Be the Person Your Dog Thinks You Are

Dogs don’t demand much of us. They ask to be loved, fed, taken on walks, and for you to show up exactly as you are. It’s that last one that can feel tricky for many of us. Too often, we bury our unique character underneath the weight of what other people around us expect. Other people’s judgements about what is “good” and “bad” dictate our behavior and feelings of self-worth or shame. Being just who you are can feel like a herculean effort.

How to Shift Your Perception and See the World Through Your Dog's Eyes

Empathy is a skill we as humans don’t use often enough. While it’s true we don’t use empathy enough with our fellow humans, it’s also true when it comes to our four-legged friends. What would change if you shifted your perception and saw your world through your dog’s eyes?

How Your Dog Can Help You Find And Pursue Your Passion

Passion is a tricky thing. It gives you fire, motivation, and a burning desire to contribute. On the flip side, it can make you feel vulnerable and afraid to share your light with the world. It’s safer to keep your passion to yourself where it’s comfortable rather than live it out loud.

A Note To Our Community

* This note was shared via our newsletter, but wanted to share this with our entire community*

I know you’ve received an overflow of emails from companies (many much more knowledgeable and qualified than ours) addressing the widespread impact of COVID-19. I’m not sure what a note from a brand can provide in these anxious and fearful times, however I am finding communication to be more important and honestly, comforting than ever.

Balance Is A Verb

Here at ZUMI. we often talk about what we can learn from our dogs. Whether we’re talking about being a more compassionate or empathetic person or maybe finding more presence in our day to day life…

Dogs just have this shit figured out.

So if you’re here and you possibly agree with our “woo-woo” (or are even just open minded to it), we’ve got some great news for you...

It’s a process. Not an achievement.

You Are What You Seek. Seek The Good Stuff.

Today is a special day at the ZUMI office because we’re celebrating Esha’s 10th birthday!

She’s the last of the office dog birthdays for 2019, so we sorta make a thing of it, even though everyday is a party in Esha’s world.

Also, we do try to keep this level of crazy-dog-people-ness limited to one day a year... you know, for our street cred.
