CASH for PUPPIES
When someone parts with their hard-earned cash, you can consider their purchase a compliment in the highest regard. Ultimately, I cannot trust my first food sales because I suspect my puppy dog eyes were a bigger factor than the taste of my lemonade. But many years later, my husband Jon and I were proud to sell gourmet hotdogs in a little downtown store front. The poodle (a turkey dog with feta and red-wine cucumber relish) remains my proudest culinary sale. This next call could result in the sale of your artwork, a high compliment that could leave you with extra dough for hot dogs!
