No Woofs Given

I strut through life with zero cares,
A tangled mop of windswept hairs.
The mailman knocks? I barely flinch—
Not barking back, not budging an inch.

No leash, no rules, no nervous ticks,
I nap through chaos, sleep through tricks.
You dropped your food? I might take part—
But only if it stirs my heart.

The cat walks by? Let her parade.
I’m too refined for petty shade.
A squirrel scrambles? Let it run—
I’ve better spots to catch the sun.

Drama? Nope. I just recline,
A zen-like master, tail divine.
The world can spin, can bark, can spin—
No woofs are given. I always win.

How could someone do this to such a beautiful soul?

Step 1: Get coffee
Step 2: Find a quiet space
Step 3: Listen to Boone's story.
Step 4: Comment on this post what your thoughts are about Boone. Did you fall in love with him like I did?

How could a human do this to such a sweet soul. Boone has been through so much in his life and still has a heart of gold. Listen to his story and how our p...

The dayCARE pups are preparing for art class next week. I am not kidding when I say the Kindergarten teacher in me is still just beneath the surface. I am preparing a bulletin board for the pups to display their art. I want to include a saying on the bulletin board to tie it all together. Can you help me decide on what saying to use?

I have included some short sayings I could use, but I can't decide. What do you like best? Feel free to include one that I haven't pictured here. I am open to suggestions.

For the Van Gogh, I would change it to "There is nothing more artistic than to love a dog" if that one was chosen.

Write the one you like best in the comments. I am excited to see the results. I appreciate the help. There are just simply too many good ones to decide on my own.

So much goes on in dog play both good and bad. Knowing when to press the "pause button" can keep dog play at its best. Knowing the signals and signs to look for are paramount. Once you know the signals to look for, you can monitor dog play with confidence. Use the techniques I use and what I teach in my dayCARE employees to keep the daycare running smoothly with little to no incidents. There is a time to press "PLAY" and a time to press "PAUSE". Know the difference. Listen now!

Do you or have you ever had a SOUL DOG? You know, that dog. That dog that is unlike any other dog. The dog that you could talk about for hours. The dog that makes your eyes well up with tears. That dog that just got you. The dog that was so special no other dog can hold a candle.

Would you like to be on the podcast and talk about your SOUL DOG? No video. Just a talk. Just chit-cat.

Let me know! Send me a message and we'll set it up. Nothing fancy, just a sweet story.

A tail that wags with morning light,
Bright eyes that chase the breeze in flight,
A nose to nudge, a bark to cheer,
The dog I love is always near.

He greets the dawn with bounding feet,
No need for words, his joy’s complete.
A squirrel darts, a stick is tossed—
Each moment found, no moment lost.

Through muddy fields and puddled ground,
He leads me where pure joys are found.
His ears perk up at slightest sound,
A guardian where love is bound.

At night he curls beside my bed,
Soft dreams of bones and parks ahead.
And in his sleep, a gentle sigh—
A friend whose heart will never lie.

No greater gift could life allow,
Than fur and soul, and gentle brow.
A dog, who loves without pretense,
The world made whole in his presence.

And this is EXACTLY why Grooming By Brytany and I teamed up and her salon is parked next to my studio. I will only send dogs and puppies to her. They deserve kindness, patience, guidance and professionalism in a calm and force free environment. I am so proud of Gus' mom and Brytany for working together to make Gus' experience a good one. It doesn't happen overnight but with time and willingness, grooming can be a positive experience. If you want the best, look no further. ❤️❤️❤️

I was inspired by artwork that stopped my scroll while on social. Looking at this photo resonated with me because I was feeling that right now. To see the entire piece of artwork, check out my stories.

There is a narrow view of where you are at with your goals, your training, your whatever you are working, and then there is the wide angle. Do you ever go back and look how far you have come? Even though you feel like you are not making any progress, could it be that you are simply on a flat spot on the path up the mountain? This relates to dog training or any mountain you are climbing.

Throw back Thursday when I was bottle feeding these precious souls around the clock. One of the best experiences I have had. They taught me so much. I will do this again one day. Bottle feeding these pups was so much work but the most rewarding EVER!
