I had yesterday and today off as it was my birthday yesterday and I wanted time to recover from the day’s excesses. But it’s Holly’s birthday today so we went out on a pub lunch date 🥰🥰🥰. She was a little unsure at first but calmed down once her bowl of chips arrived 🥰.
The first collage is from her 1st birthday, she is 6 today and I’ve walked her since she was 12 weeks old 🥰🥰🥰

Don’t forget this at Christmas 🥰🥰🥰

Christmas foods and drinks can be just as tempting for pets as they are for us. However, not all festive goodies are safe for our furry friends. Our guide below breaks down which holiday treats make a good Christmas dinner for them, and which should be kept out of their paws 👇

“Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day.
It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them.”
John Grogan - Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World's Worst Dog, 2005.

This starts my 22nd year of teaching middle school. Yesterday was quite possibly one of the most impactful days I have ever had.
I tried a new activity called “The Baggage Activity”. I asked the kids what it meant to have baggage and they mostly said it was hurtful stuff you carry around on your shoulders.
I asked them to write down on a piece of paper what was bothering them, what was heavy on their heart, what was hurting them, etc. No names were to be on a paper. They wadded the paper up, and threw it across the room.
They picked up a piece of paper and took turns reading out loud what their classmate wrote. After a student read a paper, I asked who wrote that, and if they cared to share.
I’m here to tell you, I have never been so moved to tears as what these kids opened up and about and shared with the class.
Things like su***de, parents in prison, drugs in their family, being left by their parents, death, cancer, losing pets (one said their gerbil died cause it was fat, we giggled😁) and on and on.
The kids who read the papers would cry because what they were reading was tough. The person who shared (if they chose to tell us it was them) would cry sometimes too. It was an emotionally draining day, but I firmly believe my kids will judge a little less, love a little more, and forgive a little faster.
This bag hangs by my door to remind them that we all have baggage. We will leave it at the door. As they left I told them, they are not alone, they are loved, and we have each other’s back.
I am honored to be their teacher.

Look at those faces. Staying with these 3 (Bertie is on watch upstairs) for the next ten days and then I’m off to another doggo for the following 3 weeks. The longest I’ve been away from home. It’ll be almost Christmas Day when I next sleep in my own bed 🥰

Staying with this lovely boy this weekend. The fireworks don’t normally bother him but the bloody air bombs are ridiculous. Fireworks never used to be this loud! 🙁
