BrindleBerry Acres

Got 3/7 rows planted.

Ron is starting zucchini, butternut squash, pumpkin and Chinese melon for me indoors so those will take up lots of space.

Dare I try tomatoes again?? I fail every single year at tomatoes!! 🍅

Happy Mother’s Day!

To celebrate, Ron and I went out after work and picked up chicks! 🐥

Hey You!

As you all know, Ron and I sold our Legacy Tail Blazers location so I could focus on my health, find some balance, and put more energy into our Tail Blazers Copperfield store. It was the right call, even if it wasn't an easy one.

This past year has been about working on both my mental and physical health and somewhere in that stillness I figured something out: I need to create. I always have. And I've missed it more than I expected.

So, BrindleBerry Acres is coming back — gradually, and with intention. The focus will be on three things I care deeply about: body, mind, and bowl. Your dog's physical health, mental wellbeing, and what goes in their dish.

It's the same passion that drove everything I did before, just with a clearer framework and honestly, a clearer version of me behind it.

I'm planning to start blogging again, and I'm hoping to release my first ebook soon (written with Ron's help)! And, down the road, if all goes well, I'm also hoping to offer dog nutrition consults — because sometimes you just need someone to look at your dog's specific situation and help you figure out where to start.

If time permits, The Everything Pup Podcast will be coming back too — but one step at a time. I don't want to get ahead of myself, or put myself back into the state I was in 6 months ago!

I've started up my email list again, so if you're interested in signing up, you can visit the link in the comments - and I'll send you a FREE Kong stuffing recipe guide too.

I've also been tidying up the website if you want to go take a peek (also in the comments). We need to tell Google it exists again as it's all dried up ATM.

That's it for now! Let me know in the comments if there's anything you'd like to see a blog post, podcast, or ebook about!
