💖 The Heart Behind the Pink Paw
A Childhood Full of Dogs, Laughter & Mischief
My brother Zach and I grew up side by side — best friends, co-conspirators, and lifelong animal lovers. From our very first cocker spaniel mix (she was both blind and deaf) to Sophie the First, a purebred Cocker, whom he’d take for nights at a time and smuggle into his first apartment, and Sophie the Second, a hyper-active Springer Spaniel, dogs were always part of our story. They were our companions through childhood joy and chaos — and they were there for us during the hardest moments, too.
Zach had a rare spirit. Funny, fiercely loyal, slightly more than a little wild, and full of heart. He made friends with anyone, could quote entire Van Halen albums and Judd Apatow movies from memory, and had a soft spot for every dog he met.
Losing Him Changed Everything
When Zach passed away unexpectedly, my world cracked open.
The grief was overwhelming. But in the midst of that darkness, I kept returning to the things that brought us joy — and dogs were always a part of that.
The more I leaned into that love, the more I realized what I wanted:
A life that brought people together. A business that made dogs (and their humans) happy. A space where connection, community, and kindness could thrive — just like Zach did.
🐾 Why Pink Paw Exists
Pink Paw Patisserie is more than a dog treat truck. It’s my love letter to Zach — and to every person who’s found comfort in the sigh of a warm snuggle puppy.
This truck is full of possibilities; fueled on love and memories. It's filled with the kind of joy only dogs can bring. And every time someone smiles at the window or a pup gobbles up a frosted cookie, I feel like a little piece of Zach is still here with me.
