If 2020 had a mascot it might very well be this dog. This year arrived with a bang and just keeps on giving. We’ve come through the threat of murder hornets, moved an entire business in one week and are still dealing with daily issues of the move, and are working/living in a time of a pandemic that has made social distancing and working differently the norm. August brought us a time of great social unrest in our city adding to the stress and anxiety that we were already experiencing. We watched fearfully as portions of our city burned and […]
