What do you say when … ?
I like to think I’m pretty self-aware. I know why I am the way I am. And, I think I know my motivation. Yet … if I had a nickel for every time someone questions my motivation for continuing to work and hope with Lilly, I’d be a rich girl, who could quit her job and just be a full-time puppy mom. Now, I really do think about the why and how of everything I do with Lilly, but for some reason, it always catches me off guard a bit when someone suggests I give up, back off, step back, stop trying so hard.
Maybe it’s the long, dark nights. Maybe it’s the training fatigue. But, it’s kind of bugging me this week.
What do you say when someone suggests giving up (or at least something that sounds and feels like giving up)?
Am I the only basket case that hears this so much?
Just wondering.
