Faux Chalkboard Dog Leash Holder

Growing up, we always had a family dog so when it came time for me to have a family of my own, it was always just a given that we would be surrounded by at least one furry canine. Until recently, when one of our sweet puppies passed away (I say “puppy” but he was actually an amazing 16 year old elderly dog), we had three wonderful rescue dogs that were truly part of the family.

How do you say “no” to that super sweet face wanting to go out for a walk?! Answer: You DON’T!
