Not. Feelin. It.

Friends I got to be honest…today I was thinking I could go for my usual exploration but just am Not. Feelin. It.

The weather dude this morning was all excited about an ice storm coming (insert eyeroll if that was possible). I realize I should get outside and sniff around before the wind starts blowing, but I just want to dig up the blankets and cuddle down. So I did. That is one of the many great things about my elite canine status. My hoomans have to rush around in the morning – but not this Jack. I get to take all the covers and doze the day away.

So as I was trying to hide from the light of the bathroom door, I got to thinking…if I am feeling like this…and I am the world’s most courageous and adventurous canine explorer…then maybe other explorers are feeling the same!

So I want to let you know, if you are not feeling overly adventurous this week, that is ok. If you eat a few extra treats or let the squirrels run around the yard stealing birdseed like nobody’s watchin (I see you) – that is ok too. Sometimes you need to let the truck drop off the packages without a fuss, take a longer nap than you had planned and wait for the storm to pass.

In the meantime, remember not to bite. I’m not sayin you gotta wag your tail about every little thing – but be nice and try to show a little kindness. Everyone (even if they growl) are going through something. We all want someone who will listen, toss the ball in yard, and to call us in from out of the cold.

Take care of each other ok? I’ll bark with you next week.

Your friend,
