Dear Federal Workers,
Dogma Bakery does not want your pets to go without their needed food. Please email them at [email protected] to let them know what food you need for your pet if you are struggling.

Dogma will ask our very generous customers to "buy one, give one" with the list of needed foods so your pet can eat and you can rest easy. No change of food needed.

Dogma will email you back when your food is ready and have it in the back as a "special order" for you.

If you need it now, let them know and they will make it happen. No one needs to go hungry.

If they could afford to feed everyone they would, but they can't, but they CAN raise money and can and will figure out ways to help!
We will all get through this together!

⏰🦓 EXTRA HOUR OF SLEEP!

This weekend, we fall back! Daylight Saving Time officially ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 2 — so before bed Saturday night, turn your clocks back one hour and enjoy that glorious extra hour of sleep. 😴💤

A little history: Daylight Saving Time was first proposed in the late 1800s by Benjamin Franklin (yes, that Franklin!) as a way to make better use of daylight. It wasn’t officially adopted in the U.S. until World War I to save energy, and it’s been shifting our sleep schedules ever since.

So go ahead — savor that bonus hour, grab your newest issue of Zebra, linger over coffee ☕, and let Sunday morning unfold a little slower. After all, it’s not every day we get the gift of time.

🎖️ Veterans don’t get a breast cancer “pass” — and writer Donna Reuss digs into what that means for those who served.
Veterans may face increased risks tied to toxic exposures during service, and although the PACT Act and SERVICE Act have made important gains, questions remain about how breast cancer risk is evaluated among veterans—especially men, and women veterans who are among the fastest-growing group in uniform.

📌 If you’re a veteran or know one, it’s worth knowing these facts—and if you need help, Virginia’s veteran-service resources are listed in the piece.
