2026: The Year We Commit to Our Pets

 

Yes.
I am wearing a headband.
Yes, I brought my emotional support water bottle.
Yes, I look like I own a VHS copy of “Sweatin’ to the Oldies.”

And NO — this does NOT mean I am suddenly “a gym guy.”

It means it’s New Year’s Eve, and everyone is pretending they’re about to become a brand-new person tomorrow.

Listen closely, because I am about to say something important while dressed like this:

You can absolutely join a gym.
You can buy the shoes.
You can promise yourself “this is the year.”

And then, statistically speaking… you will disappear by mid-January like a forgotten resistance band.

BUT YOUR PET?
Your pet does not get to quit.

They wake up every day like:
“Hello. I am still here. I still require food. Enrichment. Supplements. Stability. Love. Possibly snacks.”

And THAT is why 2026 starts at Zoomies & Purr.

Because my humans help you:
 Pick better food without panic
 Add supplements without spiraling
 Build enrichment that doesn’t require a spreadsheet
 Create routines you can actually maintain
 Keep your pet healthy long after your gym phase ghosts you

You don’t need perfection.
You don’t need discipline.
You don’t even need matching sweatbands (though I look incredible).

You just need a plan — and people who help you stick to it.

So come by today.
Let’s start the year strong.
Let’s start it smart.
Let’s start it with snacks, support, and a little bit of chaos.

I’ll be here.
Hydrated.
Motivated.
Judging gently.
