Stop Burning Your Boats: Why the “Boring Quit” Wins Every Time
We’ve all heard the romanticized startup advice: burn the boats. Quit your job, leap into the unknown, and force your back against the wall so success is your only option.
But according to author Kay Jay in How to Start a Small Business That Actually Makes Money, this dramatic narrative is nothing more than a “survivorship bias machine.” While the rare stories of high-stakes gamblers who beat the odds make for compelling media, they conveniently ignore the massive graveyard of businesses that crashed under the weight of financial desperation.
If you are thinking about launching a business, Jay advocates for a “strategic exit” instead of a premature leap. Here is why keeping your day job might just be your biggest competitive advantage:
The 33% Advantage: Research published in the Academy of Management Journal shows that entrepreneurs who keep their day jobs while launching are 33% less likely to fail than those who quit immediately.
Time to Iterate: A steady paycheck acts as a safety net, granting you the breathing room to test your business model, validate assumptions, and survive early setbacks without the panic of immediate survival.
Reduced Sales Desperation: When your rent is covered, you don’t sound desperate on sales calls. That means you can hold firm on your pricing and walk away from “bad” clients instead of taking them just to make ends meet.
The Day Job as a “Funding Mechanism”: Shift your mindset. Your current job isn’t an obstacle—it’s the investor funding your runway, buying you the time to build a rock-solid foundation.
The Goal of a “Boring Quit”: The ultimate ideal is a “calculated step” rather than a gamble. A boring quit means you already did the hard work of validation and revenue generation before you needed the income, rather than betting your livelihood on work that hasn’t happened yet.
The “messy middle”—that transitional phase between a career ending and a new one taking off—demands the structural integrity of a financial runway. By refusing to burn your boats prematurely, you ensure your business is fueled by market demand rather than sheer panic.

There’s a specific guilt that shows up right around the third time you post some version of the same idea in one week, a little voice that sounds suspiciously like a teacher checking for plagiarism, asking whether you’re actually being lazy right now, dressed up as a system. I felt that voice constantly when I started multiplying instead of creating from scratch every time. I want to talk about it, because I don’t think I’m the only one who’s felt vaguely fraudulent doing this.
Where the guilt actually comes from
I think it comes from a rule nobody stated out loud but everyone absorbed anyway: new content is virtuous, and reused content is a shortcut, and shortcuts are for people who aren’t willing to put in the real work. I believed some version of that for a long time, which is strange in hindsight, because I don’t apply that standard to literally anything else. Nobody thinks a chef is cheating for cooking the same excellent dish twice. Nobody thinks a musician is cheating for playing the same song at two different shows. But post the same idea on two platforms, in two formats, and some part of your brain quietly files it under “getting away with something.”
I did the actual audit on this feeling and it did not survive contact with logic, but it survived contact with logic for a surprisingly long time regardless, because guilt doesn’t require evidence, just a comfortable, familiar shape.
The reframe that actually worked
Here’s what finally moved the needle for me: nobody experiences my content the way I do. I see the same idea nine times because I’m the one making all nine versions. My actual audience sees, at most, one or two of those nine — a clip here, an article there, a newsletter they happened to open. To them, it isn’t repetition. It’s just the one piece of content they encountered, doing its job, once, the way any single post is supposed to.
The guilt was a symptom of being the only person in the room who’d seen behind the curtain. Everyone else just sees the show.
What I had to actually admit to myself
The uncomfortable truth is that “new content every time” was never actually a virtue. It was a constraint I’d mistaken for a value, and a genuinely exhausting one. Making something new from scratch isn’t more honest than multiplying a good idea properly — it’s just more expensive, and I’d confused the expense for integrity, the way you might mistake a harder workout for a better one even when it’s just worse programming.
A good idea, treated with real care and turned into several honest, distinct pieces of work, isn’t a shortcut. Writing an actual standalone article instead of just slapping a transcript online, cutting a clip that stands on its own instead of just trimming for length — that’s still work, real work, just not work I have to invent fresh raw material for every single time.
Where I landed
I still get a flicker of the old guilt occasionally, usually late at night, usually right before I post the fifth thing that traces back to Monday’s notes. I let it pass through without acting on it now, the way you’d let a familiar, slightly annoying song play out instead of turning it off. It’s not information. It’s just an old habit of thought that hasn’t caught up to how I actually work anymore.
