{"title":"2024 - Week 2","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"eternal-bonds-1","title":"Eternal Bonds","description":"When I was writing the card for this design, I couldn't help but think about my very first dog - Duke. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy parents adopted Duke right before I was born and he was an interesting breed, to say the least. His sister was adopted by my Aunt Marilyn and looked like Lassie, yet Duke, for some reason, looked like a wolf - a mix of German Shepard and husky. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuke was my best bud growing up - in fact most of the earliest pictures of me have Duke in the background, protecting me from everything I didn't know about at that age. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuke passed away when I was young, Maybe 9 or 10. But it was that bond I had with him that still, to this day, impacts the way I see the world around me. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd that, my friend, is the point.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou see, just like I wrote on the card - true friendships are more than just a season. They're the family you choose, and by letting them in, you're allowing them to change your perspective on life, even after they're gone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy hope for this beautiful ZOX is that it reminds you of those special relationships you have - to cherish them deeply, and remember that regardless of time, their impact stays with you forever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBig Hugs!\u003cbr\u003eJason\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis design was originally going to be available as a 2-pack.

I'll be honest, I thought of them that way for a long time. But what most of us don't realize is that wolves are inherently social creatures. They thrive in packs, bound by intricate social structures and deep connections. This revelation is at the heart this brand new ZOX called Together. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI am so intrigued by this misconception of wolves because I think it's actually backwards. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet me explain. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePretend you're a wolf, and you walk into any average home. What do you see? Are people congregating together, enjoying time with one another? Or are they isolated and alone, spending time on on their phone, \"howling\" at their screens as they type and swipe?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you're any home I know of, it pretty easy to be the latter. Addiction to phones, social media, and screen time in general has gone though the roof in recent years, and if anything, I feel like we could probably learn a thing or two from wolves. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe could learn to enjoy being outside again, to appreciate time with one another, or to care about working hard with one another so that everyone can not only survive, but thrive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd I think that's really the point of this beautiful piece - that it remind us how important our 'pack' really is. That we appreciate the time we get to spend with our loved ones immensely, because it's gone before we know it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon't let the misconceptions of us humans fool you - we are social creatures in need of community, friendship, love and care. My hope is that this ZOX helps you remember that, both in the love you give, as well as the relationships you pursue. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBig Hugs!\u003cbr\u003eJason\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZOX","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":48249697730858,"sku":"10-24-23-WB-ORD-0124-1-11-S","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":48249697894698,"sku":"10-24-23-WB-ORD-0124-1-11-M","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":48249697993002,"sku":"10-24-23-WB-ORD-0124-1-11-L","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/6892\/5482\/files\/togetherwolf_bed3fb2e-08d8-4740-acd6-f3e74cc62de5.gif?v=1714018886"}],"url":"https:\/\/zox-labs.myshopify.com\/collections\/2024-week-2.oembed","provider":"ZOX DEV Labs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
