Being in customer service work is not for the faint of heart. While my job is marketing and social media (for my full time job), I am the first stop a lot of people make when they want to talk to someone.

Nowadays people are in a rush and the way they communicate is quick and clipped. Text over actually speaking to someone also makes things come across rude.

My tip for the day: there are real people behind brands and companies who are just trying to survive and make a living. Chances are your problem is not actually caused by the person you’re speaking to. Take a second to read over what you type before hitting send. If you approach someone with kindness first, you can then choose if you have to get more firm after seeing how they respond. It doesn’t hurt to be kind first. (And believe me, after my run in with my past car, I know things can’t always be resolved how we’d like it to, but we can all start out giving everyone the benefit of the doubt).

No real reason for this post, just thoughts I have. :) Happy Tuesday!

We got our gear and made our way to the this weekend. What a great family bonding experience. I wish Zoe and Zac could have made it but she had a soccer game. The weather was perfect and Otis and the dogs had a blast.

We got asked about our gear a few times, so what helps us be successful on our runs?

- belts or something similar are a game changer. My son is wearing one came out with many many years ago. It’s still kicking! This helps distribute the pressure from them pulling over a wider, more sturdy area on your hips.
- A good pulling harness. These two harnesses are from . I admittedly haven’t bought Turtle one yet because she is younger and I was waiting until now for her to hit her full size.
- Bungee leash
- Biothane collars don’t soak up water or mud.
- slide on tags are a MUST! I don’t have to worry about them getting snagged on anything!
- Good shoes. I actually forgot my shoes so I had to stop and get a cheap pair from Walmart that morning. 🤣 But highly recommend good shoes with grip!

Would you do a race like this with your dog?!

What a beautiful day to share with my son, Turtle, and Hip Hop. Thank you for a great family fun day. And thank you for this photo. 🫶🫶🫶

He’s done a lot of growing mentally and physically this last year and it really showed today. I am also so incredibly proud of Turtle today! This was her first big physical adventure and she knocked it out of the park. We both thought she’d be a kite at the end of a string but she really kept moving forward beautifully, kept a beautiful pace, and did really well passing dogs. She looked so mature out there 🥹🥹🥹 I’m working on the video on our GoPro, I’ll have it soon! 🎉

to this beautiful picture I caught downtown during the holidays. 🫶 They had just opened this new park in the middle of downtown and we enjoyed a little morning out there.

I can’t believe this girl turns 1 next month. I feel like we were just getting excited for her to come home and we are still getting used to her being in the house. But here we are almost a year!

Will we see you at tomorrow? My son and I are fun running at 11am! We’ll have Turtle and TBD lol and then Disco is going to do herding try it’s between 12-1pm! I’m so excited to see what she does. She’s always loved herding the balls in the back.

We often get asked how quick it takes our dogs to get used to the shoes and my answer is it depends on your dog! Our Windsprites are a bit more sensitive so we’ve taken it slower with them. Hip Hop has taken the longest to be comfortable while Disco is was the first to be like, “ok, this isn’t that bad!” Turtle was quick to learn how to move in them after voicing her concerns to us first. Make your session short, give them lots of goodies, and start with just one or two at a time and you’ll see their confidence bloom!

It’s the little, unexpected relationships that social media builds that make it worth it.

I had one last stop I wanted to do at , so Turtle and I hustled to that booth. We were finishing up and getting ready to leave on Friday when we were stopped by so they could say hi to Turtle. They have an Italian greyhound and were smitten with Turtle. We introduced them to the Windsprite breed and they were sooo sweet. After leaving Global, they kept in touch and sent us some goodies because Turtle loved their lung treats!

It brings me so much joy to share my dogs with others and I love the relationships they’ve helped me build both on and off social media. 🫶 Thank you for treating our puppies and please let me know how we can help you grow!

This post was most definitely not required but is well deserved! 🫶

So the big question: Peeps, are you a fan, or noooo thank you? For me, their purpose in life is putting them in a microwave to watch them expand. 🤣
