April 16, 2025 Ep 66: "A Rare Breed" with Haley Easthom
Haley Easthom is the embodiment of Stubborn Positivity. During a difficult time in her life, when many would avoid and deny their challenges, she went to a bookstore and found a little story about a dog named Fred that faced his own obstacles with love and a wagging tail. Since then she has graduated college and begun a career as a dog groomer in a busy salon in Raleigh, NC. When she's not primping and pampering pups she can be found at one of the local shelters where she volunteers as a foster and dog walker. Listen in as Haley offers grooming tips for dog owners and wisdom beyond her years.

When is the right time to bring a dog into your life after a loss? How do you know for sure? Will the new dog dishonor or enhance the memory of the one you've lost? On this episode, Nora and Craig answer these questions and share surprising facts about Fred, Ruby and Bingo as they celebrate his first "gotcha day". While everyone's circumstances are different, what is certain is our departed companions want us to be happy and they are always with us.
