Cats or Dogs?
This is a simple question with a relative simple answer...dogs. Dogs are fun, cuddly and great companions. Although, my dog vs. cat reasoning goes a little further beyond those simple qualities. All my life cats have been out to get me. They carry out their attacks through covert and biological means, dander. I like to breathe, therefore making dog ownership vs. cat ownership a no-brainer.

I have had dogs from childhood to present, which includes breeds ranging from big and small. Currently, I have one of each; a small Boston Terrier named Ruby and a giant Aussie-mix, Biscuit. Ruby is clearly the boss. It is easy to overlook how clean your kitchen floor remains with a dog around the house.

What is your guilty pleasure?
Grapes. I know, I know, grapes as a guilty pleasure? What isn't to love. They are spherical, crisp, sweet, and can be enjoyed on a hot or cool day. I can't just eat one!!! I think I read somewhere these can also be fermented, I'll have to check Wikipedia.

What is my favorite chore?
My hands-down favorite chore is laundry. I find the mundane task of folding clothes and separating colors cathartic. Plus, there is always that added bonus of pulling out a warm blanket and wrapping up in it on a cold blustery day.

There you have it...me, Greg Valladolid, your BH&B staff highlight for the month. Stay tuned; we will be sharing a little more about each of us who make up the BH&B team.

In the meantime, please feel free to reach out if there is anything I can help with.
