The Living Better by laura Team
Hi, I'm Laura Daly.
No, you're not mistaken. This is the team. Along with me is Callie, the Labrador Retriever, and Mala, the Shih Tzu. And, yes, that is the Living Better Team.
I'm the brains, so to speak, behind the endeavor. And Callie and Mala, my colleagues, supervise the entire operation! Since this photo was taken, Layla, a Cavapoo has been added to the team. Callie has since gone to dog heaven where she’s no longer on a diet and enjoying unlimited treats.
When I am not collaborating with my team, I am also an Advanced Practice R.N. in Medical-Surgical Nursing living in Louisiana.
