The P&S crew returns for a special conversation with Field Notes’ own Bryan Bedell. This show is PACKED with shoptalk on industry logistics, Signs of Spring, collaboration stories, the Field Nuts Facebook group, and more! We even made sure to dig a few hints out of Bryan for what's to come from Field Notes. Our 7th episode is a long one, but well worth the time.

006.A A Dog's Tale
In this mini episode Greg and Tery follow up the story of the lucky dog who found a new home thanks to Tery and fellow Field Nut, Rob D. All because of being part of the awesome Field notes community.
Rob's post on Facebook - "Thank you Tee Lock for driving 1000 miles to bring me my new friend. Baby’s new life name will be…Bialy. I love food names for pets and wanted to honor my best friend Bagel who crossed the rainbow bridge 6 months ago. Another round bread product! In case you are unfamiliar with what a Bialy is, I’ve provided a link. Today is the first day of the rest of her life, free of violence and negativity. Note: full name is Onion Bialy with Chive Cream Cheese."
