I think it’s essential that you guys carve out some time to do other stuff that is exciting to you (and me honestly). Think of it as delegation to support expansion. And I LOVE your nonhuman stories and photos. I Look forward to them. So onwards and upwards!

You make a very good case for fulfillment and, if you do, I know you will find the perfect partner. Hopefully it will free you and Lori up to spread even more kindness. I think all of us elders have an important job to do in that regard, especially now. It’s time to shift into that role and create the legacy you desire. šŸ™šŸ»

Good wonderful morning. I love the idea of u taking time to do more for yourselves and take care of us. I also can't wait to read all u write and then get to the section of photos of your fur babies.

Just so u know, my cat Lyra Skye first thing every morning when I let him out of his kennel(his safe place for the night since kittenhood), RUNS straight for your cat grass I buy. It is so adorable. You'd think he was starving the way he flys into the kitchen to eat it. LOL

I love your emails and being 75 I completely understand. We are at a time that machines can take the hard labor off of us and we deserve the help. We have 2 cats and always enjoy the pictures of your fuzzy babies. They give so much love they really brighten our lives! It’s time to slip into the stage that you have time to slow down and enjoy your time with your wife and family.

I love the happy faces from the schlepping dept, but you guys deserve to move on and let others do the packing and shipping. I also love seeing all the pets pics. You've grown such a great business, you should reap the benefits of that and ENJOY yourselves now!

It felt bittersweet to read all that as I'm a little sad we won't see those winged providers of love smile faces. But I also felt like you absolutely deserve to relax a bit and do other things with your time. Thank you for always providing such a wonderful shopping experience ā¤ļø

I think you are throwing a wonderful opportunity out into the universe -- can't wait to see who feels the pull to carry on what you've started. There are so many people looking for meaning in their work now. At our house we say, "Always be optimistic (unless it makes you stupid). At 78, I appreciate the sense of urgency about reaching other goals now. Sending best hopes!
