GuardDog Watches Welcomes Gemplers and Lab Safety!
GuardDog is pleased to announce Gempler's to our growing list of distributors. Gempler's is a division of Lab Safety Supply, and is a premier supplier of hand-picked "commercial-grade" products shipped direct to your dock or doorstep.
(From their website)
Over the years GEMPLER'S has developed a skill for selecting the right products and services for people working outside. In recent years we have expanded into pest management, and shop and supplies, and crop, turf, and nursery production. In these new areas our approach has been the same; sort through all the available products and hand pick the right ones to save our customers time. We now offer over 17,000 different items which are all available in our full line Master catalog and this website.
Over the years we've had the pleasure to get to know some of the staff who work for Gempler's. We find them to be among the nicest and most innovative people we've ever worked with. We at GuardDog feel extremely proud to have passed Gempler's rigorous supplier certification process and hope that you'll shop for GuardDog Watches as well as some of the other fine products they offer.

GuardDog guys -- I received a wonderful GuardDog watch from a friend (James Brown...really - that's his name). I have been wearing and using it every day since then. The watch is a delight to use, and JB was so proud to present it to me. I like wearing the watch to work because it is tough and I don't have to worry about scratching it as I've done all my other watches. Its' face is easy to read at a quick glance both at work and when I am riding. Thanks for putting out a great product!!
Mahalo,
Christina

Dave Courtney is the Man!
Dave Courtney, Guarddog Owner, was kind enough to send us this photo and self-authored caption. Thanks Dave!

Dog Loves CAT!
File under man bites dog, or something like that. While we are not generally cat people per se', we've made an exception for this cat. Yes indeed, if you are a fan of those world famous yellow machines, now you can show your pride with a Caterpillar Branded Belt Watch.
If you collect CAT merchandise, and you'd like to get one of these, click here.

Guest Lecture at St. Scholastica -Duluth, MN
Whatta Dog!
If you are reading this, there's a good chance you and I will meet on Monday morning. I hope you'll be awake!
In very dog-like fashion I e-mailed a very old and dear friend today who I hadn't spoken with in (gulp) 4 years. Some friend I am, huh. In the process of seeing if she'd like to have a cup of coffee, she asked if I'd come speak to her advertising class. I said sure, why not.
What am I going to talk about? Well, for the past 18 months me and my business partner Eric have been chasing after a dream. We chucked our corporate jobs and the paychecks that went with them to work out of our guest rooms and try to convince hardware and industrial tool stores they ought to be selling watches.
It's a bit of a work in progress, but on the cusp of two years into this experiment, we're basically on-track based upon our original business plan. You'll be happy to know that I do in fact use quite a few of the skills I developed in college and a whole bunch of stuff that I gleaned from the corporate world.
I hope you find it useful and I hope you have a lot of questions. Oh, and if you know anybody who wants to buy a watch or two, have 'em drop me an e-mail by clicking here.
