Sweet and Sad

It's been a wild month, what with the Mid-State Fair, and all the Farmer's Markets we are doing now. Dave has expanded into the Morro Bay Farmer's Market and in September will be doing the new Pismo Beach market! We're very excited about that!

This week, as an example, we had some very delightful customers:

• A woman came in saying her child loved the new small puppy, and had named him "Archie"!
• A couple with a one-week old newborn bought the big, pink Piggy for their new beautiful daughter
• A young man came in to get a large Pet for his girlfriend who was having a hard day
• A woman came in with her two girls, who had purchased two Pets at the Mid-State Fair and taken them camping with them. She needed the washing instructions again. I mentioned to her that some folks who go camping (or use the pillows regularly) sometimes put a pillow case over them, leaving the Pet's head out 'so they can breathe'. She loved that!

Those are just some of the sweet things happening in our world.

And, for me, today is sad for it's the 34th anniversay of my mom's death. That's a long time ago, AND, she would have LOVED that Dave and I are doing this business together and all the joy that is spread through these cute stuffed animal/pillows! So, I just send a hug of love to you, Mom, and wish you an ongoing delightful journey in spirit.
