Life With Three Senior Dogs: Sometimes You Just Need a Break From Them Too!
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a dog person.
I grew up with dogs my entire life and when I first moved in with my husband, we had a total of 4 dogs all in one very small townhouse. I came with 2, he had 1 and then we ended up with 1 other together. I admit, that was too many dogs. We’re down to three and they are all senior citizens with missing teeth and various minor ailments.
How full is YOUR bucket?
This really makes a difference in your happiness level! If you are unfamiliar with the concept check out the book “How full is your bucket?” by Tom Rath and Donald O. Clifton (it even comes in a kid’s version). We both read this book and greatly agreed with the general concept that each of us has a bucket that is constantly being filled or emptied, depending on our interactions with others. When our bucket is full we feel great, but when it is empty, we feel awful (p 15). How do we keep it full? Spend some time thinking about the things that make you happiest and check back here for tips!
