Welcome to the Curious Me podcast with your host, Mindy Musselman and Emily Fersela.

Do you ever say to yourself, I wonder, if you've got questions about life, we do too.

On each episode, we dive into the things that make us say, hmm.

So let's scratch that curiosity itch and dive into today's show.

Welcome back to Curious Me podcast.

I'm Mindy Musselman here, as always with the

beautiful Emily Fersela. Not today. Of course you are. I'm in sweats. We both have rain

hair. Total rain hair. Yeah. I have major rain hair today. It looked really good this morning,

though. I was like, damn, my hair looks good. And then then mother nature said, psych bitch.

Yep. Yep. That's pretty funny.

Vacated. So we were just talking about a major holiday that's happening tomorrow.

So if you guys, yeah, you're listening this on Tuesday. So this would have been Friday, which is, I'm

surprised it's actually not a national holiday, but it's

Otis's eighth birthday. And if you know who Otis is, that's great. If you don't, that is one of

our bulldogs. Big, big holiday. Yeah, we had a photo shoot. We're recording this on Thursday. We had a

photo shoot this morning with him. My assistant stopped and picked up the cake I ordered for him

and a number eight balloon. It was pouring so we couldn't go out in the yard and shoot any cute

pictures. So we literally just had to shoot him all on the porch. But Otis was not happy about it because

he has a birthday boy bandana on. But the O on boy was a donut. So you would like it. Oh, that's cute.

And then it was 10 o'clock in the morning, and he does not like mornings at all. He likes to get up, go potty, and then just go back to bed to literally like 11 or 12. So he was kind of a grump per usual. You know, I was talking to somebody, a patient the other day, and she was getting ready to start a job as an assistant to a photographer. I was like, why don't, why aren't there more photographers that advertise like dog photo shoots? Yeah. I don't ever see that, but I feel you would be huge. No, I saw one on Instagram of the day. She's actually an end of life pet photographer. So when your dogs get older, she captures the photos, which was really cool because before Ellie, before we had to put her to sleep last year, Sydney, I think it was like maybe, maybe three weeks before or so we did like an end of life photo shoot with Ellie so we can

have like some really good pictures and I'm so happy we did that. But I did see that advertise,

but you're right.
