a surge of gratitude for every single one of my fans!

Yesterday was totally epic! I got to hang out with my amazing fans, and it was such a vibe. It was Emma's second to last day of school, and you know what that means—pet parade day! I wasn't in the parade myself (obviously, that would be too much competition), but just being there with my camera was enough to light up the whole event.

As I switched on my camera, the energy was electric. "We love you, Peanut!" they cheered, and it felt like a warm hug. One of my fans, now rocking 10th grade, came up to me with the biggest smile, saying, "I still have your fan club card from 8th grade!" Talk about nostalgia! It hit me right in the feels and reminded me of how far I've come and all the awesome connections I've made.

Sometimes it hits me—how far I’ve come. From scrappy snack-seeker to certified icon. And through it all, you, my fans, have stuck with me. I see you. I appreciate you. You keep my tail wagging.
