    S5 EP04: What If Your Pug Could Pay for Their Own Sitter?

    Now, today I have a truly special guest. Ally is the founder of Paw Share Club — a platform built on something we already know is true in this community: dog lovers take care of each other. Paw Share Club turns that spirit into a real, fair system. You help a dog parent with a walk or a sit, you earn points. When your Pug needs care, you use those points. And if you don't have a dog yet? Your points are waiting for you when it’s time for another fur-baby — or you can redeem them as gift cards. It's pet care reimagined through the power of community.

    S5 EP02: Snorts & Shenanigans: A Day in the Pug Life of Dougie and Floyd

    Today, we are entering the wonderfully chaotic Pug Life of our force-free trainer fur-end Sarah Rutten and her dynamic puggie-duo: Dougie and Floyd. Dougie is a sweet king who’s been navigating IVDD like an absolute champ… and Floyd is his unhinged pug missile who cannot resist chomping on Dougie’s tail like it’s a limited‑edition snackie. Sarah spills all the stories — from how she came to being a Pug mum, which was not your typical journey, to her future Pug-family addition which we’re looking forward to meeting mid-year.
