At a SongwritingWith:Soldiers retreat, openness, authentic listening, and connection create space for stories to be shared and heard.

Sometimes, those stories become songs.

August is Veterans Appreciation Month.

Not just a day. Not just a ceremony. A whole month to slow down, listen, and remember that the people who served this country are still here — still carrying what they brought home, still looking for the words to describe it.

That’s the work we show up for every single day. And this month, we’re grateful for every person who shows up with us.

Wow! Huge thanks to Francisco Morales, we sold out of all of our shirts at the World War 2 museum golf tournament today! Which means… Our second order is going out in the next few days! If you want a VMC t-shirt, long sleeve or hoodie let me know so I can make sure I get enough in your size. We can get pretty much any style of shirt you might want.

We have been keeping a little secret 🤫

Last week we sent one of our best boys to WNYHeroes.org and Pawsitive for Heroes.

Yesterday he entered their Lakeview facility and is officially working towards becoming a service dog for a veteran once he graduates.

Smokey is an intelligent dog. We knew he would struggle in a pet only home, he was built for more, he has such a drive to please and is smart as can be. We would have done him a disservice asking him to ignore his calling and to be a couch potato.

Thank you to our amazing veterinarian Dr Nicole for fostering Smokey and saving his life from a southern shelter. Of course none of this would be possible without the gals at Tri-Town Veterinary Hospital and Paws Avenue NY who worked with Smokey daily and helped him burn his energy off in daycare.

Rescue takes a village and we are proud of the one surrounding our dogs to be the best they can be.

Good luck Smokey! We will see you when you graduate 💜
