Five Things You May Not Know About Mary

March 31, 2021 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

Floofins & Co.

Sure, you know that the Floofins staff you interact with LOVE your pet, but have you ever wondered… Is there more to this super-duper, pet-loving person?

To that, we say, YES!

Your Floofins are like family and we want to give you a more rounded picture of our great staff members. So, we dug a little deeper into their psyches to get you the kind of information only Floofins & Co. can provide.

The staff member we are highlighting this month is Mary. She is a Pet Care Specialist and covers the Lombard, Glen Ellyn, Villa Park, Carol Stream, Bloomingdale, and Elmhurst (for vacation care) areas.

If you could ask your pet one question, what would it be? “ I have 3 dogs and I always ask them, “Can’t you all go outside at the same time just once? Basically, I’m a doorman a lot!”

What is the funniest thing you’ve seen a stranger do? “Someone was jumping on a trampoline and when they jumped up, their shorts fell down.” 

What is your pet peeve? “Being late.” 

What is the best advice you’ve received? “Be polite.”

What would be your spirit animal? “Bear.”

So, when Thanksgiving rolls around, and we as a country pause to count the blessings of our comfortable lives, I probably name off the same general things everyone else does: family, friends, and the abundances in my life. 

But, I gave it some thought and have to admit that I’m not going to do that this year.  This year, I’m giving thanks for the gift of challenging pets.

Everyone who sees my dog, Ginger, tells me how sweet, cute, well-behaved, or any other variety of complimentary adjectives she is. And the pictures of her on social media are along the same ilk. But, you don’t see the moments that try my patience (of which, I will admit, I have very little to being with): [Read more…] about Giving Thanks For Challenging Pets