The chef doesn’t feel guilty about the second plate. I’m working on it.
Ready to stop treating good ideas like single-use plastics?
When I first started, I fell straight into the trap that every new creator and entrepreneur is fed. I thought success meant building a flawless digital storefront before I was ever allowed to ask someone for money.
I spent weeks agonizing over color palettes, commissioning custom logos, and meticulously planning an Instagram grid that looked like it belonged to a million-dollar brand. It felt like hard work. It felt like progress.
But looking back through the lens of what I now know about building a Minimum Viable Business, all that time spent obsessing over “safe” digital marketing wasn’t productive at all. It was a defense mechanism—a deadly trap designed to protect my ego while quietly starving my bank account.
The Comfort of “Productive Procrastination”
When you are navigating the chaotic, unpredictable middle of a career transition or launching something new, the human instinct is to frantically grasp for control.
Building a website or curating social media feeds gives you an immediate dopamine hit. It lets you feel like you’re steering the ship, even when you’re standing still.
The Shield Behind the Screen: Designing a slick social media profile allows you to hide. It insulates you from the terrifying vulnerability of looking a real human in the eye and asking them to hand over their hard-earned money.
The Illusion of Feedback: If you post a reel and it gets zero engagement, it feels like background noise. It doesn’t sting the way a direct, face-to-face rejection does.
The Reality Check: If you cannot convince a single person in your immediate circle or neighborhood to buy your basic offer, a prettier font or a higher follower count isn’t going to magically create demand.
Why “Safe” Channels Fail in Month One
The foundational flaw with relying on organic social media growth or SEO when you’re trying to launch a venture comes down to a brutal constraint: time.
Algorithms Take Months: Building organic search traffic or a viral social media presence takes months—sometimes years—of consistent effort. If your timeline is a 30-day launch to secure your first paying customer or pay your rent, you simply don’t have the luxury of waiting for an algorithm to favor you.
Extreme Noise: Millions of creators are fighting a brutal war for fractions of a second of attention in overflowing digital spaces. In the online world, trying to play it safe makes you entirely invisible.
Vanity vs. Revenue: Likes, saves, and follower counts are comforting metrics, but they don’t pay the bills. A real business is built on a simple equation: an offer, a price, and a contact method. Everything else is just a distraction.
Breaking the Trap: Embracing the Friction
Escaping this trap requires a radical mindset shift. Instead of treating your business like an art project to be showcased online, you have to treat it like a clinical systems problem.
Embrace Direct Outreach: True validation happens in real-time interactions. Whether it is reaching out to your immediate network with low-pressure questions (“Do you know anyone who might need this?”) or utilizing local community channels, you have to go where the noise isn’t.
Risk the Immediate “No”: The discomfort you feel during direct outreach—whether messaging strangers or talking to neighbors—is simply the price you pay for speed.
Safe social media marketing feels cozy because it protects your pride. But if you want a business that actually makes money, you have to stop playing business. Step away from the endless tweaking of your digital footprint, embrace the friction of real-world conversations, and start chasing paying customers instead of likes.

Ready to Stop Playing Business?
If you are tired of hiding behind the comfort of a polished website, endless social media tweaking, and digital busywork, it is time to do what actually matters.
In my book, How to Start a Small Business That Actually Makes Money, I break down the exact 30-day framework to ditch the startup fantasies, price your offers with confidence, and secure your first paying customer in real time.
If I had to give one life-changing tip, it would be this:
Stop preparing to live your life. Start inconveniencing yourself by actually living it.
There is a particular species of human—and I know because I belong to it—that mistakes preparation for progress.
We don’t have ideas. We have systems for managing ideas.
We don’t write books. We build Notion dashboards about writing books.
We don’t start businesses. We spend six months choosing a logo because, obviously, investors care deeply about kerning.
Our browser has 427 tabs open. Every one of them is titled “I’ll definitely read this later.” We own more frameworks than functioning revenue streams. We can diagnose capitalism, AI, democracy, and the dating market before breakfast, yet still spend forty-five minutes deciding where to have lunch.
For years, I thought the missing ingredient was one more insight.
One more course.
One more spreadsheet.
One more perfect plan.
It turns out life is deeply unfair to people who love planning. It rewards people who are willing to look slightly foolish.
The first draft teaches more than the fiftieth outline.
