In this season’s reflection, I’d like you to consider the element of gratitude in your relationship with your dog. Think about three things that you’re grateful for in your canine, particularly if you’re currently experiencing challenges of any kind. For instance, you could be grateful for how nicely they walk on a leash, or that they’re quiet in their crate, or that they’re not a fussy eater. What we appreciate has a way of appreciating, strengthening us to deal with any challenges we might be facing.
