Tomorrow (Saturday) is our very own @Birdy O'Sheedy 's birthday, and I'm posting this to make sure that we can collectively celebrate our incredible Magic In Dogs fairy godmother. Birdy makes the world a better place, and her passion for helping people and their dogs live more magical lives together has brought together this community, which reflects Birdy's own loveliness. She is the heart and the hub of what we have here together, and I for one am thankful for all she is and does to make it such a rare and enjoyable online space. We love you Birdy, you are wondrous! In lieu of having a good photo of a birthday cake, I've put the pic of candles to represent the warm light of your spirit, Birdy. 😘✨🌟⭐️💛⭐️🌟✨😘

Had planned to join the community call with you guys today, but work had other ideas! Looking forward to catching the replay, I’m sure it was awesome! Anyway, thought I’d share something funny. Kaida has apparently decided she identifies as my beanie at night. 🤣 Doesn’t matter how much room there is on the bed, she HAS to be touching me, preferably wrapped around my head while stealing all the bloody quilts! But on a more serious note, I’ve been really embracing the whole concept of Pawsing, slowing down and being present with her. Life is a bit of a shit show at the moment, and there’s plenty happening that I can’t control. But something I’ve started noticing is that I’m not reacting to things the way I used to. I’m finding myself slowing down, thinking differently and just enjoying the little moments with Kaida rather than getting swallowed up in everything else. And honestly, I’m so grateful for that. It’s been exactly what I’ve needed, probably more than I realised. I’m learning that sometimes the best thing I can do is stop trying to figure everything out and just be present. Being more dog, one little moment at a time. Although apparently being more dog also means surrendering ownership of my bed and quilts. 🤣

Haha, Pax is feeling my vibe this week. The last few days very quite full on with family and health stuff and I did a dog check, and my body is just asking for some chill time. Like biiiiiiiiig stretches and day naps. ☺️ Pax is so so good at not feeling guilty when he is relaxing. Like looooves it. He is full on when he is on, but also fully off, when he is resting these days. Like deep relax within moments. I just want to be more like him. Even if I try to take it easier as I know resting is the work, my mind takes a long time to accept it. So I wanna be more dog. Really savour the active relaxing. I’m not talking numbing . Like actively enjoying and savouring chilling. Not rushing through it. Not feeling guilty. Dog bless me though, this is hard one for me 😂.

Im not confident sharing a link to a Reel on Facebook here, so i hope this works... a little message on animal folklore, helping guide us in times of uncertainty. Of course it includes dogs. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DonFLucCS/

@Jamie Charlett 🥳 Feel free to introduce yourself here Jamie. He will also come to the workshop in Sydney all the way from Adelaide. 🤩 I’m pretty much toast after the workshop and the following day, but if any of you want to message him with ideas what a dog lover can do in Sydney on Sunday, please do. Welcome to our cosy dog lover corner Jamie ☺️.
