In the blink of an eye, we’ve already completed one full year since launching Peony Celeste!
I’m incredibly grateful for all the love, feedback, and support we’ve received from our wonderful community, business partners, and especially the pups who’ve changed our lives forever. Through hard work and dedication, the positive responses have poured in from every direction, and every single comment means more than a dog world to us.
We have got into a few events earlier in May that I didn’t get a chance to share in advance. We still have several more community events coming up, and there’s still time to sign up and join our partners!
