Okay, so blogging is not as easy as I thought it was going to be

I really thought that I would be much better with this blogging thing, but as it turns out, its time consuming, and time is short when you are starting a new business. We just got our calendar in sinc to do street fairs, festivals, pet expos, and wholesale pet trade shows. Its really exciting finding something that you are passionate about and going the distance to make your dreams come true. Even the grunt work (ie: the many hours of research, the cooking of recipes, and the filling of bottles, and many more things that would take too long to list) I've become passionate about. It's amazing the difference in one's attitude when they do something they are passionate about.

I was raised in the sportfishing community which is something I do enjoy. I still work for my parents and I thoroughly enjoy the fishing season and the customers who come with it. One of the highlights of the year for me is working the Fred Hall Fishing, Sport, and Boat Show in Long Beach California. But, I've come to find out that there is a big difference between enjoying something and being passionate about something. All I think about is what ingredients I can put in my next product that is all natural and good for pets. I want to make a difference! My true passion has always been animals. Now don't get me wrong, even though my family might argue with me on this, my human children and my husband definitely come first, and that is how God meant it to be. But, I was one of those people that he gave the gift of wanting to care for His 4 legged creations.

Gracie's Miracle Breath and Tooth Decay Spray is a relatively new product out on the market. So, although there has been plenty of testing beforehand, the public is just now getting started in on using it. I got my first testimonial from a lady who was at the Pet Expo in Orange County, and after one week she's had tremendous results. I can't tell you the feeling you get when someone else, who doesn't have personal ties with you, believes in something that you believe in. That, honestly, made my week.

We did the Orange County Pet Expo a couple of weeks ago and it turned out to be a successful one for us, as far as getting our name out there. Tomorrow we are going to give Scripps Ranch Farmer's Market a try. The only drawbacks that I can see is that I have to wake up at 6 am and there is a lot of set up for only four hours of having a booth up. This is a learning experience for both me and my friend, Christi, with Pure Country Pet Boutique. We've kind of teamed up when doing shows because we work well together and our products go well together. This is new for her, in the fact, that she's not done too many retail shows or events. The main reason is because she does mostly wholesale. She is starting up the retail side of her business for her daughter, Taylor, to take over, because Taylor is just a natural for that aspect of her business. I'm really looking forward to this Farmer's Market because it will be a training experience for us. But the real fun is going to the be the wholesale shows. I can't wait!!!!!!!

Well, I'm going to sign off for now, because there is entirely too much fun going on around me and blogging is almost impossible to do under those circumstances. Ok, so I will really, really, really try to post another blog in the next couple of days for those who are actually looking for the next one.
