My Prince’s Gift: “Connect.” All dogs are pack animals; yet Dachshunds in particular are. There’s a great lesson in how we all inter-relate. My dogs think of me as “just another dog”, albeit head of the pack. In nature, when one of the pack as ill, the mourning would likely be quick. There’s mostly, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Go with the flow.” Today was generally a good day, as a couple of different friends asked me tonight. I find it odd that my life seems to be mostly about how mostly Prince and Blaze do on a particular day. I am fortunate in that I am home with them,, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Face reality.” I wasn’t ready to write more on “Face reality” last night. I could give myself a hard time about it; or I could just accept it. Some of it’s because I suspect I’m going to cry; and I haven’t done much of that in weeks and weeks. Frankly, I’ve, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Be grateful”. I didn’t quite get to our post for last night as I got seduced and lured into snuggling with the yummiest guy … well, it may have been guys and a girl. Nonetheless, pups needed mommy’s undivided attention. Each time I went to type “Be grateful” .. I typed, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Love comes in all forms”. I like the saying about how “love is an action verb” or more than just words. The concept which I am learning to embody, thanks to Prince is that “love is words and actions”; hence, all forms. In one day, I’ve experienced … it’s about trusting, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Enjoy the small things”. Today was completely different than yesterday. I was gone for six hours, and I felt like I imagine perhaps new mothers may feel when they leave their newborn for the first time. This is the longest I’ve been away from Prince’s and Blaze’s sides for weeks. Mommy, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Be where you are.” Today was a rough day. It started out waking up early with Blaze possibly having had a mini-stroke or seizure or he had managed to get to the other side of the bed and was having a dream; he had peed in bed. Usually he sleeps RIGHT, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: Today was a reminder to be gentle with oneself. It’s been a rough and busy few days. More tomorrow on it as Prince is calling me to bed, as he lulled me into a nap today by lying on my chest and insisting we sleep.
