I farm the community I live in. A big part of that is I walk it everyday with my dog, a beautiful big black great dane. We talk to every one, she draws a crowd and she loves the attention. Well, a couple days ago she had a mild stroke during our walk. She became wabbly and wouldn't move. We were only a block away, I couldn't carry home a 150 lb dog in distress. About 10 minutes went by before a neighbor drove by and seen the dog and I. He stoped and offtered to go to my house and get my spouse and the truck. In minutes we had her loaded and she is reovering well now.
Word about this has spread like wild fire. Everyone knows, and people I haven't even talked to have stopped and asked about her. She is the star of Rucker Hill in Everett. Of course it would be in bad tast to hand out my cards in a time like this.
The point of this is for all the marketing stuff I do that I think goes straight to the garbage probably does. What got noticed is the true and honest love for my best friend and pet. And I really do like to walk and talk, it's not just a put on.
Just a note, her name is Flash, Gordon is no longer with us.
