We’ve all been there, you’re having a bad day and your pet is just *really* good at making it worse😅
⠀
Even with Cricket being as easy going as she is, if I’m stressed out by life, working with Crick can feel like the hardest task imaginable.
On days like this, I opt out of working heavily with Cricket, whether this means putting off training or outings and sometimes even walks.
I do this because working with her while I’m having a hard time generally only exacerbates my bad attitude and leaves us both feeling frustrated by the interaction. So on days like this, we take it easy. We go out back and we play ball, we get out lickmats and food puzzles.
It’s okay to take rest days, even from your pet!! They will not suffer from a day without a visit to the park. But what will suffer is your relationship with them if you are consistently burning yourself out.
⠀
There is no competition for best pet parent, there is no award. So take a breath, give yourself grace and take the rest days when you need them!
