Today was one of those moments that just felt meant to happen. ✨🐾
We had the pleasure of welcoming author Niki Cioffi to The Wholistic Paws along with her sweet Chihuahua, Luke Tailwagger— the adorable protagonist behind Tiny Paws, Big World. It was so special getting a glimpse into her book and talking about a possible future collaboration together. 💛
What made it even more meaningful was hearing how she and her mom created the book as a team — with her mom bringing the story to life through the illustrations. It instantly reminded me of my own journey working side by side with my mom Jenny Velez every day. Those family-built dreams really do hit differently. 🥹
And then… as if the universe wanted to make the moment even sweeter, a client walked in during their visit with a long-haired Chihuahua named… Luke. 🐕✨ What are the odds?!