The awkward sales call beats the perfect pitch deck.
The article you publish changes you more than the masterpiece you keep editing.
Most breakthroughs arrive embarrassingly underprepared.
I’ve realized that intelligent people have a peculiar curse. We can simulate success so convincingly in our heads that we confuse the simulation with the experience. We optimize routes we haven’t walked, solve problems we don’t yet have, and build second brains while occasionally forgetting to use the first one.
So if I could offer one piece of advice, it would be this:
Trade one hour of preparation for one hour of embarrassment every day.
Ship the imperfect thing.
Make the awkward phone call.
Publish the clumsy essay.
Ask the stupid question.
Start before your framework is finished.
Because eventually you discover that life isn’t changed by your best ideas.
It’s changed by the handful you were brave—or impatient—enough to put into the world.
Why Quitting Your Day Job Too Soon Is Killing Your Startup (And What to Do Instead)
If you have ever felt the pull of entrepreneurship, you have likely heard the romanticized advice to “take a leap of faith” and burn your ships. But according to author Kay Jay in her new book, How to Start a Small Business That Actually Makes Money, that dramatic narrative is a recipe for financial burnout.
Instead, Jay advocates for the side-hustle-first model—the statistically superior, low-risk path to building a thriving enterprise.
The 33% Lower Failure Rate
The rationale for keeping your day job is rooted in a compelling 2014 study from the Academy of Management Journal, which found that entrepreneurs who launched their businesses while still employed were 33% less likely to fail than those who quit immediately.
Keeping your day job gives you three massive advantages:
Time to Iterate: You can test your business model and market assumptions without the terrifying pressure of immediate survival.
Financial Stability: A steady paycheck allows you to weather the inevitable volatility and setbacks of the early months.
Reduced Desperation: Because your rent and bills are covered, you never sound desperate in client conversations, allowing you to hold firm on your pricing and value.
Stop Working for a Paycheck, Start Funding Your Dream
Your salary is literally paying for your Runway Number—the liquid savings required to comfortably survive once you eventually make the transition to full-time owner.
The 3-Step “Strategic Exit” Roadmap
How do you know when it is actually time to hand in your resignation? Jay outlines a clear, phased approach to transitioning out of the corporate world:
Phase 1 (Nights and Weekends): Use your off-hours to validate your idea, secure your first clients, and build your initial savings buffer.
Phase 2 (The Financial Buffer): Once your side business consistently generates 25% to 50% of your monthly expenses, your job officially transitions from a primary income source to a protective financial buffer.
Phase 3 (The Transition Point): You are ready to quit when you have hit your full Runway Number in savings (typically 6 to 12 months of expenses) and your business reliably covers at least half of your living costs.
The ultimate goal of keeping your day job is to make your eventual resignation “boring.” A boring quit means your business has already proven itself through real-world data and revenue, turning your departure into a logical next step rather than a high-stakes gamble.

I Don’t Own My Audience on Any Platform Except One
Every platform I post on will, at some point, without asking me, change the rules of how many of my own followers actually see what I make. This is not a conspiracy theory. It’s just how the business works — attention is the product, and I am, at best, a supplier who doesn’t get a vote. I’ve made peace with this the way you make peace with weather. I just stopped pretending any of those platforms were mine.
I do own one thing, though, and I didn’t fully appreciate it until I watched a video quietly reach a fraction of the people who’d deliberately chosen to follow me for it.
The moment this actually became real to me
I posted something I was genuinely proud of, to an audience I’d spent 18 months building, and watched it get shown to a noticeably smaller slice of that audience than the post before it, for reasons nobody explained to me, because nobody owes me an explanation — I’m a guest there, however long I’ve been visiting. Nothing had changed about the content. Something had changed about the rules, quietly, upstream, somewhere I don’t have access to.
That’s the moment I stopped thinking of platforms as places I “have an audience” and started thinking of them as places I’m allowed to rent attention, on terms that can change without notice, forever, as a permanent condition of doing business there.
The one exception
My email list — which for me lives inside Substack — doesn’t work that way. If someone subscribed, they see what I send. Not “might see, depending on an algorithm’s mood that week.” See. That’s the entire deal, and it’s a deal so simple it almost sounds naive to say out loud in an industry this obsessed with growth hacks and engagement rates.
