Paws For Thought
“Life is short. Take the walk. Let them curl up beside you. Stop for the belly rubs. Hold on to the little moments that mean everything.”
Dogs bring a lot of joy. They also leave behind little reminders in the yard.
DoodyCalls handles pet waste 💩 removal for homes, communities, and commercial properties in Broward and Palm Beach.
They handle the scooping, cleaning, and dirty work so dog parents and property managers can enjoy cleaner outdoor spaces without stepping into a bad situation.

Paws & Prayers
Help Save Mastro
Many of you may know Britney from Brit's Boards, a familiar face at local dog-friendly events where she creates tasty Barkcuterie boards for pups and their people.
Right now, Brit and her dog Mastro could use some extra ❤️ love. Mastro has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, and this is a difficult time for them both.
If you are able to help in any way, whether it is support for Mastro's care, a virtual hug, or a prayer, it would mean so much. Read Mastro’s full story here.
Bone Appetit

Nose To Know 🤔
A Smelly Status Update
When your dog stops to sniff another dog's pee, they are not just being nosy. That little scent mark can carry clues about who left it, whether the dog was male or female, and even reproductive or social signals.
Think of it as a smelly status update for dogs. It may not say "I am mad today," but to your pup's nose, it can still say a whole lot.

After the Pup Hack above, I realized I should probably keep a tasty backup ready for those little dog negotiations.
If Ollie grabs something he should not have, a spoonful of Buddy Budder 🥜 might be the perfect trade. It comes in several flavors, gets great reviews, is made in the USA, and uses human-grade ingredients.
Keep it on hand for surprise "drop it" moments, or just give your pup a treat they will love.
