I will! DM me. I could rub a damp towel all over my horse’s coat to give your beagle lots of good horsey smells. My horse is in zelienople/cranberry and I’m in the Pittsburgh east end so I could meet you in either area to supply stinky towels. This is such a sweet thing to do for your dog, I would love to help!

Inflated with helium? Which dollar store?

Fantastic! I’ll call them tomorrow. I wasn’t sure because their website said “air fill only” on most of their balloon listings.

Just because there’s a shortage doesn’t mean there aren’t places that sell balloons. I’m just trying to avoid Party City and shop more locally or DIY-friendly. Sure, if I can’t find any elsewhere I’ll go to Party City or skip them.
