That my shy, serious little human in a dog suit has “dogged up” enough to feel proud of himself for basic commands and tricks warms the cockles of my cold, black heart.

I’m quite guilty of not taking time to relish successes. It’s always “on to the next. It never occurred to me that this might not be the best way to be.

I couldn’t help but think – dod she actually give herself a moment to feel proud of this post? I hope so. It was a good one.

I’m beginning to discover that owning my own business has changed me in more ways than I knew. I used to think it was wrong to feel pride about my accomplishments – just like you joked about. I never wanted a lot of attention for what I accomplished. Now? I’m not afraid to tout my accomplishments, if needed. Am I cured? Nah! Just the other day I was downplaying my blog writing as nothing serious. My friends were the ones to point out how my blog writing is something I should be proud of and share. Guess I still need to learn from my dogs and Honey huh?

BTW – When Jasper is proud of himself he prances. His feet go a little higher and he bounces along. It is so cute and one of the many things I love about him. 🙂

I agree, we all need to allow ourselves to be proud when we’ve accomplished something. Imagine what a great equalizer it would be if we decided to give that validation to ourselves instead of waiting go get it from others, while just a few people are “allowed” to celebrate how wonderful they are (or think they are)!

I think I spend too much time thinking about how something is not perfect, how it didn’t meet the goal I had in my mind or how I’m not doing what so and so is doing that I forget to appreciate what I’ve done and be proud of it. Thanks for the reminder.

Honey looks pleased with herself sitting in the bike basket. There is no way that BJ will get onto anything that moves except a car. Good job on your teaching and her learning.

But it didn’t take long for you to convince me that they do, and why that is a good thing. There is so much we can learn from our dogs about life, and that is one thing I never thought of myself. As a pretty new blogger, I related to all of those things you talked about! Especially with the dogs….since I have 4 I often don’t have time to teach them things, and I always feel bad about that. But when I have all four of them crowding at the door, thinking they might get out, and I say “Stay” and they all do….I guess I do feel a little proud about that, and I’m glad you’ve made me think about the fact that it is OK to let myself feel that way. Especially instead of feeling bad about all the commands they don’t know! Thanks!

Every time I finish a website, I worry about where my next client will come from instead of celebrating that I have currently gave a client exactly what they wanted. Dogs really know how to live, don’t they? 🙂

Pride is fine, as with everything it’s all about balance. We definitely should take time to celebrate our successes and accomplishments like a dog. Brooks has a cute happy dance.
