Mia Has a Love-in With Her Human Parents Today

DateSaturday, September 18, 2010 at 10:50AM

Isn't it fun to have special moments in your life or watch others? I find when dogs connect with their humans it is rather special.

Dawgs don't care about bad haircuts or bad smells  they only care if their human is off kilter. It's amazing how intuned they can get with you.

But some are strong willed and ooops can even be demanding and sometimes we just indulge out of love and then can't understand why our cuties are demanding. What do we do if we find ourselves in such a crazy circle? With kids we used to call it 'tough love' and it's similar with the dawg crew. Rules and boundaries lend comfort and in reality ARE love!

So, if you are allowing something because they are just soooooooooooo cute and you can't help it, well step back and start over and say no. That cute thing can snowball and become a huge irritation. It can't be something you say - today it is cute - tomnorrow I have no patience for it. Consistency is important no matter how much life gets in the way. But life DOES get in the way and when it does, you start again and that's okay.

Nothing is perfect except in our own minds at times. :-)

For those that posted about Whitney, thank you for helping with this journey. It's one of the hardest ones we face and we all have to eventually. She's up early today, no seizures and enjoying the little ones.
