A couple years ago, the most magical thing happened. I was sitting outside at a beautiful outdoor pub on a temperate Vermont summer night. I had a huge burger and a delicious cider. That was already magical.

But THEN.

A truck backed up with the bed facing the dining area. The driver walked out, let down the cabβ€”and it was a freaking truck bed full of golden retriever puppies.

You wanna see a whole bunch of humans lose their minds at once? Show up unannounced with golden. retriever. puppies.

After a few minutes, the floofy puppies bid their last slobbery goodbyes. The driver closed the truck bed and slowly pulled away.

And that is how I found out that a farm filled with golden retriever puppies in Vermont is a real thing.

OH MY GOD!!! This story! I was riveted while reading this, lol. It must've been the actual couple who owns the farm, because who else would have a truck full of golden retriever puppies? You were right - that IS the most magical thing. A burger, a cider, and a bunch of golden retriever puppies? OMG sounds like a DREAM. πŸ’—

You’re exactly rightβ€”a dream!!! My bf and I looked at each other after and all we could say was, β€œWtf just happened?” But in the most delightful way. Thanks for sparking that memory for me!

Those etiquette rules are so funny to me, a woman who definitely does not wash her bras often enough.

And I read that Queer Eye article earlier this week and have been super bummed out about it. It's not that I'm sad they aren't friends in real life - that was clear to me long ago - but that so many people confirmed JVN is really awful to work with! I've always loved them.

My bf asked me last night how often I wash my bras and I was like: Silence. Every 2-3 wears seems crazy to me! RE: JVN - I KNOW! And it seemed every 'source' was saying the same thing: angry, yells, etc., which means there has to be some truth to it? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Such a bummer!
