It might sound strange, but he goes everywhere with me - across the MIT campus in Cambridge, on the 1/2/3, on weekend trips upstate, on Saturday farmers market dates.

Before this I was at Goldman Sachs, then a real estate startup, now MIT Sloan. I'm a busy girl, and Sandy's along for all of it. The average maltipoo lives 10 to 15 years, and once that sank in, it changed how I think about our time together — I want his life as full and lived-in as mine, not just walks around the block while I'm somewhere else.

But there are real gaps in the industry. I don't know who they were building for, but it certainty wasn't a 10-pound dog going everywhere with someone whose life moves this fast. Almost nothing out there was made for that. So I'm building it: for me, and for everyone else living this same fast, dog-in-tow life. Come along for the ride!
