Edit: Ordering deadline EXTENDED to 10/18!

Just a little Dear Dogs update for you... I'm so obsessed with how these are turning out and I can't waaaaiit to share them with you!

We're closing in on $17,000 raised for Little Traverse Bay Humane Society, and every book order between now and October 11th brings us even closer.

Pre-orders close on Sunday. After that, the ordering window closes and copies aren't guaranteed. If you've been thinking about it, now is the time - this is a limited print run and I want to make sure you get your copy.

All proceeds from every single copy sold goes directly to LTBHS and the animals in their care.

Link below to order yours before October 11th!

Meet Whinnie... our October calendar dog! 🐾

Whinnie is a golden who looks more serious than she really is. She's actually a big sweetheart who loves to carry things in her mouth - especially sticks on a walk!

Every vote for Whinnie helped raise funds for Cherryland Humane Society. So glad she gets her moment this month!

This cutie turned 8 at the end of August but I’m bad at social media so I didn’t properly celebrate him! So… happy belated birthday to my best boy Noodle. Can’t believe you’re already 8. Someone stop the clock already. 🥲
