King Hygge of the Krewe of Contentment wishes everyone a happy Mardi Gras! But wait, is that a squirrel watching the parade!!

We have patience with humans who need time to process what we are asking of them. We need to show our dogs the same respect. Have patience. I know with my own dog, he often takes a bit of time to do what I ask of him. He isn't running around doing other things, rather he is sitting or standing, looking at me and mentally processing the information. And often that information includes what is going on around him. Simply waiting for him is the correct and respectful thing for me to do. Pushing your dog or rushing them won't help. Simply give them time.

Hygge and I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year filled with love, happiness, and joy for you, your family and your canine companions!
