My mom Cathy has been really busy. She’s involved with a big JV promotion<\/a> and setting up more calls for her teleseminar series<\/a>. (Ever the promoter, my mom insisted we add those links. If it were up to me, we’d link only to dog parks and treats.)<\/p>\n

If only she’d just toss in a few bites of her own dinner…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
