Most dog food marketing lives on the front of the bag. Sundays For Dogs wants you to read the back.

Sundays was founded by Dr. Tory, a veterinarian who wanted something better for her own dog, Mabel. Every recipe is made with over 80% real meat and nutrient-rich extracts of fruits, vegetables, seeds, and grains — complete and balanced nutrition for every life stage. If an ingredient sounds like it came from a chemistry lab, it’s not in the bag.

Good morning, Neighbors!

“☀️ It's Friday! And before you start making plans for the weekend, make sure you haven't forgotten about YOU. You still have time to make a move, change your mind, try something different, or finish what you started. Don't let a few frustrating days convince you that the whole week was a loss. Give yourself some…”

The Wrap

Friday's rain wasn't just a soggy one, it was a record-setter. Norfolk International Airport got 6.31 inches, enough to break two records: the wettest Nov. 6 and the wettest November day on record. The old mark of 5.02 inches had stood since Nov. 8, 1893. WAVY's weather blog says bright sunshine returns. Soak it up.
