Today is for Lyla and her amigos. Apparently, someone is out there counting all the four-legged friends because that person reported there are 900 million dogs currently on the planet. That same person might also say they may not get the credit they deserve. So today, we're celebrating Lyla, our favorite office dog, and sending gifts to the unsung heroes who don't judge, have a canyon-deep ability to forgive, and, in certain parts of the world, carry a little jug of whiskey around their necks. We'd also like to buy a dog friend of yours a gift. Simply email theflowtrip@flow.life with a picture of your pup and why they deserve a little extra love, and we'll hook them up with a brand spanking new dog toy courtesy of The Flow Trip. Good for the first 10 people in the U.S. who respond and unavailable to Zaida, Okra, Kobe, Toby, Ducky, Scout, Huckleberry, Enzo, Bix, Jazz, Mathilda, Milo, and if Punky the cat tries to dress up like a dog again to win something. Catch you next time, crafty cat.
Happy birthday to “Happy Birthday.” And many moooore.

Here Comes Jerry Seinfeld
Hard to say whether the backstory of “Here Comes the Sun” is more interesting or the fact that it was used in a plane crash scene of a movie where a talking bee voiced by Jerry Seinfeld doesn’t want to work anymore. What a jerk.
