Hi Reader, Confession: I went to Target for “just a few things.” As I settle into Honolulu, I’ve been building not just a new home but also a new practice. And apparently… buying everything in aisle 7. 😅 It’s a little overwhelming, but also really exciting — kind of like training can feel for our dogs. One step at a time, with patience (and plenty of snacks), we’ll get there. Thanks for being here with me through the chaos, the joy, and the journey. Big things are ahead — for both me and Dog’s Choice — and I can’t wait to share more soon. With gratitude (and a very full cart), P.S. Just like training, moving reminds me that progress is messy — but worth it. Thanks for sticking with me. |
