29 days ago • 1 min readHi [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - Of course, I've been thinking a lot about when I'll get another dog.

I asked if we could get an extra-good deal on one item and the higher-ups said YES, so it’ll be the lowest price it’s ever been tomorrow. 🙌 I also requested the Bissell Little Green Mini because, hello... that's a NEED, not a want. But the real reason...

3 months ago • 1 min readHi [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - How is your August so far? Mine is infinitely better than July, thank dog! I just got back from 5 days on Cape Cod, one of my favorite places I went with Burt and Lucy. After Lucy passed last June, Burt and I spent more than half the summer there, going to the beach every morning.
