Six years ago this week, I lost my 💙 Arlo. I don’t need a calendar to remind me; my whole body seems to sink into mourning at this time of year. But shortly before that, my mom had adopted a new puppy, and nothing wipes away tears better than puppy licks. That experience led to the creation of Swanky Mutts. Loss is hard, but it creates a new space that reminds us we still have living to do. Special thanks to my husband, my mom and her sweet pup Rico (pictured), my clients, and as always to my sweet perfect Arlo for all you’ve done to make us Swanky.
