I don't post here often but I read all your stories. I've learned so much and cried and laughed and anyway, I hate doing this but I have a big favor to ask. There is a small business contest going on, if our store gets 250 votes we can move to the next round which is one round closer to winning some money. I'm sorry to ask. I know you don't know me very well because I am quiet but my chihuahuas, Charlie and Violet, go to work with us every day. Charlie has brought so much joy to so many people that come into our store. We've tried to help out everyone we've been able to, employees who've been in a bind, dog rescues, even giving candy/spices/tea to customers when they've hit a rough spot and couldn't afford on their own for themselves or to give as gifts. Trouble is, we tend to do this quietly. My husband this week said he's tired, money is tight, we work 80 hours a week, deal with so much that if we were cold hearted we wouldn't even be bothered by. He said 'why are we doing this, no one ever does the same for us' and I pointed out to him that one of the reasons we do it and do it quietly is because it's the right thing to do.
I don't expect us to get 250 votes, or to win any money. I just would like to cheer him up a little with getting a few more votes than our handful of facebook friends can. Please, I'm sorry to bother you all and ask this but one thing I've learned is that Chihuahua people are amazing, wonderful folk, even for dog people. I hope you all can forgive me for being such a brat and asking so much and please accept my deepest thanks for voting if you can. The link is here: https://www.missionsmallbusiness.com Pa Dutch Tea & Spice Company Is our store. You can find it by that name or search by state, Virginia, and the town is Fredericksburg we're on the third page. Thanks again so much. Sarah, mommy to Charlie the wonder Chi and Violet the blue merle princess of doom.
