Well, those frugal ants still haven’t brought me any garnet, but anyway… find out a method that used to be used to identify a dog before microchips became a thing. Then prepare for Sassy Max’s attitude by whipping up a delicious human recipe to endulge. Oh, and don’t forget to submit your dog costume photos and vote for your favorite! Don’t worry, Sassy Max isn’t a contestant, which is good because he can’t take the truth sometimes. Until next time, I raise my glass of pumpkin frothy goodness to ya.

Your Dog's Nose Knows
To identify a dog, its microchip is one of the best, if not the best, method. With that said, let's have a bit of fun exploring the uniqueness of a dog's nose because that used to be a method to identify a dog. Your dog's nose is one of a kind, formed randomly. Of course it's a sniffing machine, but it's also like a "fingerprint" in a sense. Each dog's nose is different by its unique intricate ridges, bumps, and patterns, alongside the genetic makeup of the structure and texture of the nose pad.
So, the next time your lil furry babe is being nosy, perhaps your dog is just showing off the unique personalized stamp. And the next time your dog rubs its nose all over the window that you clean twenty times a week, perhaps your dog is just leaving you some artwork.
When I lost my pet insurance due to a job change, I nearly panicked. Spot Pet Insurance is a great place to check rates and coverage. Please support our Sponsor, who keeps Fido Fly free for everyone, while also protecting your pet.

Feast On This
Whip Up Your Fall Coffee Fantasy
Craving a yummy fall coffee with a twist? Try this (human recipe).
Ingredients:
Instant coffee or espresso
Sweet, sweet sugar
Pumpkin spice (because, fall vibes)
Boiling water (ouch, hot!)
Milk (whatever floats your latte—dairy, nut, seed!)
Pumpkin puree (for that creamy goodness)
How to Brew the Magic:
Whip It: Mix coffee, sugar, pumpkin spice, and hot water in a bowl. Beat until it’s looking fluffy and cloud-like—3-4 minutes should do it.
Spice It: In a glass, pour 16 oz of milk (steamed or chilled). Stir in pumpkin puree until smooth.
Build It: Pour the milk into two glasses over ice or steam. Spoon half of the fluffy whip into each glass.
Top It: Dust with pumpkin spice on top.
Devour It: Grab a straw, mix it up, and enjoy your fall-in-a-glass drink!
If you have a yummy fall recipe you'd like to share, please send it to us at [email protected] and it may be featured in one of our newsletters.
Rough perspective, historical revelation, and well-rounded kicks
Perspective: Anyone else relate?
Past, Present, Future: Now it’s all about the bacon apparently
Jump: I guess modern day kicks

We LOVE Halloween!

Do you need inspiration to find the paw-fect costume?
We spent the past few weeks evaluating over 10,000 items on Amazon to find the coolest Halloween stuff this year. To save you from having to spend that much time, we compiled our absolute favorites in a free Halloween eCatalog.
It’s crazy that some items are already selling out of inventory so if you love Halloween as much as we do, now is a good time to browse for something new.
Happy Halloween

Does travel make you happy?
We love to travel and have so many happy memories. We share our hard-earned wisdom along with tips from pros in a newsletter called Espresso Boarding.
Next week we go to Vegas! This is not the same city it was 5 years ago. It will be so much fun to skydive, spa, hike, and zoom zoom our way through the city.
Experience the beauty of travel without drama.

The fib is A. The temperature or moisture of a dog’s nose isn’t an accurate indicator of health. Dogs’ noses can vary in wetness and warmth due to many factors, like sleep or weather changes. A dry nose alone doesn’t mean a dog is unwell.
