Making People Feel Guilty Is Never a Good Idea...

Today I did not want my mom to go to work.

So, what did I do?

I put on my most pathetic face...see example.....

and my mom said, "Wait a minute, this is very very sad for me, Sam..."

So, I thought about some things and I realized that just because I am cute, doesn't mean I should use it to make others feel bad for taking care of themselves.

Today's Challenge: Keep your cuteness to yourself. Let others be free to live and have successes in their lives too. Trust me, the more you make others feel free to fly, the more they will be interested in coming back to you...

Today's Challenge...

Curl up in a ball and take a nap....

Happy New Year

Happy, Happy New Year from Sam the Sober Pup
I am hanging with my momma and eating treats and stuff.

I wish you all a happy year
with lists of gratitude
With hugs and treats and all those neats
And loved ones even too.

I gnaw my bone to happiness
and health and human kind

For peace and love
and a warm fuzzy hug
when you are feeling blue.

Yes, happy, happy New Year
to you and you and yours,

Thanks for your time in reading my rhyme

I'll be back real soon with more.

Find a Balance

I like having my friend Honey Bear over.
I mean, after all, we play and tark (balk/talk) and rough house and cuddle.
She just came over for 5 whole days, which was cool, because I never had to be alone -EVER.

Like most good pups, I really, well, kind of like don't EVER want to be alone.

That being said, after a week or so of constant companionship, my mom and Yvonne both had to leave today to get some work done....

Well, as you might expect, I was not thrilled.....until, that is...I saw that mom was giving me a chicken flavored treat...AND put on the animal planet for me.

I mean, I GUESS I could find it in me to be a little uncomfortable for the sake of a treat.
And, after all, absence only makes the heart grow fonder:)

Today's Challenge: Take some time to be alone. Get yourself a treat. Relax.
Find something enjoyable about your personality. Trust that this alone time won't last forever. Nothing does.

Gosh I Am Cute Today

Okay, so I had to go to the groomer yesterday, because, well, I stunk...

(hee hee).

I also had to get my woobie groomed because, well, it was stinky winked out as well...

pew wee....

I hate the idea of going to the groomer, but once I do, boy do I LOOOOVEE the drying part.
I even like to pretend like I am at the groomer when my mom does her hair in the mornings..woot woot!

Look at how beautiful I turned out..and a little lighter around the waste, if I do say so myself...

Today's Challenge: Do something you don't like the idea of, but know will make you feel better anyway.

Look in the Mirror and Like What You See!

Today, I decided to really take a look at myself and to think...wow.., "You are a okay!" That would be nice, I thought, for a change, as opposed to finding every little part of my doggie hair or my figure that just don't work exactly like I want them too.

And after a good look, I think I am pretty cute, you?

What are You Doing for the Holidays?

What are you planning to give instead of receive this holiday season?

That is what I've been thinking about, anyway.

That is why I am giving extra kisses, extra cuddle time and less barking.

Come on, jump on my band wagon and think of someone other than yourself today.

Besides, you may get a treat in the process!!
