Fear

Fear is Bravery in Reverse...
When I get afraid, I tend to snap at other dogs and even real life people. Last week I was experiencing fear in the way of winter cabin fever and I even snapped at my mommy.

Not good. I got in trouble:(

There are consequences for our actions. Fear DOES give us the right to whimper a bit, and even ask for help by cuddling up to our loved ones; but it DOES NOT give us the right to bite another person...

Today's Challenge: Don't take your fear out on your neighbor. Turn it on its head and be brave.

Miss People and Be Okay with It...

Here is me waiting for my mom at the door of the Paris in Chicago coffee shop. Boy do I miss her when she is away...

Today's Challenge: Let someone else know you care. Stop being ashamed of loving other people. It is a good thing.

Today's Plan

1. Cuddle bunny with mom.

2. Snack all day, even though I'm supposed to be on a diet...

3. Play

4. Cuddle

Today's Challenge: Keep it simple, stupid. Life is easy, when you live it.

I'm Cute

and I don't care who knows that I KNOW it either.

Today's Challenge: Accept your cuteness and don't be afraid to be proud of it either!

Who Says?

Who says you can't nap all day,

Or take a leap in a puddle after the rain?

Who says that you MUST eat dinner at a certain time,

Or skip dessert every night of the week?

Not me. That is for sure.

I live life one day at a time. I march to the beat of a different drum. But I am still considerate of those I love.

Today's Challenge: Do something out of the ordinary that doesn't hurt anyone, including yourself. Rules are often self-imposed walls.

Stop Talking

When I get bored, I bark.

When I want to play, I bark.

When I lose my ball under the sofa, I bark....

But my mom seems to love me most when I am silent, sweet and soft like the wind.

Today's Challenge: Stop making so much noise. People WILL notice you without it. In fact, they may even get to come closer...

Keep on Trying ....

As you know, a few weeks ago I got clipped on accident by a gorgeous greyhound.

Unfortunately, this accident scared me a lot and since then, I have been very skiddish at the park and amidst other dogs.

My mom kept taking me back every day until, guess what?

Yesterday I was able to play with a big dog again at the park.

The benefit of being pushed far outweighed the fear of doing so.

Today's Challenge: Remember that you never let the fear of dying stop you from drinking and drugging, so why would you let the fear of living keep you from doing it?
