I’m not the only one having a blast in Chicago! Samson and I have been here for almost a year in June and we are loving every changing season! This winter, I let Samson’s hair get longer than I ever had before and when I tried to brush him, I realized that he was matted underneath. I knew his next grooming would have to be the ol’ springtime buzz cut.

Soggy Paws was recommended to me by Jim Quinn, a native Chicagoan who knows this city like the back of his hand, and he was right! Paul and Kevin are the super far out owners and sheer delight to be around! Their love for both dogs and people was exemplified at “Yappy Hour”!

Samson and I heart Yappy Hour.

Reviewing Chapter 7: Heaven on Earth
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

Imagine living your life without fear of expressing your dreams. You know what you want, what you don’t want, and when you want it. You are free to change your life the way you really want to. You are not afraid to ask for what you need, to say yes or no to anything or anyone.

From the big things like marrying someone for the wrong reasons, to the little things like going to a party you don’t want to go to because you fear disapproval if you say “no”.

You can be loving all the time. This is your choice. You may not have a reason to love, but you can love, because to love makes you so happy. Love in action only produces happiness. Love will give you inner peace. It will change your perception of everything.

Happiness is a choice, and so is suffering.

It’s a choice. Period. That’s a burn.
