🐺🍦🥐 One last treat before school starts! 🎒📚

I made a stop at La Loma in Crystal for some yummy bakery treats and, of course, ICE CREAM! 🍦😋 A pup needs some fuel for the last weekend of summer!

Monday, August 31st is the first day of school, and I can’t wait to welcome back all our students! 🥰📚✏️

Enjoy this last weekend, everyone! See you Monday! 🐾❤️

Hi friends! It’s me, Wolfie! 🐺💙 I’m getting ready for my first day of school on August 31st!

Today I’m shopping at Marshalls in Crystal for my first-day-of-school T-shirt! 👕 I’m sizing up so it fits me all the way until June 2027! 😎 I’m also picking out my new backpack 🎒 and lunch box 🍎 for the school year!

The countdown is ON… T-MINUS 4 DAYS until I get to welcome all my Forest Wolves back! 🐺💙📚

See you soon, Wolves! August 31st, here I come! 🎉🐾
