August at LRobInspires: Celebrating National Dog Month and Happiness Happens Month
By Amy Benoff
Welcome to August at LRobInspires, where every day is filled with tail wags, belly rubs, and a whole lot of happiness. This month, we’re embracing National Dog Month and Happiness Happens Month by introducing you to the heart and soul of our Barketing Team. These furry companions aren’t just pets; they’re the driving force behind the joy and inspiration that fills our days. Get ready to meet the pawsome personalities who make our lives at LRobInspires brighter!

Zoey: The Tiny Dynamo
Meet Zoey, affectionately known as Piglet, our 11 lb. Yorkshire Terrier with a snort that’s as endearing as her love for food. Don’t let her size fool you—Zoey has a big personality packed into a tiny body. Whether she’s snuggling up for a cuddle or bravely barking at the biggest dog in the park, Zoey forgets she’s small and lives life large. She’s the definition of a cuddle bug, always ready to warm your lap and your heart.

Becca: The Gentle Guardian
Becca, or as we like to call her, Wiggle Butt, is the black-tri Australian Shepherd matriarch of the Robinson clan. She’s a no-nonsense leader who loves keeping the other dogs in line, but she’s also the first to offer a comforting hug when you need it most. Becca’s loyalty and steady presence make her the rock of our Barketing Team. She’s always there, offering a silent understanding and a calming energy that only she can provide.

Hudson: The Life of the Paw-ty
Hudson is the embodiment of boundless energy and infectious enthusiasm. As one of the original members of the Barketing Team, he’s been brightening our days from the start. Whether he’s making us laugh with his antics, shredding confidential documents (who needs a shredder when you have Hudson?), or simply reminding us to keep a pawsitive attitude, Hudson’s zest for life is a constant source of inspiration. He’s our giant puppy with a heart of gold.

Gracie: The Snow-Loving Snuggler
Gracie, with her gentle soul and love for cold weather, is the ultimate cuddle companion. She’s happiest when she’s taking up most of the bed or trotting through snowy landscapes, dreaming of a life up north. Gracie’s calm demeanor and endless love make her the perfect partner for quiet moments and long, reflective walks. If she had her way, we’d all be living in a cozy cabin somewhere in the mountains, and honestly, that doesn’t sound too bad.

Ginger: The Zoomie Queen
Ginger is a whirlwind of energy and fun, always ready to turn any situation into a game. Whether she’s throwing a ball to herself or zooming around the yard, Ginger’s playful spirit is contagious. She might be accused of being ‘too much,’ but in reality, she’s just enough—full of life and always ready for the next adventure. And when it’s time to rest, you’ll find her curled up, recharging for another day of joyful mischief.

Mabel: The Birthday Girl Extraordinaire
Mabel, who’s turning three this month, is the quirkiest, funniest, and most lovable pup you’ll ever meet. Whether she’s lounging on a boat, chasing Bubbles (both the soap and the cat variety), or showing off her dance moves, Mabel’s zest for life is unmatched. She’s a true adventurer, from road trips to Maine to cozy cuddles on the couch. Her presence at LRobInspires is nothing short of delightful, especially when she’s playfully sparring with her boyfriend, Hudson. Mabel’s joyful spirit brightens our days, making her an indispensable part of our team.

Lola: The Love Ambassador
Lola, the embodiment of unconditional love, is our family’s therapy dog. She’s always available for a belly rub, and if you forget, she’ll remind you with a gentle lean against your legs. Lola’s puppy dog eyes and goofy smile can melt even the hardest of hearts. Her presence is a reminder that love doesn’t need words—it’s all in the wag of a tail and the warmth of a cuddle.

Tatum: The Social Media Superstar
Tatum, with his big ears and even bigger heart, is the natural networker of our Barketing Team. He’s Ariel’s constant companion and social media muse, always ready to pose for the perfect shot. Whether he’s chasing rabbits, snuggling into a cinnamon bun shape, or simply looking adorable on the couch, Tatum’s charisma is undeniable. His shiny, ruby coat and fluffy ears make him a social media influencer in his own right, spreading happiness with every post.

Kleo: The Ageless Adventurer
At 15 and a half, Kleo is the epitome of aging gracefully. She’s still tackling five-mile walks with the enthusiasm of a pup and guarding her home with the vigilance of a seasoned protector. Kleo’s love for swimming and her playful spirit remind us that age is just a number. She’s an irreplaceable part of her family, and we’re all in awe of her enduring vitality and joy.

Bowie: The Smiling Sensation
If you’ve ever doubted that dogs can smile, one look at Bowie will change your mind. This joyful pup lights up any room with his ear-to-ear grin. While his energy has mellowed slightly with age, Bowie still brings a spark to every task, whether it’s playing with his fellow barketers or enjoying a well-earned nap. His happiness is infectious, and he reminds us all of the simple pleasures in life.

In Loving Memory of Sander: The Gentle Giant
We would be remiss if we didn’t honor the memory of our original Barketing member, Sander. Sander was a gentle giant who brought happiness to everyone he met. His special way of pressing his head into our laps for pets and scratches is something we all miss dearly. Sander’s calm, loving presence left an indelible mark on our hearts, and his legacy of joy and companionship continues to inspire us every day.

Our Barketing Team is more than just a group of dogs—they’re a source of joy, love, and endless inspiration. As we celebrate National Dog Month and Happiness Happens Month, we’re reminded of the simple, pure happiness that our furry friends bring into our lives. They teach us to live in the moment, to love unconditionally, and to find joy in the little things. Here’s to our Barketing Team and all the happiness they bring to LRobInspires!
