in words!  Everything was done to the top including the invites and all of the activities in food.  You name it, they had it - facepainting, a band with dancing, old time photo booth, a petting zoo, a train ride, pony rides, cowboy hats and bandanas, picture stations....too much to even mention!

We started the evening with a horse and wagon ride complete with a cowboy serenade!

Trevor was all excited for the pony ride up until they assigned him his horse and he wouldn't get on.  Apparently he wanted the bigger horse.  So off he went and no ride for him :(

We devoured a fabulous dinner of pulled pork sandwiches (hot dog for Trevor of course), chips, beans and homemade root beer floats.  Another highlight of the evening was having dinner with the CEO Bob.  As it turns out he was sitting at the table right next to us but then everyone at the table got up and left (did they not realize they were dining with the CEO??) so Brian leaned over and said 'Bob if you'd like you can join us' which he did!  We had a great conversation and Trevor and Bob bonded over their love of potato chips...so much so that when Bob said there is no such thing as too many potato chips Trevor reached into his chips and handed one to Bob, which if we remember correctly he took!  In any case, the man with the blue bandana in this picture is Bob and his 9 year old daughter is in pink (she wasn't too happy about the outfit her Dad picked out for her to wear to the event!).

One of the last activities we participated in for the evening was a dog show that had various acts.  Here a dog climbs up the ladder and jumps off to his owner.  Trevor was very impressed with this and watches the video Mommy shot over and over on her phone!  Can't wait to see what event is up next at PetSmart!  What a cool company!
