MEET WESTON! The Newest Addition to the Matthews Family
PUPPY STAINS? I’VE GOT YOU COVERED!
My wife and I love dogs. The minute we got married, we adopted our first dog. Our pug of 13 years, Bella, passed away in 2020. We picked out a new furry friend to join our family, but we wanted a dog that was completely different from pups we have had in the past.
Of course, like any puppy, Weston has had a few accidents in the house. But there are a few perks to being a fifth-generation dry-clean business owner! Here’s my tried-and-true method for removing Weston’s accidents from the carpet:
And that’s how we met Weston!
Now nearly a year old, Weston is more than 90 pounds of pure love. He’s a Bernese mountain dog, and we fell in love with him from the moment a 25-pound fluffball came bounding for us at the farm where we adopted him. When we first met him, my wife and I just wanted to meet Weston to determine if he was the right dog for our family. One look at him, and we knew: Weston was ours!
1. Use a shop vacuum cleaner and suck up the poop or carefully pick straight up.
2. Mix a little ammonia and dish soap with water and blot the area where the accident occurred.
He is considered a giant breed (he was 25 pounds when we adopted him at 3 months old)! He’s the best playmate our kids could ask for, and anytime he knocks them over, it’s because he forgets how big he is. Weston is a talker and is also the most loyal, receptive dog. He’s so smart and loves when we give him praise. We are so lucky to have Weston! He is all heart!
3. Finally, suck up any remaining the debris with the shop vac. Repeat step 2 if needed. If your pup has an accident on your rug, our team of experts can take care of it for you, too! Just give us a call to learn more.

Inspired by ACoupleCooks.com
INGREDIENTS
• 1 lb asparagus spears
• 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
• 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
DIRECTIONS
1. With a vegetable peeler, shave each asparagus spear from tip to base. This is easiest to do if the asparagus is on a flat surface. 2. Place shaved asparagus in a bowl and blot off excess moisture with a paper towel.
3. In a separate bowl, make a
vinaigrette by whisking together lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and olive oil.
4. Pour vinaigrette over shaved asparagus and add Parmesan cheese, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings.
