Ally, Kim, Otis & Rupert - Rescue, Resilience & a Rabbit

Your mental health matters.

You can’t pour from an empty cup, and these two know it better than most. In this episode, we sit down with Ally and Kim to hear their raw and honest journey with Otis, their rescue dog. What started as a nervous boy lacking in confidence progressed into some pretty big feelings they were finding hard to navigate which led them to a deeper exploration of what they needed — support, space, and a reminder to look after themselves as much as their dog.

It’s a story of burnout, breakthroughs, and the little decisions that helped them finally turn a corner. And yes, there’s a very special non-dog guest in this one — their rabbit, Rupert, who just might be the real MVP of the episode.

✨ This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt like they were running on empty, or who needed a reminder that showing up for your dog starts with showing up for yourself.

Emma , Arthur & Billy - Beyond the 'Easy Dog' Label

Being a Golden Retriever, Arthur was often seen as the “easy dog” but things at home told a different story. Behind the calm exterior were quiet challenges that left Emma unsure, second-guessing herself, and wondering why it still felt so hard.

In this episode, she reflects on what that experience really looked like, and how the experience with Arthur shaped everything about how she approached raising her second puppy, Billy. It’s a conversation about learning through experience, letting go of pressure, and doing things with more confidence the second time around.

If you’ve ever felt like no one quite understands what you’re dealing with behind closed doors, this one will resonate.
