Day 13: Slow Growth and Our First Contest!

Today, I launched our very first Isloved contest! I wanted to celebrate our launch with something fun and meaningful, so I’m thrilled to announce that each week, we’ll be featuring a Dog of the Week and giving away a free Isloved t-shirt. This week’s featured star? The lovable, ever-loyal Golden Retriever! It’s my little way of honoring the joy and loyalty that dogs bring into our lives—and giving back to our growing community.

To join the fun, check out our Instagram to enter the contest. It’s simple: find the Golden Retriever post, follow the entry steps, and you’ll be in the running for our weekly giveaway. And yes, I assure you, this giveaway is 100% real!

On a different note, building Isloved has come with some unexpected lessons in dodging phishing scams and shady “service offers” flooding my inbox. Every “urgent alert” and “special service” can be draining, but I’m learning to shake it off. It’s all worth it to make these genuine connections, one message at a time.

So here’s to keeping things real, celebrating our four-legged icons, and focusing on the people (and pups!) that make this journey worth every step. Thanks for being here—go check out our Dog of the Week, and let’s have some fun!
