Ever Wonder Who Our Logo Was Inspired By?
It's none other than Stormaggedon, affectionately known as Stormy, Storms, or the OG. While reflecting on our commitment to transparency and open communication, we felt it was important to share this little piece of our brand's story with you. It all began with a wagging nub that shaped so much of what Lucky Paws BCS has become.
Storms' story began with him being found on the side of the road — a skinny, 14-week-old pup. We saw his post on a Facebook group, and after sending a screenshot to my then-boyfriend, we were at PetSmart picking him up (he looked like a puppy version of our older dog, Rocket). We quickly discovered he had a ton of quirks, including hating his kennel and any boxes in existence, and throwing anything within reach. He also battled seizures and cryptorchidism, and over time developed a fear of strangers. We took him to Buddy's Place Canine Behavior Training, and she confirmed our fear: Storms had been severely abused before he was found.
He was a constant presence during my pregnancies, offering comfort when I needed it most. He loved his baby humans with his whole heart, giving them unlimited kisses whenever he was near them. Unfortunately, Storms never fully trusted anyone outside our family unit, making it impossible to find consistent pet care.
In January of 2022, during an emergency visit to South 40 Vet Hospital, we faced the devastating news of Storms' cancer diagnosis. During his cancer journey, we rebranded — honoring him with our logo, with many, many thanks to Ment Marketing. Our hospice vet helped him live another 17 precious months. He was my companion, always waiting for his Starbucks stop. Until one day, he didn't want to go. He passed away peacefully under his favorite tree three days later, with his favorite humans and hospice vet by his side.
His legacy lives on in our commitment to treat every pet in our care like our own — carrying on his loving nature in every visit we make at Lucky Paws BCS.
