Pitch Free XVIII: Lotta pet content + how to do laundry

Gifts for cat lovers, dog teeth prods, ntnl dog day, fresh pet food + how to not do laundry like an a-hole

TBH, remembering how to do Roman numerals is starting to get 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

which reminds me of the time in third grade—story time, folks—that I was reading Charlotte’s Web and when I turned the page after chapter I, the next chapter said II. I was so confused. Was the book wrong? Was I… crazy? I told Mrs. Abatto, “I turned the page and all of a sudden, I’m on Chapter 11!” She misunderstood and thought I was bragging about how fast I read chapters 1-11.

Come to think of it, she never explained that it was II, like Roman numeral 2—not 11.
