Good Morning, Peeps πŸ‘‹!

Welcome to Wednesday. I hope you’re enjoying the cleaner format. Speaking of clean, it’s going to be a wet day 🌧️. Make sure to put that towel by the door for those wet puppy feet 🐾.

Today is a great day to get involved in the community, especially if you like pizza. Keep reading and I’ll tell you all about it. Ciao for now.
