Hey. Wake up. It’s me, Peaches, and I just found out about @PeachesTheSausageDoggo on Instagram.

And I want my cut.

That’s right, I know all about the Chewy.com partner posts and the 365 Days of Peaches calendar. Over 120,000 followers, huh? Looks like you got about twenty grand coming in per year without paying a dime for labor.

But the juice has been running twenty points a week, so that’s $81,901. Let’s round up to an even hundred large to keep the math easy.

I’ve put in my time. Now Peaches gets what’s hers.
