We are kicking off our two week fall break today. 🍂🎃
Vacation time is something we do as regularly as finances allow and each time we do it these days, we think about how increasingly necessary it is. How important it is for all of us to protect our time, our wellbeing, and our ability to do this work sustainably in a world and a culture that often makes that hard.
This week, we’re going to share some content targeted to helping everyone navigate the hard stuff and find the possible for themselves and the dogs they love.
We’re starting today with our fellow pet pros. This post is written from a trainer perspective but we know this page is also followed by pet sitters, vet staff, and shelter/rescue staff and volunteers. Today’s share from the blog is for all of you - all of us. ❤️
In a field working with sentient creatures you love and often encounter in distress it is too easy to give so much that you start to lose yourself. When we do that, sometimes without noticing that we are, our ability to do this work well and sustainably is compromised.
We want to do this work to the best of our ability and we want you to as well. We hope this post is a small source of help for doing just that:
