Somehow in the craziness of the last few weeks…. Pawradise Pet Care officially turned one 🥹🐾
The best, most rewarding, challenging, chaotic, exhausting, hilarious and totally worth it year I could have ever imagined.
And while this milestone is incredibly exciting, it’s also one of the most bittersweet things I’ve ever celebrated. My mom was a huge part of what Pawradise has become. Although I desperately tried to convince her to become my employee (I begged… she still said no 😂) She was still always my behind the scenes business partner, biggest supporter, and occasional voice of reason
She listened to every crazy business idea, supported every decision I made, celebrated every little win, and was always standing on the sidelines cheering me on. And if I needed a fundraiser basket, raffle basket, donation, sign, craft, decoration, or some random creative idea I came up with at the last minute(which happened very often) she was my go to. She somehow always made whatever crazy thing I dreamed up come to life.
Losing her just three weeks ago makes this first birthday of Pawradise feel so different than I ever imagined. Even in the last 3 weeks there have been so many things I wish I could call her about, tell her about, or hear her opinion on. But I know she is still with me, and I will continue to honor her every single day through this business that she helped me build this year🤍
And WOW… what a first year it has been.
This year brought SO many firsts: my first year as a business owner, my first year having employees, my first clients, fundraisers, vendor events, business meetings, overnights, weddings and a million moments of “wait…I’m actually running a business??”
