With the holidays around the corner, it's time for me to share this wonderful graphic that I made years ago with my friend Miranda from The Mindful Canine. We help to provide translations to dog "meltdowns" over the holidays so that families can be more compassionate.

Meltdowns don't mean...
I'm "crazy"
I have no manners
I don't like your family or friends
I am antisocial
I am being defiant
I am trying to embarrass you
I don't like you anymore
I wanted to destroy the gifts / decorations
I am a bad dog

Meltdowns MAY mean...
I'm very excited
I need more practice
Meeting new people is hard
The kids are too loud
I don't understand what you are asking
I am stressed out
I need a break
I am bored
I need a walk / need to potty
The gifts looked like toys
I need help to resist food temptations

ps. Kids are the same!

Oh Vito, we’re so proud of you.

This senior cat has come so far since he arrived at our shelter last year. Painfully withdrawn and in poor physical condition, Vito required a lot of care, medical treatment, and time to heal and decompress from his former hardscrabble life outdoors. With his diabetes and other health issues well-managed, he looks and feels great, and his transformation from super-shy guy to low-key attention-lover and part-time lap cat is nothing short of remarkable.❤️

We are open for adoptions today from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm and Sunday from noon to 3:00 pm, and our Adoption Team is looking forward to helping you make the most of Adopt a Senior Pet Month! Check out our website to learn all about adopting from HART, view a listing of available cats, and access our online adoption application: www.hartofme.org/adoption-information. We ask that all prospective adopters have an approved application before arriving at the shelter.
