Guess what we’re doing today? It’s finally time for the announcement everyone waits for all year long—our 2025 Christmas and Holiday Card Exchange! This is our 12th year doing this with the Pawdience, and I’m so excited (but also begging you) to please watch the whole video, because the instructions are what help us stay organized and give you the best chance of getting a card back from us. That’s kind of the point of a card exchange, isn’t it? In this video I walk you through every step: where to mail your card (PO Box 12 in Alpena, Michigan), why it needs to be postmarked by December 31st, and why printing your return address (no cursive!) is the most important part. I also cover correct postage, packaging boxes so the post office doesn’t “toss it like a football,” and how we handle international cards. Plus, I answer the big questions—yes you can send gifts (but you don’t have to), yes you can donate to shelters we love, and please don’t send glitter… unless you tape it down first. Life is short, make memories with your dogs, and let’s celebrate this season together.
