10 days ago • 1 min read[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...

26 days ago • 1 min readHappy 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...

about 1 month 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. 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...

4 months ago • 2 min readSince I last emailed you, [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE], I’ve been trying really hard to find my community in my new town. In case you missed it, I moved across PA this winter and I’m still settling in. Of course, my community means dog people 😀 Last week, I started volunteering at the local animal shelter, and honestly, it felt really good to be around people who get how much dogs matter. I took Piglet out for a Shelter Skip Day. He’d been in the shelter since August 2025 and was SO...
READ POST2 weeks without Burt
5 months ago • 2 min readHi [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - It's been very quiet here for the past two weeks. In case you didn't see my sad news on social media, I want to share that my sweet, beloved boy Burt passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, April 9th. Just two weeks ago, we were walking in the woods. So it's still hard to believe how suddenly he was gone. Burt is the most loyal dog I’ve ever known. I think he was able to live so long - to over 14 years old - because he couldn’t bear the thought of not being...

6 months ago • 1 min readHi [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - How's your week going? I'm typing this while Burt is licking every last morsel of food from his slow feeder bowl next to me, then I have to head in to work. What's that?! Oh yeah, in case you didn't hear I started a new, super-cool job recently... I'm the newest host on QVC! I had my official on air debut a couple weeks ago and now you can regularly find me hosting shows on TV and their TikTok account. Today I'm very excited because there's an hour of pet...
