This week I'm talking about loss; specifically, the loss of a Pug and the impact it has on the Pug Pawrents, the Pug-family and how it is different each time it occurs.

With the recent passing of my third Pug Charles, I realised that our grief journey was very different to that of his brother Winston and my first Pug Louis. Andrew and I have felt the impact that their passing has had on our lives, but it wasn’t until we lost Charles that I realised just how different our grieving processes were with each Puggie.

In this week's episode we're talking to Jess about her pawty business PawtyPals

It was wonderful to talk to Jess about PawtyPals and how her Pawty Packs take the stress out of organising a Barkday or a Gotcha Day pawty, not to mention Pugmas or New Years.

Not only can you purchase a DIY pawty pack but you can also get Jess to create a custom design that speaks to your Puggies pawsonality, that provides you with wonderful memories of the day without the mess and cleanup... sounds pawfect to me!

My favourite pawty game is the Portrait kit where your Puggie can paint their very own masterpiece and you can take it home with you afterwards ... and then there are the tasting tables, OH MY PUG, can you imagine a table full of tasty treaties, all for the gobbling up by your Barkday girl or boy and their grumble friends.

In this episode Jess will share:

02:41 - How Jess came up with the idea of PawtyPals

05:12 - Marley’s bestfriend and why he doesn’t like huskies

06:24 - Marley’s Barkday party after being in lockdown for almost a year

10:13 - The most popular pawty that pawrents come to Pawtypals for

16:51 - Pawty Packs offered by PawtyPals

20:27 - The Puggie Painting activity

26:44 - Things pug pawrents can do to make Christmas & New Years special without ending up in a vet

38:53 - What took Jess by surprise when she first started PawtyPals

41:05 - The Pawty Pack that pawrents love the most

44:53 - Where to find PawtyPals
