episode 1 is here!! dedicated to Lucy 💗

Hi [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - I'm so excited that episode 1 of my brand new podcast is officially out! 🎉 Should we have cake for breakfast to celebrate?? Burt says yes!

we dragged our suitcases through a wine festival 😂

Ciao from Italy, [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE]! A few days before we left for our trip, I found out there was going to be a “little wine festival” in the town where we’d be staying. Charming, right? Except… it turned out to be the most popular event for miles around! When we arrived, we had to weave through a sea of people with wine glasses on the cobblestone streets to even find our Airbnb. 😂 Naturally, we changed out of our airplane clothes and went right back out to join the fun! The...

🚨 the most important dog questions right now

Hi [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE], First off, thank you for being on my email list! 🥰 Over 20 years ago when I got my first dog, I thought raising a dog was all about obedience... and that enrichment just meant stuffing peanut butter into a Kong. This is Lola around 2005. She was a mischievous, smart, very good girl. She would have loved all the enrichment we do now! Now I know enrichment is the key to a calmer, happier, healthier life for both you and your dog! You’ve probably heard me...

Burt could’ve been sniffing for truffles?!

Listen up, [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE] - “A dog getting to use their nose is as important as a child learning to read.” Fern Watt dropped that line on the new episode of Pets Add Life and I'm obsessed. I was asked to be a guest co-host with my friend Kristen Levine, and it turned into one big celebration of enrichment and Labradors. 🤩 I shared the story of first spotting Burt on Petfinder around National Dog Day in 2018. Then Fern told us about scent work and truffle-hunting dogs....

the dog drug companies keep sending me money

Hey [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE], I’ve been meaning to tell you this since JANUARY and I can’t believe I haven’t yet. Sorry, but you know it's been a year over here. Anyhow... If your dog takes regular meds like Galliprant, Apoquel, Heartgard, Credelio, etc… you can get free money back from the companies that make those meds. Burt's weekly meds I'm not talking coupons and promo codes, but actual checks in the mail or money loaded onto a Visa gift card. 🤑 Just like that trending song I...

Burt’s kind of enrichment… but no snacks?! 😲

Hi [FORMATTED_FIRST_NAME GOES HERE], Burt and I have been at the beach for a week, and every morning on our walk I can’t help but geek out over how much non-food enrichment he gets here. Walking on the uneven sand, sniffing every crab 🦀, hearing the waves, feeling the cool water on his paws and legs (Burt is adamantly still NOT a swimmer!)… it’s all working his body and mind in the best ways. But you don’t need a beach to give your dog the same benefits! Here are my favorite non-food...
