THE GALS

Just three best friends who moved miles apart, all across the country, only to find their love of dogs would keep them together! 

We never knew our crazed dog obsession would lead to this fun and exciting blog life that we have now. We all believe that dogs are the source of pure happiness and with that happiness comes crazy adventures, fun, chaos and even a little bit of  fashion! This blog is more than just a hobby to us gals, it has come to be the key to this crazy dog mom life and we are so excited for you to join us on the ride!

Megan is a Dallas girl at heart but moved to NYC in 2012 to follow her dreams in fashion. After about 4 years in the fashion industry. After missing her 5 dogs back in Dallas, Megan got her first NYC dog, a rescued border collie named Pharrell, and quickly learned that her passion for dogs outweighed fashion by a landslide. So, 3 rescue dogs she left the fashion world (took all the clothes of course) and started working as a marketing and community manager for NYC dog companies. Megan is also the Pet Contributing Editor at Bestprodcuts.com, she finds all the must-haves and has all the need to know of everything pet. Megan is always on Central Park dates and hitting up every dog-friendly event in subway distance. Megan is also on the board at Global Strays, which is where her passion lies in helping dogs around the world and raising awareness on the importance of spay and neuter in developing countries.

I enjoy Sunday naps, laughing with my husband and two sons, eating breakfast, and loving on Abbie and Gunner. (Not necessarily in that order!) My husband, Sean, and I are just like you pet parents – our pups drive us freaking insane at times but we love them to the moon and back and would never trade them for the world! I honestly wish I could have them with me for an entire lifetime! They really are the perfect dogs… with a few flaws. LOL. This whole pet pawrent thing is a roller coaster ride, am I right?! One minute you are super proud of your pup for learning a new trick and the next minute they are pooping on your Crate & Barrel rug! (Cough. BABY GUNNER. Cough.) I’m so excited to share our journey with you and hear about yours as well! The reason I decided to be a content creator for Gal’s Best Friend was not because of the love I have for my dogs (which is A LOT) but I wanted to connect with people who have that same love, all across the world! What better way to connect with dog moms than to experience things together and connect with one another on a personal level?! I look forward to writing for Gal’s Best Friend, but I am more excited to read your comments and get to know each and every one of you and your fur babies!

I am a born and raised Texas girl, who’s obsessed with animals, coffee, and now… blogging! On top of all of that, I am also a first grade teacher. However, the countless and hilarious kid stories will have to be shared elsewhere, because although I love my job, my biggest passion in life is animals!  I’ve loved animals, dogs in particular, ever since I can remember… sometimes more than people. “I just want to drink coffee and save the animals,” is my motto! And trust me… I have gone to EXTREME lengths to try and “save” animals. Between stray dogs, abandoned dogs and shelter dogs, (and the occasional cat) I’ve tried to help them all. However, I’ve come to learn, that my biggest goal can’t be to save every animal. Instead, to simply try and spread the love of animals to the world. If I can warm even just one person’s heart to the amazing companionship of an animal, then that’s one less homeless pup. Dogs are incredible and it is so exciting to finally be able to express my craziness about dogs and well… not seem so crazy!

THE STORY OF THE GALS

The Start of Gal’s Best Friend started in 2007, Megan and Chelsea met at the Texas Rangers Six Shooters tryouts. One year later, Megan met Jessica when they rushed the same sorority. Soon after, all 3 of us gals were part of the best baseball club in the country! We grew to be great friends who shared the same interests; puppies, fashion, and Justin Bieber. But if you would have asked us if we’d still be close friends and obsessed with the same things nine years later… Well, yes. That’s beliebable! But starting a doggy lifestyle blog together ( Gals Best Friend )… WHAT A WONDERFUL SURPRISE!

Fast forward to 2015 when one of us gals had a random dream late one night, that the 3 of us started a dog blog together. Crazy, right? Because we all live in different cities and only see each other here and there when one or the other is in town. So, between the miles, the husbands and boyfriends, the jobs, and (more importantly) the dogs, we don’t know how this dream became reality. But it did! And we are thankful to The Lord for it. It has brought us back together (not that we ever went that far) and it has given us a reason to talk everyday and see each other every chance we can. We’re grateful that our friendship has been strengthened through this blogging process. We’ve learned more about each other and ourselves.

Being three different gals, with five extremely different dogs, living in three very different cities… Sharing our pups’ various stories will be easy! But, more than sharing our stories with you, we hope to connect with you; our readers! Our goal is to exchange funny experiences that we have with our fur-children, the DIY fails and nails, the places we have been and love, the products that we and our pups are obsessed with, and SO much more. We intend to do all of this with the purpose of bringing modern day dog moms together with Gals Best Friend!
