Just like that, the holidays are here! Scout and I always loved the holidays. It was our favorite time to give back. I’ll miss doing our Scout Hugs Venmo challenge this year, but will still search for ways to spread kindness! I’m so very grateful that Archie has come into my life, thanks to Scout. This will be his very first Christmas with our family, and I intend to spoil the heck out of him.
In today’s blog, I’ve rounded up some of our absolute favorite #pawtasticpicks for holiday gifts for dogs, dog lovers and dogs who travel. Let us take the guess work out of gift-giving this season! This is my gift to you! Whether you’re on a budget or looking to spoil your pup, I’ve got you covered!
