Hi [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - You know I LOVE setting goals for my blogging business. Years ago it was 10K Instagram followers, then 50,000 monthly blog visits. And now I have a new one… 4,000 watch hours on YouTube! I’m around 3,000 now, so I’m already 75% of the way there! Here’s why I’m in a hurry. YouTube is doubling the requirement for monetization in just a few months, so I REALLY want to hit 4,000 hours as soon as pawsible! I’ve been working toward this for a while, but between...

Hi [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - Of course, I've been thinking a lot about when I'll get another dog. I also get asked about it all the time! 🤪 And while I desperately miss Burt and Lucy, I'm getting closer to being ready for a dog of my own. But I'm also enjoying bringing dogs into my life in unconventional ways! For example, I volunteer at my local shelter for Shelter Skip Day when I take an adoptable dog for a walk or home to play enrichment games. As a matter of fact, I'm headed to...

[FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - What is going on lately? 😖 It feels like one icon after another is crossing to the other side. I just saw that the Obama's younger dog, Sunny, passed away this week. So I know I'm not the only one dealing with grief right now. Whether it's your own beloved pet, a favorite Instagram dog, an admirable celebrity or a loved one. I published a new video about dog aging and loss. This one is about the unexpected things I discovered about grief after saying goodbye...

Happy Monday, [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE]! Two quick dog-related things before I get back to my Monday... 1. I’m hosting a whole PET SHOP hour on QVC2 tomorrow! 🐶 Tuesday, Sept. 1 from 5–6pm ET. And I got to help plan what goes in the show! 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...

Hi [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. On this trip, Michael and I still spent our mornings at the dog beach because there's nothing more joyful than watching the dogs run and swim together. And being there made me...

Hi [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - Of course we know that everyone's dog is a perfect angel. 👼🏽 But occasionally there might be some things you need to work on. Things that will make your life easier, your home happier and your dog safer. Wouldn't it be great to have world-class dog and veterinary experts come over to your house and help with these things? That's possible this week with a FREE dog summit my friend Corinne Gearhart put together. Corinne is known as The Doodle Pro - she...
