September 1, 2023 Memphis & Co. LLC became a legal entity. 4 short months later, I became fully self employed, jumping in the deep end of building something I had (and continue to) work so delicately, tirelessly, and effortlessly to build over the last decade plus some. Things have moved in warped speed during this journey and I can't believe we are at a two year milestone already! As we have approached this date, so many things have changed in such beautiful ways and this business has grown like I had never imagined - and for that, I'm so grateful. Since the beginning, we have moved locations to accommodate appropriate expansion and offer our dogs the most we can to allow them as much space and areas to explore and adventure. I have acquired three amazing employees - I don't know how I got so lucky to have them joining me on this journey. We've even recently had a youth apprentice who has been incredibly helpful and enjoys learning all the things that come with being engrossed in the dog world.
I often talk about how the universe works in such magnificent ways. One morning, while I was cleaning my facility, I was thinking about how fun it would be to have a youth program to mentor and educate the younger generation on the training and behavioral dog industry. Learning that there's more to it than "playing with dogs", but also learning the husbandry, body language and communication with animals, their needs, and instilling healthy habits and structures into their lives to help them live successfully. I wish this would've been a thing when I was young. Shortly after these thoughts, a client's child had asked if they could come out and help us in the shop - here was my opportunity to test those waters - and it's been such an enjoyable experience for me, and I think my employees, who also enjoy teaching and coaching children.
This was a bit of an unexpected path to pave in my business, but something I hope to grow as time goes on and as my children grow and see the benefits of the business and the dogs.
Additionally, we have some other really great plans in place and my impulsivity is struggling to chill while I apply all of these new pieces in their right places.
As we've come this far, I truly can't thank every single one of you enough for being here with me, for me, supporting my business whether you're a regular client or sharing what we can offer with others in the community. I'm so grateful for you all.
I am also so blessed to be as actively involved as I possibly can with Green County Humane Society and helping with dogs who may need a little extra assistance to finding their most suitable homes. With that, I'd like to donate $2 of every sale in September towards the Humane Society!
We will also offer a $200 discount for every training program booked during the month of September!
