Oh, it’s Monday alright. I made a few decisions these last 3 days (you know, like spending time with my hubby, pups, and family) that sends me into a new week behind on pretty much everything. Yes, I had some coffee (rare for me), but I thought we’d share a little Lilly-style mojo.
So … if you are feeling:
- Under the weather
- Under never-ending deadlines and demands
- Under the influence of negative people or energy
- Under the pressures of worries or emergencies
Then, Lilly and I send you our very best wishes for strength, patience, grace, and productivity via this new video showing … Enthusiasm Border Collie Style.

For 10 full days and counting, I’ve been completely beset by germs. Rotten, rotten germs. While I muddled through interviews and meetings last week by phone, actual writing was another matter. I am, therefore, hopelessly behind. So, for the rest of the week … please enjoy a run of wordless or nearly wordless posts.

Until the winds reached gale force, I worked outside Saturday on the blog and other things so that I will have more time this week for paying clients and money-making deadlines.

One of our Twitter friends (@IntuitiveBridge) recently lost some followers for essentially saying that we shouldn’t make our dogs emotionally responsible for us. The backlash stemmed from this post about separation anxiety, where Bridget said …
“Okay, I bring this up because there are people in the world who treat their dogs like their soul mates, like their bestest friends, like the loves of their lives, like their therapists. There are dogs who can handle this and dogs who can’t. If your dog exhibits signs of separation anxiety, you need to lighten their emotional load. This does not mean putting on a fake happy face. Dogs are not stupid. This means getting the emotional help and connection somewhere away from your pet.”

I had planned a well-crafted update for today, but I lost a chunk of time late this afternoon to several phone calls. I know many of you are worried about Lilly and Tom’s recent medical emergencies. So, just a quick note for now. Both are doing OK. Not great, but OK.

Oh, yeah. It’s another snakebite. Seriously. I do intend to write a whole thing, but I’m just too upset and tired. Lilly spent the day getting on-site treatment at the veterinary hospital, but she is home now.
