From a heartfelt look at the way we navigate through grief to a look at how BarkBox began, here’s my favorite dog articles of the week. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
Favorite Dog Articles of the Week
I’m not going to write descriptions on these first two posts – I tried but my words couldn’t even come close to the sentiment I wanted to convey. Words from an outsider can’t do justice to the feelings they contain. And just to warn you they’re both tearjerkers, so you may not want to read them at work, and you’ll probably want to have a couple of tissues nearby.

Interesting behind the scenes look at how BarkBox began.
We only hire dog people, but that doesn’t mean they have to have a dog. About 90 percent of our employees do, and the ratio of people to dogs is about even. Having dogs forces us to find balance in our workdays.
Thank you so much for including my post. Really not good with words these days. As I told a friend: I have no words. Lots of tears, but the words fail me.
Your post was beautifully written, and I’m so glad you shared it.
Great articles! Thanks!
