Here it is already Day 10 of Ten Days of Gratitude from a Dog’s Perspective. As I stated earlier, I could have made this far more than Ten Days of Gratitude so on this last day of this series, I need to lump so many more into Day 10. In other words, I am thankful for EVERYTHING! When I say I am grateful for Alicia and Andy for hosting my website, it is no less gratitude than my…
For Day 9 of Ten Days of Gratitude, I am going to add something that was not on my original list. I am so thankful for my snow maze in the backyard. Often, I read about humans enjoying different kinds of mazes in their lives. There are the corn field mazes, ice mazes and of course snow mazes. OK, so mine isn’t quite as claustrophobic as some of the human mazes; but, I am not complaining….
Merry Christmas! (Ok, I realize this is a day late; but, I seriously wrote it last night and was just too lazy to publish it via the website.) You didn’t think I would forget to write a Christmas blog, did you?! Actually, I can combine my Day 8 of Ten Days of Gratitude with my Christmas greeting. I am so grateful for our visits to the farm! Because of the bitter cold weather, I was unable to run outside a…
Have you ever noticed that so many musicians have dogs as their companions? I think it is a twofold purpose. Dogs love music and musicians love dogs to sit and keep them company for hours of solitude while they are practicing their instruments. You guessed it; day 7 of the Ten Days of Gratitude includes both music and solitude. Think about it. First of all, musicians spend a lot of time in solitude, working often…
Certainly, it was wise of me to state earlier that my Ten Days of Gratitude are not in any particular order. Because, day 6 is going to address all the humans that I am so grateful for in my life. Where do I start? From my home companions, breeder, my blog creator and hosts to my amazing Vet Clinic team, I can never give ample gratitude to them. When I think about all of these people,…
Here we are already at Day 5 of the Ten Days of Gratitude and the more I write about my gratitude, the more grateful I become. Some of you will cringe when I say my 5th day captures my gratitude for SNOW! Originally, snow was not even on my list until the obvious kept appearing before my every moment. You must keep in mind that I am not the one who has to shovel it or plow it;…
Friends, specifically my neighbor Peanut shall be my Day 4 of Ten Days of Gratitude😉! Whether you are a dog or human, we all need friends. Of course, I live with my best friends; but, I welcome many others. Sometimes, I meet a new friend for only a brief visit. You know how that occurs from such a variety of activities each day. I value all my friends from long term friends to those brief encounters. Peanut is that adorable…
Never underestimate how much I love sleep and rest, even if I love to be active too! Remember how I stated that my list of gratitudes contained far more than ten? Well, on day three of my Ten Days of Gratitude, I am choosing both sleep and rest as one. However, as you are probably already aware, sleep and rest are quite different. In G. Divanshi’s article “Difference Between Sleep and Rest” she defines sleep as ” an unconscious…
By now, some of you may be imagining what my list will include for the Ten Days of Gratitude from a Dog’s Perspective. Others will be contemplating their own gratitudes for their lives. Whichever it is, we are in a better place when we are grateful, instead of dwelling on any negative thoughts. Actually, as I was thinking about my Ten Days of Gratitude, I realized the list could have been far longer. I hope that you…
As I am resting on my couch this quiet Tuesday morning, I decided that I think the world needs to focus on things to be grateful for this December. So, let this be the first day of the Ten Days of Gratitude from a Dog’s Perspective to Humans. I am so thankful for a loving home which is really quite obvious to all of you. Yup, I am rather spoiled with love. Gosh, many dogs have to stay outside…
It is quite reassuring to know that I don’t seem to deal with some of the human emotions that tend to plague humans. I think the only thing I become anxious about is when my own humans become anxious and then, they seem to calm down when they witness any hint of stressing me out. It is like I am a multimeter to measure stress because the minute I sense it, I have a built-in ability to relieve…
Hello again! After allowing Nancy to write the blog last week, I suppose you may appreciate my writing more?! Lighthearted does not quite define her, yet that is where I come to her aid. We all have those humans or pets that seem to bring us back to reality. During the month of December, I hope you will enjoy the beauty of the Christmas season as much as I do. I love all the lights from the…
