It has been said that stray dogs have an uncanny ability of finding their perfect fur-ever home on their own. And so, our story goes like this. We first met our k-9 mascot as  she wandered up to the loading dock of our store in Mobile Alabama. She was absolutely adorable and had a unique sparkle in her eye. Instead of just offering her a bit of food and water, this fun-loving, no-name pup got an invite to walk around our store. Well let me tell you, she strutted through the isles like she was the grand Marshal in a Mardi Gras parade. After watching her have so much fun and relax for the first time in a while, we knew that this love affair was not going to end any time soon. After a few days, we decided to adopt her and gave her the name Mardi. Now Mardi lives a fitting life surrounded by parties and celebrations. If you ever have the opportunity to stop at Toomey's Mardi Gras store in Mobile Alabama, be sure to ask if Mardi is working. She would love to meet you and say hello.
