Excellent piece. Wish I'd read it BEFORE I took the LAST 35 years ago. I might be a lawyer today....

Did you want to be a lawyer?? You’ve done so much good in the world with the work you chose to do - I wouldn’t change a thing about about life ❤️

Great reminder- practice, practice, practice and progress, not perfection. 💚

Yes, exactly! Perfect is the enemy of good!

Wow, you are so much better of a dog parent than I.

I believe the path is wide for good dog ownership. In my next post, I’ll be talking about all the mistakes I made with my first two dogs, but you know what? They were fine. They were loved and happy. We get to define our own version of “good dog parent.”

Perfect reminder to practice somewhere the learning didn’t happen. Shiloh does well at obedience class. Take her outside and she says, “What obedience?” I guess we have a task for the upcoming time off!

This is how Pants acts when someone breaches the perimeter (gets on the porch)! She definitely needs more work!!

Listen, I tried to read this to her, but she insisted on running around with a destroyed toy in her mouth and didn't listen AT ALL, so she doesn't get to be offended by what I said about her.
