Jen joined the Two Bostons team in July of 2011 and is the resident singer at the Springbrook store. When sheʼs not singing along with the music in the store, sheʼs usually talking up the benefits of the Himalayan Chews. Hunter, Jenʼs Australian Shepherd mix, loves to chew on them in between his agility and flyball courses.
Jenʼs ideal dinner party guests would include NASCAR legend Terry Labonte, Confederate general Robert E. Lee, and actor/beautiful man in general Ryan Gosling. And (no surprise) her favorite movie is ʻThe Notebook.ʼ Next time you are at our Springbrook store be sure to say hi!
Brittani came on board at Two Bostons in April of 2011 and is most often at the Springbrook store arranging and re-arranging the bakery case. Brittani is completely in love with Toby, her half Yorkie, half Shih-Tzu mix.
What Brittani loves the most about working at Two Bostons is, “the fact that I can share my love of dogs with other people who feel the exact same way.” One of Toby’s favorite Two Bostons’ product’s it the Dragon by Go Dog. He has a green one named Henry and a blue one named Franklin. (Yes, Toby’s toys are named…ALL of them.)
When sheʼs not at Two Bostons, you can find Brittani in the classroom, working on her Bachelorʼs degree in Psychology. Being as busy as she is, Brittani appreciates “me” time and often indulges with a good manicure. She can often be found going out for dinner & drinks with her family and boyfriend too.
A child of the 80′s (yes, she calls that decade old school) she loves the old Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys music…BUT she hates Michael Jacksonʼs music (sorry MJ fans). She’s seen the Sex and the City movie more than seven times, and knows that Batman would obviously kick Supermanʼs butt in a fight.
Next time you’re at our Springbrook store be sure to say “hi”!
Chelsea, aka Chels, aka Cat Lady, is the resident cat owner at Two Bostons. You will find her more often than not at our downtown store. Not to fear, she still loves dogs, but she shares her home with Lulu (a Torti) and Hunter (a Siamese/who knows mix).
LuLu and Hunter both love anything that Stella & Chewy’s make, first playing with it and then devouring it.
About working at Two Bostons, Chelsea says, “I am very passionate about animals, and so is everyone who works at Two Bostons.” When not munching on puppy kisses for herself (no joke!), Chelsea is a full time student at College of DuPage.
She loves ice cream, but not the gross flavors like pistachio, and she secretly dreams of being a transformer. Next time you’re at our downtown store be sure to say hey.
Kate has been with the Two Bostons team since 2009 and can be found primarily in the stockroom working on inventory at the downtown store.
Kate with Remy
Remington, Kateʼs Beagle mix she rescued, loves chewing on bully sticks and snacking on Purebites. What she appreciates most about working with Two Bostons is, “the knowledge Iʼve gained while working here about dogs, their health and behavior. I learned about gluten here first, just before finding out I was intolerant myself.”
Kate loves all the Land Before Time dinosaurs, penguins, and wonʼt ever karaoke due to a traumatizing karaoke incident that she doesnʼt want to talk about. Ever.
We’re back downtown today to meet Liz. Liz has been working at the downtown store for Two Bostons since March of 2011. Sharing her home are Brock the American Bulldog, Bigsby the Chihuahua, Ella the Yorkipoo, and Murphy the cat. Everyone loves everyone, and cuddles together accordingly.
The Tuckerʼs Selects are a universally popular treat for Lizʼs diverse gang of pups, each one getting an appropriately sized cup to indulge in. Liz, “Love love LOVES the atmosphere,ʼ at Two Bostons, and when sheʼs not hanging out with her favorite team members, sheʼs usually baking cupcakes, or watching Sex and the City. Her three favorite items are Bowser Beds, Earthdog Collars, and Bravo Buffalo training treats.
She also belts out a mean rendition of “Love You Like A Love Song” by Selena Gomez, because according to Liz,“Thatʼs my jam.Totally.”
Stop by our downtown location and say hi to Liz today.
If you have ever been to our downtown location, then you already know and love Laura!
Laura with Bella and Sophie
Laura has been with Two Bostons since September 2008, and has made the Downtwon store her Two Bostons home as our Operations Lead. She keeps things running smoothly for everyone there. She is the very proud mother of two kids as well as her black cat Bella, and her Shih Tzu Sophie. When Bellaʼs not sneaking pieces of bread to snack on, sheʼs having a great time being Sophieʼs best friend. Laura will happily tell you all about her love of the Blueberry Facial Shampoo, Bowser Beds, and Tiki Cat Food.
Sophie doesn’t have to go to the groomer to get official spa treatment with the Blueberry Facial wash. Since she is an “allergy dog” and needs frequent baths, Laura is very careful about the ingredients in the shampoos used on her. “I love the natural and gentle ingredients (coconut oil, jojoba, aloe, blueberry extract, avocado and vitamins A, D and E) in this one. Not only is it safe for her, but it gets her furry Shih Tzu face really clean and leaves her smelling yummy!” Laura says.
Bowser Beds are the favorite napping spots for both dog AND cat at Laura’s house (sometimes even at the same time). The pets like how comfy they are and Laura loves how easy they are to clean.
Bella religiously performs the Tiki hula to let Laura know when she is hungry for breakfast and dinner. Laura says, “Although her persistence can be annoying, I know I am feeding her a great quality food so we both win!”
However, Laura’s very favorite thing about Two Bostons is the customers. “We have awesome customers,” says Laura, “and I love continuously learning about pet health and nutrition.”
When not at the store, Laura is either escaping to Florida with her family at every opportunity she gets, or she’s sneaking some of the banana fudge gelato from Francescaʼs. Should she ever go missing, check one of those two places first.
Hey, hey… I know I’ve got my canned food series going right now, but we’ve been wanting to start this series for a while too. We are calling it Team Member Tuesday, and in it we are going to introduce you to a member of our team — every Tuesday. Until we run out of team members to introduce, or Tuesdays. Whichever comes first. So let’s get going.
If you have ever come into our Springbrook store, I’m sure you’ve met her…Yep! It’s Christin, our Team Lead from Springbrook!
Christin with Joey and Henry
Christin has been with Two Bostons since October of 2008 and is the team lead at the Springbrook store. Her two cockapoos Henry and Joey refuse to sleep in any of the four beds bought just for them, but they absolutely love the bully sticks. So much so, that Christin often finds them in strange places all over her house. She loves, “Being able to help people,” at Two Bostons, “its great to be able to better the lives of animals.” A true child of the 80ʼs, Christin has seen “Pretty in Pink”at least a dozen times. Her ideal dinner party guests would be Coco Chanel, Kurt Cobain, and Chris Farley. Fashion, music, and fun. Exactly what Christin is.
Next time you are at Springbrook, be sure to say hi to Christin!
