I love to start things. I love the planning and the thinking it out and the newness of it all. I am always so hopeful that things will be great. You know what I’m not so great at? Execution. Apparently, I think the laws of time do not actually apply to me and when I can’t find the time to execure *exactly as I want* I lose all hope of making anything of the project and scrap it. It’s amazing that Kol’s Notes has kept me excited so very long. I could totally take a lesson from Honey.

Dewi does the same thing as Honey. I have to maneuver him out of the limp squid position every night. 🙂 They simply lack the ability to compute probability. 🙂

Have faith in yourself! Do not despair! If there’s a will, there’s a way (how corny-but true-was that?). Also, do yourself a favor and forget all rules of probability. 😉

Hope is often a tough one to have but something we all need. You said it very well. Nice post. : )

Maybe Honey is just enjoying her routine – I love the idea that she is warming up the bed for you 🙂 I think I always give up when things start getting a little too uncomfortable . . a little inertia would probably help me (and some hope too!) We definitely have so much to learn from our dogs 🙂

I love this installment of the Puppiness Project. It’s definitely something I need to work on in my own life too. 🙂

Aww. I love Honey’s nightly ritual! hope everlasting 🙂
Gwynn shows me it’s worthwhile hoping in spite of failure regularly. He’ll be so bad and completely indifferent to anything I’m trying to do with him one day, and hte next, he’ll be like, “I knew it all along. also, i mastered it.” And, no matter how long it takes for us to get something, he’s just as enthusiastic about it.

I always cuddle up with my humans at night too – and like Honey, I never give up hope they’ll let me stay the whole night! Humans really do have a lot to learn from us dogs.

I admire your intertia – I’m great at starting things, but get bored easily and lose interest. Fortunately, Rod is wonderful at follow-through and has made the perfect business partner (and husband) for me. Considering a business partner with skills that compliment yours might be a great way to ensure your success. You’ve also got a lot of friends that are here to cheer you on – don’t hesitate to call on us!

One of our friends does not feed Elka. I mean, he'll put her food into her bowl when necessary, but that's it. He does not share the last bite of his sandwich, a shred of cheese, nothing. And Elka always goes and sits in front of him, pretty as you please, and stares at him and licks her chops. 2 years later, this friend gave her a pizza crust. Miracles do happen!

Hi there guys,

It’s great to meet you through the Monday Mischief Blog Hop!!

I’m very impressed with Honey’s never give up attitude – I’m only 1 and a half and I know that every now and then it pays off!! Not that I get to sleep on the bed either – but I don’t care, cos I’ve taught my Mum and Dad that I NEED a Dentastix before I go to bed and once the night time routine starts – I follow them around, just so they don’t forget!! As soon as they go in the cupboard and get it out they just have to say the command – Time for Bed – and I literally sprint around the furniture into the lounge and hop into my bed!!

Until the other day Mum thought that my bed or the floor was where I slept every night, until she got up extra early and found me on the SOFA !! Tee Hee Well, it’s a good second best to the bed – I used to imagine I would never sleep on the sofa – I just had to be patient and work out how to achieve my goal! 🙂

See, everything’s possible! 🙂

Have a fun day,

Your new pal Snoopy 🙂
