- A friends grandfather was having a serious surgery today so we had her 3 year old daughter send a video message to him. Unfortunately, he was taken back to preop before he had a chance to watch it but hopefully it will make him smile as he recovers
- While that same friend was out of town to be with family during the procedure, I had her daughter make her a painting for when she returned home
- I also texted a friend who has been having a rough week to see how his day was going.
My heart is smiling this evening. I went on a run with my sister and two of my three dogs. I was so happy because a year ago, running Axle was such a chore. He was mistreated prior to coming into my care so his anxiety caused him attack everything that moved. Bikes, skateboards, motorcycles, etc. would send him over the edge. Now when I run with him he is relaxed and barely gives a glance to stimuli that used to get him upset. We crossed paths with two bicycles during our run and he didn't even look at them. We also came across two dogs that were trying to go after him and, while Axle appeared curious, he was easily redirected with the "leave it" command. It brings me so much joy to know that after a year of dedication and hard work, I finally have a peaceful pack. Besides, how can this face NOT make you smile?
Who did you make smile today?
