After a much-needed break – Doctor’s orders, we’re back!
(Jack) Enjoying a much-needed rest
First, I can’t tell you how much I appreciated the messages from our followers. The fact that you checked in with us and offered us your well wishes means the world. We’ve missed you too!
It was difficult for me to step away from my laptop and although I wanted to connect with you each week and participate in the A to Z challenge this year, I realized that health (mental and physical) comes before all else. I have learned to prioritize and find a balance between job number one, the job for fun, and of course, family (importance in reverse order).
No one wants needs to hear the details of why we were absent. Suffice to say, Dogma has recovered after surgery, and during that time I had a chance to spend quality time with the new guy (Jack) and his siblings as well as research some new tips, tricks, treats and toys with you. For them and in the future, for you too! Pet people like tips, treats, and toys as well. At least this one does!
As always, I look forward to hearing from you,
Glad that all is well, at least we are hoping it is!
It definitely is. Thanks Caren.
I can’t say you haven’t piqued my curiousity, but it’s good to know all is well (better at least) and getting back to normal – whatever that is!! Look forward to your tips!
Thanks. Gallbladder 🙁
Good to know things are getting back to “normal” after much needed time away. Peace and blessings to you all.
Much appreciated. Thank you.
Welcome back 🙂 You were missed and good to see you but as you said you needed to step back and prioritize which makes perfect sense plus put your health first, I need a lesson from you with that one. Cannot wait for the tips and reviews of yours as I always love them.
Have a wonderful weekend with a woof from Layla xxx
Thanks Layla – you’re such a sweetie!
Glad you’re back! Looking forward for your tips and reviews.
Thank you for your patience 🙂
Hope everything is well now. Welcome back!
All is good. Thanks!
So glad that you are back. Hope that everything will be good now 🙂
Thanks Cindy. Yes, I am on the right path!
Welcome back. I know regulra readers miss their favourite blogs – being popular has an upside – people want to know you are OK 🙂
Sometimes taking a break will allow you to come back fresh and full of new ideas! Good luck over the next few months.

The well wishes certainly helped me with my recovery!
I’m so glad you had the break that you needed and are back! I missed your posts!
Awww. I really appreciate that. Thank you Beth.
So sorry you had such a hard time. I’m glad everything is well again. <3
Thank you.
Sometimes we get signs it’s time to slow down, if they aren’t heeded, the signs become too serious to ignore. Glad you took the time needed to heal and come back better than ever. Welcome back!

Thanks, Karen. The Universe was sending a message – loud and clear!
I hope all is well. I love the beautiful photo. Such a great capture of his eyes.
Thank you! I’ve had fun practicing with my models.
Welcome back! Sometimes we all need to take a step back to reevaluate and recuperate. Glad to hear you got to take that time and get back on track. Looking forward to “seeing” you around!
I feel lucky to have had the time. I think that adds to the pressure for a number of people.
Welcome back! So glad that you are feeling good again after surgery. It is amazing how important health is. I know I often took it for granted. I too have been on and off this year and will actually be taking 3 weeks to visit my parents after Blog Paws. Hope to get together when I get back in June. XS
I’m glad you are having a break! Yes, I look forward to seeing you.
I’m glad to hear that things are getting better! Medical issues are always difficult. When one person (or pet) in a home is suffering, everyone in the home suffers. It is tough to step away from everything, but it is great that you followed your doctor’s recommendations. Sometimes rest is the best thing. I hope that things only get better and better for you from here!
Thank you for the insightful comment. You’re right – the whole pack seems happier!
Nice to see you back and happy to hear things are getting better. I admire you for being able to step away from things in order to allow yourself time to heal.
We have to listen to our bodies. Mine was YELLING at me.
Just glad everything iso. That everyone is ok. And you are back!
We’re great. Thanks Sonja!
Glad you were able to take a break. Hope all is well. Welcome back 🙂
Thanks Kia
Yess rest up!!! Hope everything is good with you!! xoxo

Long time reader but just wanted to drop a line this time and say welcome back!
