It all started with a tweet alert:
And I squealed! Loudly. Probably loud enough for our neighbors to hear. Winning BOP never looses it’s charm. When it was made official three weeks ago, that squeal was so loud that I was worried our neighbors would freak out. I actually posted on my personal Facebook page - “We just got good news. Sorry for the squeal neighbors.”
Being awarded “Best of Philly” (Best Dog Walkers) by Philadelphia magazine, brings us to our third BOP award. It’s always wonderful to get media attention and “best” titles, but Best of Philly is THE award in Philadelphia. We now have 2006, 2009 and 2013 under our belts (or collars?) The first time we won, Lindsay and I were absolutely floored with shock. We had only been in business for a year and it was just the two of us. Apparently word of our reputation “got around.” And by our third award, we’re still just as giddy as we were back in 2006. (On another note – where on earth did seven years go?)
A company is only as good as the employees that represent them. We are so proud of our crew right now and excited to share this with them. In a few weeks we’ll be either taking the Minders to the ballpark to see the Phillies play OR doing a craft night in which we’ll be making monster masks while drinking champagne in celebration of the award. (The Minders are split between baseball and glue-gun crafty madness.)
Thanks to all of you out there who have believed in us and trusted us with your monsters and your home. Looking forward to living up to the honor, “Best of Philly.”
