Genuinely devastated the days are now getting shorter. I absolutely love how much energy exists when the days spread on forever.

[Sarah Deering @COpetprograms]

We had a little incident the other day that reminded me of the difference between reacting and responding... tell us what you think!

It's #ruff out there folks. Errrr.... should I say it's #ruff at home?
Knowing more about what's happening in the brain can help prevent or reverse burnout. We have a few pet-assisted strategies to help too!

Whether you already experienced PTSD symptoms, or have developed them through the pandemic -- we're all STRUGGLING right now folks. Understanding why can help relieve some of the stress and help restore positivity. Here's why:

Self-care around the holidays seems a little absurd, but don't forget to give yourself that gift this season too!

Pick one of these and make it your present to yourself this week. You deserve it!

Farrah is an incredible example of how brilliant and beautiful overcoming trauma can be. When she first came to live with us, she had NO FUR -- can you believe that?!

Get to know more about Farrah's story here:

The brain is a complicated space, and the developing brain is even more challenging to understand.; but the more we know about what is happening internally for children, the more we can help them during uncomfortable emotions!

@marmaid88 Babes said he was going to get me a mixer because he thinks it’s really cool and wants one.

Then we had a conversation about what “gifts” are supposed to be 😝

[Sarah Deering @COpetprograms]

@TanaAmen I love this. Having grown up with a disabled mother though, I know her “effort” was not always in her control. Sometimes she wanted to give a lot more than her body would allow. Just a thought. #spoontheory

Colder temperatures are here and although holiday parties are more or less off the table this year, we are working with some local companies to bring virtual and/or socially distancing approved doses of animal office cheer regardless this season.

What happened when the Babes and I got into and my angry parts came out? Uh oh. Better read to find out!

This right here is what drives most of what I do. We have evolved alongside dogs and now carry an intense responsibility to manage that bond for the benefit of everyone involved.

If you're passionate about the #humananimalbond, please reach out!

Did you know that their sniffers (aka noses) are what helps dogs to live so mindfully?

Farrah LOVES sniffing out treats in puzzles. Have you ever tried any of these exercises with your puppers?

@LPage303 But how do you see them?

[Sarah Deering @COpetprograms]

@KevinR70 @KyleClark Unfortunate but well-said.

[Sarah Deering @COpetprograms]

This is admittedly one of my messier posts, but I'm going to let that be what it is, because #grief is messy.

How about you -- have you shared any of these thoughts during loss? Any tips?

Sometimes I wish everything was this black and white. I always wish everything was this adorable.

Everyone, meet Smokey and Toast 😁 - the BEST of friends despite their differences.

Sputnik and Farrah are both incredibly strong independent females... who love to cuddle. (like their mom).
If you're looking for your soft spot to rest, we'd like to help:
