A Happy Dog's a Good Dog, And a Good Dog's a Happy Dog

How to Have a Happy Dog 101

The very first thing one needs to consider, is: Why do you want a dog? A dog is not a toy that you can play with when you want to, and put away when you're done. Nor is it a Trophy to look pretty in your yard. And certainly, it is Not something you can leave out side, or even alone for long periods of time. 

No, a dog is a living, feeling being, with a soul, just like you are and have. 

So, why do you want to have a dog? Really consider your true answer to this question. The best answer I could give, would be, "Because I have a big heart, a big, fenced-in back yard, and I want to give a dog a good, loving home." For me, this means I'd get a rescue dog. 

If you have a desire to make a difference in a dog's life, and have a happy dog, that is the best reason to get a dog.. All it takes to make a difference and have a happy dog, is to provide the proper outlet for your dog's needs.  

So, how do you know if you are providing an outlet for all it's needs? Your dog will let you know by way of any unwanted behavior. 

When excessive barking, daily messing in the house, or digging in the yard cease, you'll know you've reached the level of physical and mental daily exercise your dog is happy with.

The key here is daily. Not just on your days off, or when you feel like it. Just like you, they require daily exercise and activities everyday.

So, remember: A Happy Dog's A Good Dog and A Good Dog is a Happy Dog.

Put Yourself In Your Dog's Paws

Imagine, if you will, being your dog for one day. Left home alone, when wanting to play. 

The wait is long, with nothing to do. Wondering when I will hear from you... 

Alone and bored, I drift off to sleep. If I were your child, you'd hear me weep. 

I'm just a dog, and easy to forget. But please remember you called my your "pet."

I'm not a toy you can put away for the day. I'm a soul, like you, and I love to run and play. 

I need to feel I'm here for a reason, not just for some passing season. 

I'm part of your family for the time we have together. And when I'm gone, these are the days you will remember. 

So, if for one day, you could put yourself in my paws, you'd know what it's like behind closed doors. 

You'd see that I too, am from God above, and I too require your Love.

The Life and Adventures of a Pit Bull Named Leroy Brown: The Sacred Baptism, and Leroy's Gifts

The Sacred Baptism, and Leroy's Gifts

On this, the first anniversary of Leroy's passing, I am honoring him by giving free copies of his e-book, and sharing his gifts again.

On an earlier post, I said I had set an intention to have moved from this home where he passed on this date. The fact is, that I'm still here, and I will be fine, as I also said, in remembering the gifts Leroy left behind.

Of course I know and believe everything happened just as Leroy planned it, and I now see his drowning in our pool as his Sacred Baptism into Heaven. It happened while I was on an evening walk with Chloe.

Now, regarding that intention I set, another fact is, I am leaving here tomorrow! Yes, and I'm sure I'll be remembering Leroy's gifts, as I head out of town!

I'll leave you with Leroy's Gifts here: Leroy's Gifts

And here is a Free copy of Leroy's e-book: The Life and Adventures of a Pit Bull Named Leroy Brown

My tale of woe

Hello Dear Readers,

Today I have a sad tale of woe to share. The one year anniversary of Leroy Brown's passing is coming up next week. I so wanted to move away from here, before that memory comes around. In fact, I've set the intention that I would be out of here by then....

Well, the day will be here Friday, and, so far, (ever the optimist:) I have no place to move into with my other little dog.

So, I learn to take each day with grace, doing my best everyday, and I remain in harmony with all that is. In other words, I fully Surrender to the Universe, and Trust the Universe Loves and supports me for my Highest Destiny.  

If you too are feeling a bit "stuck" at this time, remember to be present in the Now Moment. It is in that Moment, is where you will find Harmony and your Grace.

I will get through this period with ease and grace, as I will also remember the many Gifts Leroy Brown left me. And I Am Grateful.

Know and Trust that you are right where you need to be, for your Highest Destiny. In Nature, flowers surrender to All That Is, and blossom with ease and grace. Let's live in Harmony with Nature.
