Our very first #pupcrawl! We found all little treasures, greeted fire trucks, and got back to our favorite store for a pupcup! And got a new #toy, #treats and lots of affection. Thank you to @crateescapetoo and @crateescapewalden for organizing a day of fun, games and making new friends! 🐾🐾

A life lesson from Lily, one of the National Marine Life Center's little #seal patients: if you don't make it the first time, try and then try again! #Persistence brings #success.
