About Darcie (pics)
Hi, I’m Darcie Krueger and I am totally and absolutely blessed to to get to work with dogs in this lifetime. Kent and I started SitStay, Inc. in 1996 together, we flipped a coin and I get to be President. I was born in the foothills of California, grew up on, lived, and worked on ranches in the western United States until I was 27 years old. I went through the school of hard knocks working and learning to keep my children and myself fed and not naked. My children were very grateful as were the people I worked with side by side.

Oliver and me after a long hard day, Oliver is cheering me up and being goofy.
College was wonderful. I loved every minute of it and although it came later in life for me than it did for my children, I got it done. I would have liked to stay there and stuff more education under my belt but they told me graduation day was at hand and I really should go get my diploma.
In 1996, Kent and I started the dog supply store SitStay.com. One of the very first pet supply stores online. That’s pretty cool. SitStay has grown to be one of the largest stores on the Internet that focuses solely on dogs. We have over 4000 products and it’s all Good for Your Dog Supplies.
I’ve been working with dogs for over 50 years, I guess that’s a fairly extensive background in dogs, and a very nice way to live, I might add. Public speaking and writing are my second favorite things to do.

I am a simple country girl with a wide open mind and a deep and abiding love for dogs that will put any dog lover to shame.
Thanks for reading and if you like, join the conversation with your comments. I will not answer comments directly or on the blog unless they are sent to Ask Darcie.
[SitStay.com is different than a lot of other dog supply stores. We don't sell electric shock or metal collars. We don't carry food that will shorten a dog's life. We don't sell bleached rawhide that can kill a dog. Our philosophy is Above All, Be Kind. We don't support businesses who do sell things that will harm a dog. A day at a time, a dog at a time, a life at a time. It's how I choose to run my business. When we don't support those who would hurt a dog, it makes us all better human beings and the dogs collectively love us better for it. Thank you for shopping at SitStay where you find Good for Your Dog Supplies. We're family owned and operated since 1996. We appreciate your business and your friendship. Darcie]
I hope you enjoy The Dish. Hugs to Your Dogs!