I don’t say this to be precious about email newsletters, which I understand is a slightly unfashionable thing to be precious about. I say it because it’s the one piece of this whole system I actually own outright, and everything else — the clips, the reposts, the cross-posts — I’ve started thinking of as advertising for the one channel where the rules can’t quietly change under me.
Why this changes how I think about the whole workflow
Every platform still matters. I’m not walking away from any of them — that would be its own kind of self-sabotage, given how much of this system depends on reaching people who’ve never heard of me yet. But I’ve stopped treating them as equally mine. The clips and social posts are outreach. The home-base post, the one going to people who already opted in, is the actual relationship. Everything else is just how I introduce myself to strangers who might eventually want to be there too.
I used to measure success by whatever the biggest number was that week — most views, most likes, whichever platform had a good day. I measure it differently now. How many people are on the list I actually own. Everything else is weather, and I’ve stopped checking the forecast quite so anxiously.
What I’d tell someone building this for the first time
Build the audience you rent. You have to — that’s where discovery happens, that’s where strangers become readers. But build the one you own at the same time, from day one, even when it feels smaller and slower and less exciting than watching a clip take off. The clip’s numbers will humble you eventually, on a schedule you don’t control. The list won’t, because nobody but you decides what happens to it.
You Don’t Need a Lightning Idea: Why the Best Businesses Hiding in Your “Messy Middle”
I wrote my book, How to Start a Small Business That Actually Makes Money, from the literal wreckage of a collapsed career. After a sudden corporate layoff erased a ten-year plan, I spent months in what I call the “messy middle”—that terrifying territory between the life I knew and the one I hadn’t yet built. During that time, I realized that most aspiring entrepreneurs are waiting for a “lightning strike” of genius that never comes.
The truth is, you don’t need a unique, world-changing idea to build a life-changing business. In fact, originality is not required; execution is.
The Procrastination of the “Unique” Idea
We are conditioned to believe that if an idea is already being done, the market is “full.” I’ve found that the opposite is true: the most reliable signal that a business idea is worth pursuing is that other people are already doing it and making money. This isn’t a red flag; it is a clinical proof of concept.
When you chase a “unique” idea, you often end up like the entrepreneur who spent years on a “cool” tech startup that offered nothing but a high therapy bill. Meanwhile, the “boring” business—like a commercial cleaning company—is what actually pays the mortgage. The best businesses don’t feel like inventions; they feel like obvious fixes to obvious problems that should have been solved already.
Stop Dreaming and Start Auditing
If you aren’t waiting for a lightning strike, where do you look? The answer is usually right in front of you, hidden in your daily frustrations or the skills you take for granted.
The Annoyance Audit: For one week, document every frustration you experience. The contractor who doesn’t call back or the neighborhood Facebook group begging for a reliable handyman are your best leads. Any frequently requested service that rarely gets a satisfactory answer is a business waiting to be built.
The Skills Inventory: Expertise is often invisible from the inside because it feels “normal” to you. You must force yourself to see your professional tasks, informal favors, and industry knowledge through the eyes of someone who desperately needs that help.
The “Boring” Advantage
Reliably profitable businesses share three traits that “lightning” ideas often lack: real recurring demand, healthy margins, and repeatability.
I recommend that first-time owners start with a service business because it is the fastest path to cash. You can start a residential cleaning company with $200 in supplies and one customer, or a bookkeeping practice with a laptop you already own. These “unglamorous” roles work because the grass grows back and the office gets dirty again—there is no finish line for the customer, which means there is no finish line for your revenue.
The Ultimate Filter: The $500 Test
Before you spend a cent on a website or a logo, put your idea through the $500 Test. Ask yourself: How would you make $500 from this idea in the next 30 days using only your current skills and resources?.
This test is my clinical antidote to the “perfection trap”. It forces you to:
Be Specific: Move from an abstract “concept” to a concrete transaction.
Expose Customer Acquisition: Identify exactly who you would call and what you would say.
Prove the Path: If you can’t make $500 without a website or a brand, you don’t have a business; you have a fantasy.
As I always tell my readers, if you can’t make $500 from an idea in thirty days, you can’t build a business from it in thirty months.
Engineering Your Foundation
The goal of my framework is to replace wishful thinking with informed experimentation. Don’t wait for a “cool” idea to tell people about at dinner parties; look for the boring, reliable, recurring needs that other people don’t want to deal with.
