Earlier in December, Jake went to Atlanta with his family, and they left their sweet little dog with me to watch for the weekend.
Now, let me tell you - I have never spent more than a few minutes alone with a dog in my entire life. By the second day, the dog had escaped my apartment twice... Let's just say I learned a lot -
There are lots of different ways to communicate
You cannot control everything
Always welcome your loved ones home with a lot of excitement
Avoid snapping at people
You can learn a lot about yourself through how someone/thing reacts to you
Sometimes the most unplanned experiences can be the most fun
When you're home alone, not every single sound outside is a murderer
Controlling your temper and controlling your patience are strongly linked
Dogs and little kids require really similar energy
Express happiness and joy with your entire body
Don't pretend to be anything but yourself
You can't fully grasp the weight of a responsibility until you're experiencing it
Loyalty is an invaluable trait
Stretching feels so good
Never pass up an opportunity to spend time doing something you love
Reciprocate the attention your loved ones give you
Never give up
When you're having a bad day, most of the time you just need someone to talk to
Enjoy simple things and don't take them for granted
