🐾 Monday with Moose 🐾
Sometimes You Just Need to Sit Down
Well… we missed last Monday.
And honestly, folks, I have an excuse.
My human writer has spent the last seven weeks living in a world of puppy poop, puppy food, puppy chaos… and Ben. 😂
Between cleaning pens, feeding 16 puppies, walking Ben, cleaning AGAIN, answering messages, worrying about vet bills, and trying to keep everyone alive and happy… well, let’s just say her brain has been running on fumes.
The good news is… a few of those puppies have found their forever families! ❤️
But there are still 12 little Veggie Tails looking for their people. 🥕🐾
And while my writer is going to miss those little faces when they leave, she knows something important:
When one puppy finds a home, it opens the door for another dog waiting to be SAVeD.
I think that's something we all need to remember sometimes.
My writer is really good at taking care of everyone else. She worries about the dogs who need a foster. The dogs who need a vet. The ones who need food. The ones who need someone to believe in them.
She worries about the next dog waiting to be SAVeD.
But sometimes the person doing the saving forgets that she needs care too.
So if you're reading this and you're exhausted…
If your house is a mess…
If your to-do list is longer than your day…
If you feel like you're falling behind…
If you're wondering whether you're doing enough…
Stop for a minute.
Take a breath.
Sit down.
Look at what you've already accomplished.
Because you don't have to do everything today.
You don't have to save every dog.
You don't have to have all the answers.
And you certainly don't have to be perfect.
You just have to keep showing up.
Sometimes showing up looks like rescuing a dog.
Sometimes it looks like cleaning the puppy pen for the 47th time. 😂
Sometimes it looks like taking Ben for that walk when you'd really rather collapse on the couch.
Sometimes you just have to nod and smile.
And sometimes…
showing up means giving yourself permission to rest.
Because you can't pour from an empty cup.
And the dogs who depend on you don't need you to be perfect.
They just need you. ❤️
So tonight, my advice is simple:
Put your feet up.
Take a breath.
And give yourself some grace.
Tomorrow is another day.
And knowing my human writer…
There will probably be more poop. 😂🐾
Until next Monday,
Moose 🐾💚
And remember…
Dogs aren’t Broken they are just waiting to be SAVeD!