The “messy middle” is a terrifying place to stand, but it is the perfect place to build from. Stop looking for inspiration and start looking for the leak in the plumbing. That is where your real business begins.
The Most Undervalued Skill: Turning Your “Invisible Expertise” Into an Income Stream
I wrote my book, How to Start a Small Business That Actually Makes Money, in the messy, disorienting wake of a total career collapse. One Monday, I was a senior engineer with a ten-year plan; by Friday, a corporate layoff had erased years of careful architecture. In the vacuum that followed, I tried to pivot based on pure passion—launching an artisanal candle business that left me inhaling fragrance oils while my savings bled dry.
I eventually realized that I didn’t need more “hustle.” I needed to master a skill that is technically basic, yet one that most people completely ignore: The ability to audit your own life for “invisible expertise” and solve an obvious problem for a specific price.
The Curse of Familiarity
The most reliable source of a business idea is the expertise you’ve already built over years of trial and error. The problem is that expertise is invisible from the inside. Because you have lived with these skills for so long, they feel “normal” to you. You assume that if a task is easy for you, it must be “cheap” or of low value to the market.
This is a fundamental error in judgment. Most people spend their lives chasing a “lightning strike” of original genius, while they completely overlook the “leaks in the plumbing” they are uniquely qualified to fix. In reality, originality is not required; execution is.
The Skills You Are Taking for Granted
When I ask people what they are good at, they usually give me a resume title. But the money is in the granular tasks. To stop undervaluing yourself, you have to look at three specific areas:
Professional Skills: A project manager’s real value isn’t “management”; it’s vendor negotiation and risk identification. A teacher’s real skill is explaining complex topics simply and managing resistant people.
Informal Skills: These are the things friends and neighbors already “consume” your time for—like reorganizing a kitchen or fixing a recurring tech problem. If you are already doing it for free, you have a validated skill that people want.
The Insider’s Advantage: Applying an ordinary skill to a specific industry you understand deeply makes it extraordinary. A bookkeeper who specializes in restaurant tip pools and POS systems can charge a 30% premium because they speak the industry’s language.
The “Boring” Truth About Success
Most aspiring entrepreneurs “play business” by spending months on logos, websites, and business cards. This is productive procrastination—a way to feel busy while delaying the uncomfortable moment of actually asking for money.
The “basic” skill most people lack is the discipline to build a Minimum Viable Business: an offer, a price, and a way to reach someone who needs help. I’ve learned that the “cool” startups often just pay for therapy, while the “boring” businesses—the ones that solve recurring, unglamorous problems—are the ones that actually pay the mortgage.
Stop Dreaming and Start Engineering
My goal isn’t for you to just read a book; it’s for you to have a real business by the time you finish it. If you can’t make $500 from an idea in thirty days using only your current resources, you don’t have a business—you have a concept.
If you are currently standing in your own “messy middle,” stop looking for inspiration and start looking for the expertise you already own.

Let’s get to work on building a foundation that provides structural stability in an era of uncertainty.
What Makes Sauli—My Tornado in the Body of a Belgian Malinois—So Special?
“Some dogs fetch tennis balls. Mine fetches chaos… and somehow leaves behind a little more love every single time.”
When people meet Sauli for the first time, they usually say one of two things.
“She’s beautiful.”
Or…
“Wow… she has a LOT of energy.”
Both are true.
But neither explains who she really is.
Sauli isn’t just a black Belgian Malinois. She isn’t simply the inspiration behind The Adventures of Sauli the Rescue Pup. She’s the reason those books exist at all.
Every page began with her.
Every laugh was earned.
Every tear was real.
She Was Never Just a Rescue Dog
People often assume that rescuing a dog means changing their life.
Feed them.
Train them.
Love them.
Give them a second chance.
That’s only half the story.
The other half?
They quietly begin rescuing you.
I didn’t go looking for a character to write about.
I rescued a puppy.
The books happened because life with Sauli became too unbelievable not to write down.
She Lives at 200 Miles Per Hour
If you’ve never lived with a Belgian Malinois, imagine combining:
the curiosity of a toddler,
the athleticism of an Olympic gymnast,
the determination of an FBI detective,
and the impulse control of… absolutely nobody.
Now multiply it by ten.
That’s breakfast.
