Perrine Knight
Before achieving SWWAN status in 1997, Perrine
Knight was happily married for a brief time
and traveled around the US with her military
husband, her four-legged daughter Lady (a lab
mix), and an assortment of other pets.
After a brief stint partaking of Raleigh, North
Carolina's distinctly southern hospitality,
she and Lady packed up and moved to Chicago--where
she acquired her four-legged son Winston while
volunteering with a local canine rescue organization.
He'd been a beaten-up, sickly, messy, snoring
American Bulldog with a head the size of a bulldozer
and droopy eyes from the mistreatment he suffered.
Now she and her beloved pets await the birth
of her first human baby girl!
Perri is the VP of Operations at a boutique
private equity and real estate firm in the loop.
She thrives on the challenge this opportunity
has given her and still manages to walk her
kids about 3 miles a day. Perri jumped at the
opportunity to be involved with SWWAN because
it represents an opportunity to celebrate the
life she has led these past years and all the
joy and achievement is has brought her and her
family.

LyNell Wetzel
In 2001, after losing her sister's beloved Zo Master to cancer and realizing that Duffy Do's health problems were caused by food allergies, LyNell co-founded Drooling Goodies Homemade Dog Treats. Wanting their pets to live longer, healthier lives, they did research on premium-grade, holistic and natural dog food and treats - finding nothing, they decided to create their own.
Using only the best human-grade ingredients, a line was created from the taste testers favorite recipes. Every batch is always taste tested and approved. The best thing about making dog treats is, our dogs never could get that command COME right but we don't have to worry about that any more because we just yell TREATS and they come running.
Drooling Goodies is licensed and registered with the Ohio Department of Agriculture and is a member of the Oberlin, Ohio Area Chamber of Commerce. With our web site our main goal is to have an online pet store that is designed for the health and happiness of our pets and their owners.
