Many of us lead very busy and stressful lives. In fact, as adults, we often have different roles and responsibilities such as being a spouse, a parent, an employee, and so on...
The pressure to do it all, affects our environment more than we can imagine.
On the other hand, our pets also experience stress, which is very similar to the type of stress children experience. For instance, they wonder about things such as:
“Shoot, I need to pee!”

Have you noticed how happy your dog/cat is when you get home?
Of course you have! And doesn't it make you feel special? Can you imagine your boss being this happy to see you tomorrow morning? Joking aside, I came to realize that I need to implement zen practices at home. It is important that I take some time to appreciate my dog and show him how much I love him.
I challenge myself to start the following:
1. Date night. Take a walk with my dog and tell him how my day went.
2. Improve his nutrition. Buy better quality food.
3. Buy him toys so he can play during the day.

5. Get him a professional massage (I heard Brandy's offers massotherapy for dogs).

I grew up with dogs, and don't have one with good reason - I know how much attention one needs to be happy.
My lifestyle doesn't lend itself to it, but this all sounds great if you can pull it off while working!
D.fois je dort en cuillere avec mon gros minou...ronron assuré!!!
When I had my golden retriever, I used to play with him and let him run in the backyard! He loved it and it made him so happy.
I bought him a little brother to play. It gives me more work, but at least I know they have each other during the day.
If you're going to have a dog in the city, may as well have two so they don't get bored. If you live in the countryside, your dog can probably handle being alone during the warm days, running around outside. If someone is home at different times of the day, you could get away with having one dog; he/she will have some company. And remember, dogs are good listeners.

Thanks for the invite to your new blog. I have 3 dogs and find the content very entertaining and useful. For this post, my suggestion is to leave them something to do. They are like kids, if they don't have toys, they will find themselves some other activities to do. You can buy your dog some toys, leave him music so the house is not too quiet. You can do like me and buy another dog!
Hide a bone in his toys, he'll play all day without being bored. Let me know.
