Comments on: Self-Care Challenge Day 5: Hang with a Four-Legged Friend https://mindfulartstudio.com/self-care-challenge-animals/ Art journaling, watercolor tutorials, and adult art classes Mon, 04 Jan 2016 17:32:24 +0000 hourly 1 By: amanda https://mindfulartstudio.com/self-care-challenge-animals/#comment-2758 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 02:23:06 +0000 http://foxboroarttherapy.com/?p=1282#comment-2758 Today I took a nap snuggled up with my two dogs. They are my happy place and their unconditional love always brightens my day. When I am home they never leave my side. I also took them for a short walk outside and sat with them while I read on the couch. As I am typing this, I have my papillon on one side of me and my cavalier curled up and snoring away on the other. Doesn’t get much better than this.

HI Chibi –

What kind of dog? It sounds like you have found a wonderful companion. Will you tell us about your quality time with him today?

Cheers,

Amy

HI Jamie:

Thank you for your kind words, I will tell the pooches you said so. 🙂 Morning coffee with your cat sounds like a nice way to ease into the day.

Laura – That is a great reminder. I too find it’s hard to balance giving everyone all the love they deserve. I guess that’s yet another place in life where we have to seek balance and being “good enough.”

Cheers,

Amy

Gordita la perrita. I like it! Dogs can feel so reassuring. Thanks for sharing that nice story.

And for self-care today, what did you do?

Cheers,
Amy

HA! I love the quality time with stuffed animals, like Christine and Teresa, I’m glad that you can find some joy in observing others’ pets from a distance. An outdoor movie tonight sounds lovely. Bundle up and enjoy….

Debbi, It’s amazing the way that dogs can lighten everyone’s mood and make them light up, isn’t it? Also, all you Colorado people are making me realize that it’s time to get out for some trail time. Tomorrow it is!

Thanks for the inspiration.

Amy

Christine – I’m glad that the fluffy paws could bring some non-allergical fun into your day! What did you do for self-care today?

Cheers,

Amy
