Why I Chill...

Hey Friends! 

Today I want to talk about the importance of slowing down. 

I love to chase things.

Between chasing food as it drops to the floor, and chasing the chipmunk in the backyard, 

I wear myself out sometimes. 

It is so hard to stop running around. 

Do you ever have a hard time time slowing down? 

One thing I try to do for myself every day is find a quiet time, just for me. 

Sometimes I take a snooze on the couch. 

Other times I lay on the nice cool floor. 

I think we all need to take a minute to slow down and rest each day. 

What do you do to find peace? 

Love, Socks

 

I like me... and I like you too!

 Hi Friends! It's me, Socks. 

How is it going with you?  I've been super busy lately guarding the couch from other pups and pulling my owner down in the grass, but I am taking a minute to let you know that you are valuable. 

See, I know that, because I had to learn that I am valuable too. 

I used to feel bad when other pups sat on my couch and tried to get pets from my owner. I thought that if another dog got attention, that I was not so important anymore, and I used to bully them to get them to leave, so I could snuggle my owner all by myself. 

But, I learned something. My value does not depend on someone else's value. I am important and lovable no matter what anybody else says or does. Even if Buddy comes over and drinks from my water dish, I am still a valuable pup. Nobody can take my value away, because I was made well, to be the guardian of this couch. 

You were made well too. You are valuable. You are worthy. I like you. 

I like me... and I like you too!
