3am Thanksgiving morning our dog Chewbacca of just a few months shy of 14 years apparently had a stroke. Got him to the vet to see if there was anything they could do, but they called with the bad news Friday morning that Chew hadn't improved.

We had started ordering stuff for Chew not available locally a year or 2 back and eventually over the summer my wife put his and the cat's food and treats on auto fill as well. Over the weekend my wife talked to one of the customer service ladies there about canceling Chew's auto fill stuff, which was just as easy as the only time an item was missing and arrived within a day or 2.

Today UPS showed up and delivered an FTD box with a floral arrangement that had us totally confused until we read the note inside that it had been sent by Mariah at chewy.com. I know in the grand scheme of things that is a little silly, but they do seem to go the extra mile for their customers and pets are a big part of the lives of many folks.
