Back to school, eh? That’s got us thinking. And remembering. Thinking and remembering. That’s what we’re doing.

Welcome to the not-so-secret world of pet owners. We’ve been yappin’ a bit about Barkology, Buffalo’s first and only indoor dog park and bar—mostly because we just revamped its website with some fresh photos and what-not.

Happy Mother’s Day! Do we love our moms? Of course! Do we love your mom? Yep, sure do. Do we love all moms, maternal figures, and the motherly, in general? Yes. We. Do.

Quilted Squirrel staffers as ‘Peanuts’ characters

Quilted Squirrel: Iconic "Charlie Brown" stripe with eight Easter eggs

It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown! Looks like our old pal Lucy made it to Quilted Squirrel to celebrate spring. That, or she’s looking to make some music with the “beautiful sound of nickels.” We think it’s the latter, as she’s come to share some words of wisdom with our Quilted Squirrel staffers—in exchange for […]