Sauli doesn’t simply walk into a room.
She arrives.
Every shadow deserves investigation.
Every squirrel is a national emergency.
Every open gate is a personal invitation.
And every quiet afternoon somehow ends with me asking,
“How did you even manage that?”
Chaos Isn’t Her Personality.
Curiosity Is.
This is the part most people miss.
People see destruction.
I see investigation.
Sauli isn’t trying to be naughty.
She’s trying to understand the world.
Why does that cupboard open?
What’s behind this fence?
Where does this trail go?
Why is everyone running after me?
Her curiosity has no off switch.
And honestly…
I hope it never does.
Because curiosity built civilizations.
Curiosity writes books.
Curiosity rescues dogs.
She Doesn’t Love Halfway
When Sauli loves…
she commits completely.
She’ll lean her entire body against you.
Rest her head on your lap like you’re the safest place she’s ever known.
Follow you from room to room because apparently privacy is optional.
She has no interest in pretending to care.
It’s all or nothing.
There’s something incredibly refreshing about that.
Humans complicate love.
Dogs simplify it.
She Taught Me That Trust Is Earned in Tiny Moments
People think trust happens in one magical moment.
It doesn’t.
Especially with rescue dogs.
Trust happens…
…when you sit beside the crate instead of forcing them out.
…when you celebrate the first tail wag.
…when you realize progress isn’t measured in weeks.
It’s measured in tiny victories.
One look.
One lick.
One sigh.
One nap where they finally decide they’re safe enough to dream.
Those moments changed me far more than they changed Sauli.
She Has Absolutely No Interest in Being Perfect
I love that about her.
She has escaped daycare.
Created bathhouse disasters.
Started neighborhood chases.
Made professional groomers question their career choices.
She’s knocked over furniture.
Embarrassed me in public.
Destroyed toys within minutes.
And somehow…
every single one of those disasters eventually became a story.
Not because chaos is funny.
Because life is.
Perfection isn’t memorable.
Authenticity is.
She Reminds Me That Adventure Is Usually Unplanned
Nobody plans to write three children’s books.
Nobody plans for their rescue dog to inspire thousands of readers.
Nobody wakes up thinking,
“Today my dog will accidentally become a literary character.”
Yet here we are.
The Adventures of Sauli the Rescue Pup wasn’t born from brainstorming sessions.
It was born from living.
Real moments.
Real mistakes.
Real laughter.
Real love.
Every Book Carries a Piece of the Real Sauli
Readers often ask,
“Did that really happen?”
Usually…
yes.
Sometimes it’s exaggerated.
Sometimes it’s softened for younger readers.
But every adventure carries the heartbeat of the real Sauli.
The fearless explorer.
The professional escape artist.
The cuddle expert.
The tornado disguised as a Belgian Malinois.
Why Readers Connect With Her
Children don’t fall in love with perfect characters.
Neither do adults.
They love characters who make mistakes.
Who keep trying.
Who get scared.
Who find courage anyway.
Sauli reminds us that it’s okay to be wonderfully imperfect.
She isn’t trying to become someone else.
She’s simply becoming more herself.
Maybe that’s why readers root for her.
Maybe that’s why I do too.
The Rescue Mission Continues
The books may be about a mischievous Belgian Malinois, but they’ve always been about something much bigger.
Second chances.
Family.
Adventure.
Belonging.
Resilience.
And the quiet truth that Adopt, Don’t Shop isn’t just a slogan.
It’s an invitation to change two lives at once.
Mine changed forever the day I met Sauli.
I hope someone else’s will too.
Join Sauli’s Adventures
If you’ve ever loved a dog who refused to fit neatly into anyone’s expectations…
If you’ve ever believed that the best stories are the ones that actually happened…
Or if you’re looking for heartwarming children’s books that celebrate rescue dogs, family, adventure, and the beautiful chaos of growing together…
The Adventures of Sauli the Rescue Pup is for you.
From cross-country journeys and globe-trotting adventures to unforgettable escapes, every book is inspired by the real life of one extraordinary rescue pup who proved that sometimes the biggest hearts come wrapped in muddy paws and endless curiosity.
Because Sauli isn’t just the hero of these books.
She’s the reason they exist.
And somehow…
I think she’s only just getting started.
Celebrating One-Year of Adventures of Sauli the Rescue Pup!
