What’s Waggin’

Hello everyone. I hope you are all healthy and safe. Here is what is happening at ABC. First, I am delighted to report that our entire ABC team remains healthy and safe. I am not aware of a single one of our team members who has contracted COVID-19, which is excellent news. We will continue to operate remotely except for a few people who come to our physical location in Santa Clarita for a variety of reasons. Our lease on this building is up at the end of 2021, so this time next year, we will be looking to rent a much smaller space. How much smaller? Currently, we have a 22,000-sq.-ft building. I suspect we will look for something around 4,000 to 5,000 sq. ft.

It’s strange to consider a smaller space when business is growing, but this coronavirus pandemic has changed how we work and our needs changed with that. I am very thankful that we were in the kind of business that could withstand something this, and my heart goes out to all who have been affected either physically or financially by this. The only other thing I can say about this pandemic is a simple belief: It will eventually diminish. Our lives have been changed by it, but things will go back to normal—even if that is a new normal.
