A few thoughts this holiday season.

For many it’s a joyous time of year — for others, it’s a painful reminder.

But pain can lead to perseverance, which leads to character, which leads to hope.

So, we want you to have a joyous holiday season!

But if you don’t, we want you to at least have a hopeful one 😊❤️

Oh, and just a reminder…

Ok, we’re thinking of creating a special Mobile Rundown discount card.

Think new joints and cool local spots — 10% off at 10-20 places during 2025 for $20.

But we want your input!

Do you want one? `

Please vote below (let us know what local business you’d like to see included!)

Also, based on the results, most of you are down for a Coffee Chat ☕ with others in the Rundown community.

We’ll plan this event in early 2025 — look forward to connecting!

Veterinary costs up 60% over the past decade

Pet insurance could help you offset some of these rising costs, with some providing up to 90% reimbursement.
