Today we’re welcoming two guests to the podcast!
First we’ll meet Michelle Dumont who created a series of children’s books based on Phoebe Cakes, the tiny special needs bulldog who spent 4 amazing years with Michelle & her family.
While Michelle always thought of herself as a “cat person,” she quickly fell in love with dogs after her sons' campaign for a canine family member.
When looking to adopt a bulldog from a local rescue, Michelle wasn’t deterred when she learned that her family was 21st on a list of applicants for a bulldog who needed some extra special attention. And it was meant to be when Phoebe joined their family.
From rides to Starbucks to her Mardi Gras Barkus Parade “float,” Phoebe lived and loved to the fullest. Michelle’s books continue to spread Phoebe’s zest for life to children with her fun interactive books.
I even learned some new dog breeds in Phoebe Cake’s Alphabet Tails! And how to pronounce Xoloitzcuintli.
Next we’ll meet young entrepreneur Ari Minkus, the founder of Always Happy Pets.
As a middle schooler, Ari created his company to provide high-quality sustainable gift baskets for dogs filled with treats and toys - which ship nationwide!
Ari shares what inspired him to start this venture, how he sources the products and why he stopped using actual baskets and what he uses instead.
We’ll also learn how COVID affected his schooling and his plans for the future. I think it’s safe to say this young man has a bright future ahead!
