Whoops! We meant hotdogs! 🌭 Our bad.

Don’t worry, your pups are safe.

So here you are. You survived another Ohio winter.

Barely.

And now that the sun is back and you can feel your toes again, it’s time to make the most of it. But this isn’t just any spring bucket list — this is your guide to defrosting your body and your personality with actual activities that don’t involve doomscrolling or binge-watching Severance.

Let’s touch grass. Let’s chase waterfalls. Let’s eat 10 hotdogs for $1 and call it self-care. Spring has sprung, baby.
