Humor among us.

At Nofo at the Pig in Raleigh, we often field calls from folks who think we're a barbecue restaurant. This week however, the caller was not looking for a plate of Q.

Ring. Ring.

Nofo employee: Goodafternoon, Nofo.

Caller: I have a pot bellied pig that's gotten too big for me to handle. Will you take him?

Nofo employee: Maam, I think you have the wrong number. We're a gift store and a restaurant.

Caller: Oh. Well! I certainly don't want you to eat him! I'll call elsewhere.

The Doggie Deli

Thank you for asking about the Doggie Deli and dogs on the deck in Raleigh.

We miss the furry creatures sitting under our feet while we dine on the deck, too. But, alas, the Health Department is less than fond of mixing fur and food and many of our customers prefer dining sans dogs.

The Health Department will not allow dogs to come inside Nofo in Raleigh & Wilmington either, so they can no longer shop in our pet department, even when accompanied by an adult human.

And, in regard to the doggie deli offerings, we cut way back when the new dog store, Just Dogs, opened 4 doors down. It's a small neighborhood - and there are just so many dog gourmands in 27608 and 09.

Thank you for your interest and we hope you'll enjoy checking the pet department and deli for new items.

In fact, here's a 20% off coupon for collars and leashes. Good through May 15! Just print this posting off, and bring it in to the store!
