GRATITUDE IS THE NEW ATTITUDE

Gratitude is the

Our dogs can teach us so much about life; like how to live in the moment and be grateful for every little treat. And, that is especially true during the holidays!

I wasn’t raised with the practice of saying Grace before eating, it is something I picked up last year. During the times of a global pandemic, and food scarcity, it made me realize just how blessed we are for simply being healthy, and having a fridge full of goodies. Having loving pets by our side during these difficult times was a huge bonus! Dogs make the best quarantine buddies.

Indeed, it's so easy to take our blessings for granted, and practicing Grace is one way to practice gratitude on the daily. This simple practice has allowed me to become more present in my life, and more aware of life’s little miracles.

The word "grace" comes from the Latin words "gratiarum actio" which means "act of thanks". To say Grace is to offer thanksgiving.

This Thanksgiving season, we have a lot to be thankful for. As we celebrate our 2 year anniversary, we feel so blessed that we get to do what we love on daily basis, and bring smiles to people's faces.

For this issue, we sat down with Shannon, the mamager of GGCREW, who is also celebrating her 5K milestone on Instagram, this month, and who had also expressed the importance of having an attitude of gratitude.

New Attitude!

"If we lived from this perspective, instead of wanting more, all the time... more followers, more likes, more clothes, more things to have... and just be grateful for what we have, we'd be so much happier." explains Shannon.

Shannon revealed that she didn't want to get any dogs, at first. She had lost her family dog when she was 25 and the idea of getting another dog sounded too painful to bear. But, her daughter, Grace, kept asking for one. And that's where the story of GGCREW begins...

"We came together in less than 1 year. COVID-19 may have taken away our freedom and liberties that we had taken for granted, but it had also blessed our family of 4, with 4 beautiful Franchies— Gucci, Gio Versace, Tiny Diamond and Saint. Our pups brought lots of joy into our home, and they also gave me and my daughter, a new passion for dog fashion.

We started an Instagram page for them simply because we were taking photos and videos of them on the daily, and needed an outlet to share them. And, that’s when we discovered modeling talent in our crew— Gucci and Saint are natural in front of the camera; they just know what to do, and are almost always ready to strike a pose!

We are so grateful to be featured in DOGUE this month, for our followers, and supporters. We are also very excited about our new collaboration with Frechconn. Together, we have curated 4 Glam Collars for the Holidays called the Fashion House."

On behalf of the DOGUE team, and the GGCREW, we would like to wish everyone a happy, and healthy Thanksgiving. May you make your pies, and eat them too... right after Grace.
