Looking ahead to 2026:

A dog handler's New Year resolution:
Train hard, try new things, be adventurous.
Learn more, smile more, only cry happy tears.
Make memories worth sharing.
Realize trophies and ribbons are nice, but the true test of a dog and handler is the bond.
Spend more time training.
Thank the people who support me more.
Ignore the ones who don't.
Never let fear define me.
Keep the dog room cleaner and neater.
Realize how lucky lam to have two working legs to run with my dog.
Volunteer to help those who don't have that privilege.
Make new friendships, but get back in touch with old dog friends.
Take more hikes, long walks and time for reflection.
AND MAKE THE NEW YEAR ONE TO REMEMBER!

“The dogs I know have more soul, more heart, more love, more connection, more patience, and more softness than any human I’ve ever met. They don’t ask for anything, no explanations, no justifications. They just stay, steady and sure, as if they’ve always known what you need before you do.

People complicate love. They wrap it in conditions, dress it in expectations. Dive it towards pain and disappointment. A dog doesn’t do that. Their love is raw, honest, and without strings. Without complications. They see you..not the version you show the world, but the one you keep buried. And they love that version most of all.

I’ve met plenty of people, but none have ever matched the soft, gentle loyalty of a dog. They don’t try to fix you; they just sit beside you, whole and true. Through thick and thin. And that’s more than most humans will ever understand.”
