This is Fruitycake. First things first. Because I want your day to start off positively too! I have had a hurt foot for a few days that’s been bothering me.
The persons were extremely worried. Because a dog bit me the other day. And because there are a lot of thorns here. Also, I jumped out of bed pretty hard the other day too. And they couldn’t find anything wrong. But the truth is, I am sore. But it’s not my paw.
Nope. It’s my harness. And it’s my shoulder hurt from the harness. You see, I get scared a lot lately and this Italy place can be noisy at times and have unexpected scooters and bikes and people from all directions.
So my harness gets pulled too much to get me out of the way. And it’s been pulling on the same spot and I’m sore. Don’t know why it took a vet person to figure that out. No one asked me.
So, after some pain pills and medicine from the vet person, and ordering a special harness, I’ll be ok. I’ll be as good as new!
But I need to rest this week. And that’s the hardest part.

Do you know what else is hard? Breaking the habit of being negative first thing in the day. It’s so easy to wake up and see everything wrong and hard and discouraging. We look at the news, we hear our own, negative thoughts. And then we believe them. But we could tell them to scram. That we are not what our negative thoughts tell us.
That we are not our problems. Even with a hurt shoulder.
If it seems a lot goes wrong around here, sometimes it does. But a lot goes right too. And that is what we will see, even with the storm on the way today. That makes it a good day to rest. And that makes it a good day.
We are so thankful for every one of you in the 2 Traveling Dogs family. For over 14 years we have written a blog from our rescue dogs’ points of view. And we hope to continue for June! Don’t forget you can make your contribution recurring as well!
If your negative thoughts try to get you today, be stronger. Get a new, mind harness to pull you up out of it. If I can do it, you can too. Break the habit of negativity.
