It's a week after the Dog Show! Wow has time flown. Maybe you are still recovering from the week. Maybe you have some energy. Think about sending thank you notes! One that can be nice is one to the vet that takes care of your dog. Maybe send a picture of you and the ribbons and or trophies you won. A thank you card can spread some appreciation and kindness.

Your dog’s vaccine record. (Phyllis reached out to those that I don’t have yet.)
