You Gotta Have Heart

 How many times when you were goin’ downtown have you noticed that Mill Valley is goin’ to the dogs, or most assuredly has gone to the dogs? I walk my perfect puppy Leo there several times a week and he has a plethora, abundance, cornucopia of dog bowls to choose drinking (bottled, pure spring, organic?) water from. Practically every business has a water bowl of varying shapes and sizes to pamper our pets. So when I asked my new manager Andy where our dog bowl was, he said, "We've been talking about getting one for a while." When I asked my new office mates why there was no bowl they said, "Because we can't decide on which one to get."

Seeing as there are endless options, I decided that if we are going to treat Leo and all the other dogs to a water bowl, I needed to take matters into my own hands. But it couldn't be just any dog bowl - it need to be the right one for our office. So what kind of bowl would give off just the right vibe...? Well, Frank Howard Allen's motto is "Love where you live." My motto is "Specializing in the Heart of Marin," my license plate has a heart on it, February is Heart Awareness Month, and it's Valentine's Day. Seemed like a no brainer to me.

As luck would have it, while walking through Target the perfect bowl, or I should say bowls, jumped into my hands. There was a set of three heart shaped plastic nesting bowls! What a coup! The big red one now has fresh water (sorry just tap) every day outside our office door. And inside, the other two bowls have dogie treats and people treats (chocolate Hershey Kisses). So, whenever you are passing by, with or without your dog, feel free to stop in for a treat.
