I know, it shouldnโ€™t. But mine doesโ€”at least sometimes. Some walks can be SO STRESSFUL, while others brighten your entire day.

Ever since we got home on Monday afternoon, our walks have somehow been so much more enjoyable. Lucky has been calm (or at least MUCH less anxious) and even playful with other dogs. Especially todayโ€”I absolutely loved our morning walk, and as you can imagine, Iโ€™ve been in a great mood all day!

Iโ€™m confident this positive vibe will carry us into our trigger-free birthday weekend. And hopefully, itโ€™ll help buffer the bad vibes on walks that might not go as smoothly in the future.

To anyone whoโ€™s had a good walk recentlyโ€”celebrate it, you made that happen, and you should be proud!

For those struggling with difficult walksโ€”shake it off (literally, just like our dogs do with their stress). Remember, these bad days happen, and theyโ€™re completely normal. They donโ€™t define your bond with your dog.

Keep going, because better walks are always ahead ๐Ÿ˜Š
