Launching a business! Announcing Grey Wolf Pet Gear!

Grey Wolf Pet Gear

Yes, friends and family, this is what has been keeping me busy these past few months.  As you may or may not know, I have now been on a sabbatical from my other work life for coming up on 2 years. As we have been exploring options, G and I have been toying around with the idea of starting something, like a business.

It has been quite the experience learning about how to sell a product, but I am very excited to announce that we now have our first item for sale on Amazon! Here is the link to it:  Grey Wolf Dog Leash


And why are we starting with a dog leash? G has been volunteering at Austin Pet's Alive! for some time now, getting his dog fix in since big L is allergic. Let's say that the quality of the leashes that everyone there has to use day in day out, left something to be desired,  so that's where we started.

This is what it looks like up close:

I am hoping that we can grow this, I quite fancy myself as a bit of a mogul (if you can be just a bit of a mogul), but one step at a time. (Does this count as #22 on my list of 50?  If this goes well, we will certainly consider expanding. We will be donating a percentage of our profits to no-kill shelters because they do tremendous work to save at risk animals.

So if you are in the market for a dog leash, buy Grey Wolf Dog Leash.

If you would like to send us comments (including encouragement) or ask questions you may leave them here on my blog or email GreyWolfPetGear@gmail.com.

Off on another adventure!

Fitness Photo Shoot

Fitness after stage III breast cancer Plank on ball in silhouette Why a fitness shoot? I am not a fitness model, nor am I ripped like one, but I wanted to do a fitness shoot for a few different reasons: 1. As a reminder of how far I have come At the 5-year anniversary of my diagnosis of stage III breast cancer, it seemed a good time to remind myself how far I have come since I went through the trauma of diagnosis and treatment. That no matter how low I felt at the time, I came through it. Not all my sisters made it and many are still struggling today (shout out to my IV-leagers - those living with stage IV,  EVERY DAY). 2. As a reminder of how much the body can do It is a moment for me to acknowledge that while there are things I still cannot do, there are things I could not do when I first started lifting weights, that I can do now and THAT is amazing to me. When I first started weight lifting maybe I could do shoulder presses with 7.5 lbs, now I can do more t...

What is your 'bread & butter' conversation?

I am anxious to get back to the playgroups with my Moms group, and talk with some of the other moms because I want to know what they talk to their husbands about at the end of the day. If I were to truly tell my husband what goes on with my day? Well, the conversation would be inane and irrelevant. Gunnar: "How was your day honey?" Big smile. Me: "You know the usual. Lucas got up late this morning and was crabby because he didn't have enough time to play before breakfast and Liam pulled off my tiny earring, you know, the one I was so excited about getting because I thought he wouldn't notice it, and I could wear earrings again? Anyways, he pulled it off, and I grabbed it from him and set it down so I could deal with him appropriately, and I forgot about it, but when I went back to look for it I couldn't find it. It might have gotten wiped off the table when I was cleaning, so I spent part of the day sifting through the garbage looking for it, then I looked ...

Job Search2: Networking etiquette..

On which I have a few ideas.  As my husband keeps telling me, I won't get a job by spending hours in front of the computer submitting applications to online job postings.  The best use of any job-seeker's time is spent talking to friends and acquaintances and letting them know that you are looking for a job and what your skills and interests are. So here is what I found tricky about networking: How hard to push?  Working parents are busy, so if I asked a friend, who is a working parent, about a position I had seen at their company, do I ask a second time? How soon after? And what if there is another position - do I talk about that too?  If that friend is very enthusiastic about getting more information for me on a post then I hear nothing, what then?  Is it realistic to think they'll get back to me?  I find it difficult to broach the topic again.  I might ask a second time but for me there is no third time. What do I trade in return? In the net...
