📣 A Bittersweet Goodbye ❤️🐴🐔🐶
Today is my last day as a Purina Lifestyle Product Specialist with Purina Animal Nutrition and Allied Cooperative.
To say this job has been meaningful is an understatement. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside so many of you as not just a feed specialist, but as a partner in your barns, your pastures, and your lives. Your animals became my priority, your trust became my motivation, and so many of you became more like friends — even family.
Stepping away isn’t easy. But right now, my own little herd needs me most — especially our daughter Charlotte. I’ve been given the incredible gift of staying home with her while my husband returns to work, and while that means saying goodbye (for now), it also means saying thank you.
Thank you for the laughs in the barn aisles, the early morning texts, the late-night ration changes, and for trusting me with your animals’ wellbeing. I’ll carry those memories (and your critters!) with me always.
🐾 Still need help? Don’t worry — Allied Coop has an incredible team ready to support you:
📍Seymour Location – (920) 833-6135
📍Auburndale Location – (715) 652-2363
📍Central Wisconsin Country Store – (715) 387-1045
✨And while today is goodbye in this role… it’s definitely not goodbye forever. I’m not done with Purina — not even close. I’ve got something exciting brewing closer to home, and I hope you’ll stay tuned. If we’ve worked together and you’d like to stay in touch, feel free to add me personally. Let’s keep the connection going — because the best chapters often follow the hardest goodbyes.
With a full heart,
Bridget Vandertie
