This is an audio narration of a written post published for the All In One Breath newsletter on Substack. Be sure to take a scroll through the post itself here to check out the accompanying photos, videos and visuals I keep referring to throughout 😉

The following is a drive-by account of the story of Grumble Farm, a brand and global pug-loving community I built over the course of the past decade. It leaves out so many important details (lest this post be 84 years long), but the full story will come in time.

The point of this story is actually to reveal Gritty & Gracious’ new visual brand to set the scene for this new space here on Substack. Since it was birthed from the ashes of Grumble Farm’s slow and natural demise, I figured it’d be best to start from the beginning.

To my original Grumble Farm-ily, who make up the majority of my subscribers as we begin this new journey together, once again—thank you for stickin’ with me through the burn. ❤️💙🧡
