Eight Things That Will Dampen Your Dog’s Spirit

You’re Upset, Your Dog is Upset

Nothing dampens your dog’s spirit more than having you, his/her beloved owner, be sad or mad. I know, sometimes it can’t be helped. Into every life, your as well as your dog’s, there are times when the rain must fall. But next time this happens, see if you can find the presence of mind to look into the sad or scared reflection of your mood in your dog’s eyes and determine to do things differently. Determine to let go of whatever’s bothering you, embrace yourself with compassion and forgive others. Want to live rather than dampen your dog’s spirits? Next time it rains, put on your emotional boots and find a puddle in which to splash around.
