00:00 So it was a lockdown project when I decided to change a little bit and move from hospitality

00:10 to another sort of hospitality that was including dogs.

00:14 I've done a lot of courses during the lockdown, like behaviour, nutrition for dogs, and then

00:21 I started like just a hobby, let's say, to build up this project.

00:27 And then I showed someone and they were like, "Wow, this sounds cool.

00:32 Do you want to do the business plan?"

00:34 So I've done the business plan and in the meantime I just decided to do it.

00:38 It was lockdown so it was always like I was walking the dog to the park and there was

00:43 nothing to do.

00:45 And I was checking the location and I was like, "Oh, this is so beautiful next to the

00:48 park."

00:49 It was closed for a long time.

00:53 And so I just hoped that it was becoming available as soon as possible and it did actually, exactly

01:00 when I was looking for the location.

01:03 So it was like this.

01:04 And you get to just spend every day with dogs now basically.

01:05 Is that just like part of it?

01:06 Yeah, it's my life.

01:07 Sometimes it's not easy because the dogs are off the lead all the time.

01:18 So you have to make sure that they don't pee, they don't poop.

01:22 They are like babies, kids, toddlers around.

01:26 And so let's say this sometimes can be very hectic.

01:30 It's not always smooth but it's a good fun.

01:34 And dogs have just the best energy and they're adorable and they always make you smile even

01:41 when it's very hard and you have to go through the day and you're very tired, like me today.

01:47 And then also because it's dog happy but it's also a wine bar as well.

01:51 Yeah, in the evening we do wine bar.

01:54 We organize events like up to, well we don't have a big space so we can do like up to 30,

02:02 35 people.

02:04 With live music, we go to the garden.

02:07 So yeah, the Tuesday and Wednesday we close at five like a normal cafe and then Thursday

02:15 to Saturday we close at nine.

02:17 In summertime obviously we're going to use more the garden.

02:21 It will be sunny at least a few days.

02:28 And what we're planning to do is like doing barbecue on Sunday and just spend the afternoon

02:34 together with the dogs.

02:35 And people obviously without dogs just come.

02:39 Absolutely, everyone is welcome.

02:40 As long as you love dogs because otherwise you'll get annoyed and we don't love people

02:45 that don't love dogs.

02:46 We are very, we want only people that are dogs lover and obsessed, even better.

02:57 And pets in general obviously.
