Dogs have a way of weaving themselves into our lives, becoming part of who we are. For some they are the family pet, to my family, they were one of us. Just family. My dogs were more than pets, they were companions, teachers, and quiet healers. Each one brought something unique, but all shared that
Kindness, compassion, and the gift of non-judgment are at the heart of the holiday spirit. But the truth is, they should not be reserved just for December.

As a parent, it is easy to fall into the habit of correcting our kids all the time. We want to teach them, guide them, and help them make the “right” choices. But over the years, I have learned something that has completely changed the way I approach parenting: listening to our kids is far
