In reply to Lauranne.

I have a friend from Conwall who tells me I wasn’t fully dressed because I didn’t have a tea kettle. 🙂

I also wonder about the difference between caring too much and caring too little. Personally, I’d rather care too much. But I wish I could get rid of the self-concerned aspect and just care more about other people.

In reply to Beth. Ha ha ha! I've sure gotten you fooled. There are fewer moments when I don't doubt myself than there are when I do. :)

It is really hard to be super sensitive and be a blogger! You seem so practical and down to earth that I would have never guessed that you doubt yourself at times. Nelly and Theo are both a little picky with friends, but Sophie seems to love everyone.

Maya gets along with every dog. She tries to join them in their group games at the dog park, but they are not really interested. She tries so hard, but to no avail. Does Maya care? Nope. She still has fun.

I honestly can’t fathom anyone not like you! But this: “And some of us, who are particularly un-doglike, see the worst in everything.” YEP. There are so many people who thrive and feed off of negativity… and they love to do it online. As for my herd, I’m much better at making friends than Lucas and Cooper are, but Emmett can befriend anyone who so much as glances in his direction. And even HE gets negative comments online!

Firstly, of course you wear a coat on the beach and probably end up with the picnic blanket wrapped round your knees as well!! I care far too much about what people think. I worry about what people mean and if I can take on face value what they are telling me – it is part of the problem keeping me in counselling. But I don’t know how not to care, sometimes I know I can care too much, but is that a bad thing??

Well, I’m awkward with people and my dogs are awkward with other dogs. So social media used to mess with my mind something fierce. As my blogging years continue, I’ve back away from the hype and rules and have really done what I’ve wanted with the post of the 24 Paws of Love. It can be a bit disappointing when what I feel is a good piece only gets a comment or two and I can’t understand why, but it doesn’t send me off the face of the earth like it did in the beginning. I feel pretty comfortable just being me right now and that just what my dogs do. They just be themselves. And really that is all you can ask for, being true to you. Don’t you think?

I need to take this post to heart. I tend to be overly sensitive, so starting a blog where people could post their opinions was nerve wracking for me. Thankfully, everyone has been so accepting and I’m learning to be myself regardless of what others think. I definitely need to be more like my dogs!

In reply to jan. Unless dogs think the important people are the ones carrying liver treats in their pockets. Then they totally do. :)

I learned to love the simplicity of how a dog thinks, chooses, and functions. Aahhh, must be nice. No luggage!
