Aside from
the fact that we LOVE all things cute, cuddly, and canine; supporting friends
and small business is dear to our hearts. One of the visions for this blog is
to honestly get to know our readers and support them.
The body
shop we’ve referenced on occasion is much more to us than just our last place
of employment. Alpine Body Shop is our family owned and operated business for
over 30years. I (the girl human) grew up there.

I remember
putting our handprints in the concrete as the foundation was poured for the
office. As I grew, so did my parents business. Anyone with self-employed parents
can probably attest to the ownership and satisfaction we to take part in as a
family.
Without
writing an entire novel on the life of a child of self-starters, I’ll sum
things up by saying that supporting local and small business means a lot to me.
You might be
wondering what has to do with the Particular Puppy? We’ve been fortunate enough to become
acquainted with numerous small businesses through our dog community. We’ve
often been able to give input and discuss with friends as they begin the journey
of starting their own business.
As I watch
and encourage those whom I’ve grown to care about, I realized that the
community we’re a part of is a special one. We do so much more than post photos
and “like” to display our support. We have evolved to become a different kind
of family. We rejoice together in personal achievements, reaching milestones,
birthdays are celebrated, losses are mourned and sorrow felt more deeply than I
would have ever imagined. We share our dogmas…and this has been done through
our dogs.
As humans we’ve
created unique bonds through the act of displaying and sharing our animals’
lives.
That’s an
amazing thing! We share so much together.
I realized
that we know a lot about each other through the eyes of our beloved pets, but
we don’t know the human behind it all on a personal level.
I think we
can do so much more together by learning about the friends we’ve inadvertently
made through our pets.
I’m excited
to get to know the professions we have represented. It would be a dream come
true to work with you professionally, brought together by our mutual passion!
I’m excited
to show off the talents you have to offer, support you in your business
endeavors, and simply get to know who you are as a person, not just
the human behind the dogs we love.
Feature
articles are underway. Send us an email to be in a feature post, we’d love the
chance!
