Episode 35. The Great Adventures of Paddington & Zurich: A Follow-Up with Carla & Wayne Greenside
Today we’re welcoming back Carla & Wayne Greenside. When we last spoke on Episode 21, Carla & Wayne shared the story of the unlikely friendship of Paddington the Morgan Horse and Zurich the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. Carla & Wayne wanted to further share Paddington & Zurich’s friendship by creating a children’s book about the unlikely duo.
I’m excited to share that The Great Adventures of Paddington & Zurich is now available to pre-order and will ship out on February 14. There are 2 versions of the book, a picture book for younger children and a chapter-book novel for older kids.
Carla & Wayne also share their experiences competing in American Kennel Club Conformation dog show competitions with Quinn, the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog and Instagram Dog-fluencer. They gave me a Dog Show 101 Tutorial as I’m completely unfamiliar with this world!
Carla, Wayne & I discuss:
How their vision for a children’s book came to life;
The moral of the story;
Keeping Paddington & Zurich’s memories alive;
Quinn’s entry into the world of AKC dog shows;
