When a walk with your dog isn't going well, cutting it short isn't defeat. It's wisdom. #permission #abortmission

During college, I was a conservation intern at The New England Aquarium. Working with the penguins was the dream. Think they’d have 54-year-old me back as a intern for this project? 🥹

I’m keeping the idea of kindness in all things close to my heart these days. Also, the world needs more drawings of dogs in cowboy hats sharing horse toys with their cat friends, amiright?

📣YOUR ONE THING for Thursday:

🛍️ FINISH your shopping today, so you can participate in the economic blackout tomorrow.

❓WHY? This is a protest- & you don't even have to go anywhere! Demonstrate that we're angry about what's happening, care enough- & are coordinated enough- to act together.

✨Spend 5-10 minutes before walks playing an indoor game.

✨Walk your dog with two leashes clipped to the front and back of their harness.

✨Use a longer leash.

✨Let your dog sniff and linger on the scent.

✨Keep expectations realistic, especially if your dog was cooped up most of the day!
