Monday, July 28, 2025Pet of The Week: Butter (7/28/2025)
PET OF THE WEEKButter is ready to spring into your life and be the center of your world! Just like his namesake, Butter is soft, golden, and irresistibly squishable.

When someone opens a package from a small business, there’s a brief but powerful moment where impressions are made. It’s more than tissue paper or twine. It’s a feeling, and it hits fast. Maybe it’s the scent of lavender tucked in with a handmade candle, or a thank-you note in handwriting that leans a little to the left.
