Wake-Up Call With Bill Lundun & Gerry Snyder

Pet of the Week - Lucky Paws

Meet Rapunzel, one of the Disney Pups litter.  She is done with her tower & ready to explore! This brave, curious pup wants to check out everything. She is playful and energetic and will fill your home with joy. When she is done playing hard & exploring, she is ready to settle down and have a good snuggle. She plays great with other dogs (including dogs three times her size!) and is learning about cats. Since she is so young, with proper training, she should be fine around cats. Adopting a Disney Pup means inviting a bundle of joy, entertainment, and energy into your life. Rapunzel is ready to make your home her new kingdom (no towers please), and ready to make you her loving companion.
 
All dogs & cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated (to age appropriate) flea treated & dewormed.
 
Adoption Fee: $395 we accept cash and card (2.7% charge when using a credit/debit card)

PRESIDENT TRUMP TO TAP NEW NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR IN 6 MONTHS; CALLS WALTZ MOVE ‘UPGRADE’
Trump said Waltz did not resign, and instead called his nomination to the United Nations an 'upgrade'.  President Donald Trump said Sunday that he plans to appoint a new national security advisor in about six months, telling reporters the former advisor, Mike Waltz, did not resign, but was instead tapped for an upgraded position as the administration’s ambassador to the United Nations.  Trump spoke with reporters on Air Force One on Sunday night, where he was asked about several topics, including the trade deals, Mexican cartels and the national security advisor position.  One reporter asked the president about Waltz’s exit as the national security advisor, which the president said he was being selected for what he called a "higher position," or an "upgrade."

LUXURY BRANDS SAG AS GEN Z’S ‘NO-BUY 2025’ TREND SPREADS
Consumers have kept the economy humming, but inflation fatigue has taken a toll. The new big idea is austerity, and it’s hitting luxury retail hardest.  A sea change in the spending habits of the world’s consumer-driven economies appears to be gathering momentum, presenting an ominous challenge for the retail industry, most recently in the luxury space. The Gen Z “underconsumption” trend we discussed here last summer has expanded into this year’s broader social media meme—“No Buy 2025.”  Younger consumers, especially in the U.S., have been embracing this burgeoning movement which encourages people to buy as little new merchandise as possible. Just the essentials.  What this will mean for the overall retail industry in the long haul is uncertain. For now, it is the marquee high-end brands that are feeling the pinch, with some analysts warning of an extended downturn or, more dramatically, a basic change in consumer culture.
