Hi Houston! It's been way too long since I've had a dog to hang out with, and honestly... I'm not doing great. I was promised the sweetest little pup to watch until October, but those plans fell through after I only had her for a week. She was ripped from my arms, and now my apartment feels painfully quiet. If you happen to know of a hypoallergenic rescue looking for a home, please send them my way because my allergies are tragic and my heart is empty.

Speaking of dogs I desperately want to be around, we're giving away a $399 birthday party package to Zoomies Dog Park! Whether you're celebrating your pup's big day or just looking for an excuse to throw the cutest party ever, enter to win.
