Zeus's Pawsitive World: 2025 Recap and 2026 Goals!
Once Upon A Time.... A year ended and another one begins
Hi Furiends,
Let me catch you up on what's happened since my last blog post. Sorry for being MIA, but being a CEO (as you know) is very demanding and pulls me in a lot of different directions.
Let's recap from May to December 2025, and then I can share with you my vision for my mom's small business.
2025 was another busy year, hosting lots of fun events and meeting lots of new doggie and human faces. We made a lot of new friends, and our Yorkie group has expanded.
In May mom mom and I hosted a dog mom Puppy Picasso event, where the dogs and their humans painted small canvases. It was so much fun and the artwork was incredible. Who knew that dogs were so artistic?! My mom worked a doggie birthday party, providing her services by teaching people how to make dog necklaces. I didn't go to that because I told her she should focus on the guests and not worry about me. I just hung out at home and slept while she was working. CEO life is pretty great like that!!
Then, for my birthday I had a Rock n Roll themed party! It was awesome. I did a photo shoot and wore my cool leather jacket and shades. Our teepee was decked out in rock n roll gear, with guitars and goodie bags and tons of fun to go around. It was totally a Yorkie party, because a lot of my Yorkie pals came out to celebrate with me. What a great day!!
In June we hosted our first doggie treat baking class and another singles event. We had to cancel a few other events due to no signups. We hate cancelling events and get sad when people don't sign up.
July we hosted 3 incredible events! We had our first ever Bark & Browse, up in Boynton Beach and then we had another first Christmas in July!! That was a hot one, but it was fun and it was something I always wanted to do. We finished the month with an awesome doggie pool party, where my mom planned the whole grand opening event for this dog boarding location. What a blast!! We were even sponsored by PenPen, and they sent us probiotics to hand out to guests.
We hosted a few more events from September to December. We hosted a Yorkie only event with DogDrop Ft. Lauderdale and another PupPaint & Sip with our friend Moab. We had a Halloween Hunt event, where dogs had to sniff out tiny coffins filled with treats. My mom took a long time to prep for that event, goodie bags and all that fun stuff. It was totally fun and all the guests had a blast. We finished the year with our Ugly Sweater Pawty, where dogs and their humans made custom stockings. They even got goodie bags and we were sponsored by The Farmer's Dog. This was a great event and lots of doggies showed up!
This year I want to shift the focus from large events, to smaller ones. It's going to be a great year!
2026 VIBES
Paw + People Collective
I told my mom that I wanted to start focusing on smaller, more curated events. She agreed and put a lot of time and thought into what the next steps for our small business could be. So, we came up with a new concept! Paw + People Collective, which is a membership-based meetup group. The details for each event are revealed after you sign up for a membership. We have different options and it's designed for EVERYONE! The events will be amazing! My mom plans on focusing on the small details and providing intimate experiences on a smaller scale and only for up to 10 people. The events will be focused on wellness, social connection and lifestyle experiences. You should take a look and check it out! Sign up now with our discounted membership option that is valid for any 3 events.
YouTube Channel
I'm also excited to share that I've started my own Youtube channel and one for our small business. Please support our small business and give us a follow, like or share!
MightyMiniZeus - focuses on me being silly and living my daily life
DiscoverFunLife - focuses on our small business, tips & tricks, party prep and educational/informational content
I'll have my paws full this year, and I'll do my best to update everyone once a month!
Ok, that's the update for now!! Stay tuned for more and follow me on IG, YouTube or TikTok
Paws Out,
Zeus
