Happy October, everyone!

It’s hard to believe how quickly time is passing by—it feels like I say that all the time, but it really is true! The school year is in full swing, and I am awaiting the crisp fall weather. Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I can’t wait to finish setting up my decorations and hand out candy on Halloween Eve!

One of my favorite traditions is buying my dogs a new Halloween outfit each year. This year, however, our celebration feels bittersweet as we had to say goodbye to my beloved dog, Stinka-fish, at the end of August. Our hearts are still heavy with his loss, but I want to honor his memory through this month’s self-care for a cause initiative and dedicate it to him.

The veterinary clinic we visit supports a wonderful non-profit called Vet Partners Cares, which assists pet owners who face unexpected medical costs for their pets. This organization is dedicated to helping low-income, unemployed, or disabled pet owners keep their beloved companions at home. If you feel moved to help, you can donate online at [www.vetpartnerscares.org] or contribute to the donation box during your next visit which I will lovingly call “The Fish Fund” 🐶

Stinka-fish was a truly sweet, gentle giant, and we will miss him dearly. His brother, George, is dressing up in a fish costume this year to honor his big brother’s spirit.

For those of you who follow my business on Instagram or Facebook, I want to give you a heads up that I’ll be sharing many memories of Stinka-fish and the outfits he graciously let me dress him in! I hope his joyful spirit brings a smile to your face, just as it did to ours every single day.

I hope you have a Happy Halloween and if you have pets at home give them extra love and treats! (Pictured here is George showing off his finding Nemo fish costume. You can see how pumped he is about it 😂)
