July Update – Dog Days of Summer
Monday, July 19th, 2010
Welcome to the Dog Days of Summer! Brandy and Val are enjoying their ice cream to beat the heat and we hope you are having your own “fun in the sun.” Our big news is that Brandy and Val, LLC just celebrated its’ first anniversary. We are very proud of our accomplishments this year in “doing good where good is needed.” To name a few, the following charities have benefited from the sales of our products: Best Friends Animal Sanctuary; Pets Alive Animal Sanctuary; Prader-Willi Association; Cabrini Connections Tutor-Mentor Connection and, of course, Fortunate Pooches and Lab Rescue, where Brandy and Val were adopted from! So, a big thanks to all of you who have supported us throughout our first year and who helped make this possible.
Continuing to make news with our fabulously fun books and toys for tots, we appeared this past month in PET PRODUCT NEWS and NATURAL DOG. If a child you know doesn’t have one of our books or toys yet, order one now as they make great diversions for the kids while on car rides, at the beach or anywhere toddlers become restless, in other words, EVERYWHERE!
We would LOVE for you to comment and suggest stories for our blog, “What We are Barking About” and don’t forget you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter, too. Also, look out for our article in the September edition of Women’s World magazine. I hear it will be on newsstands in mid-August.
In closing out the month, Brandy and Val also want to say thanks to the Center for Independence Camp for allowing us to read to and work with your special children. We hope that through our pet therapy duties, we can enhance the lives of children in some positive way! Please contact us at info@BrandyandVal.com if you would like Brandy and Val to visit a school, library or children’s program in the Chicago area.
Enjoy the rest of the summer. As always, thanks for your support,
