Dare to be a DREAMER

We had a PAWsome time at our book signing at Urban Grassland in Spruce Grove, what an incredible eco store (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=143722068858) this is.

They had the most amazing t-shirts with PAWsitive sayings, that are from Dare to Be (www.daretobe.ca.

Barb also gave me this beautiful bookmark from Dare to Be, please enjoy and make sure you visit Urban Grassland, or check out the Dare to Be online store.

Dare to be a DREAMER Pledge
By Dare to Be 2008 www.daretobe.ca

I have dreams
I believe that dreams come true.
I create a vision and then let inspiration guide me.
I am open to change and new horizons.
I let my imagination soar.
I embrace my inner child.
I delight in moments of bliss.
I re-examine my life and my dreams often and find ways to align the stars.
I allow my excitement to show.
I am not afraid of what others think.
I follow my heart and am true to what I believe.
I am positive about the future and all it has to offer.
I make time for me and my dreams, I deserve it.
I share my dreams with others who uplift and support me.
I let my heart be my guide.

PAWsitive Edmonton Pet Expo

I was at PET EXPO Edmonton for two days, it was PAWesome. Everyone told me that they recognized my bark, even when other dogs were barking.
I raised $210 for the two Pet Expo designated charities, and got to visit with two of my great sponsors: Kaytie Stack of K9 Awareness Centre and Karah McDonald of Bone & Biscuit Sherwood Park.
The best part was Charmaine and I doing our presentation on having a PAWesome 2011. She talked about having a purpose and how when I got connected with my purpose (spreading joy and helping from the heart), my life changed (and my behavior improved). The number one question we heard at our booth this weekend has only four words--- “Is this THE Toby?” It was four paws up feeling! I pawdographed a ton of books, cuddled lots of people, and made friends with many new furry friends (and met my first reptile).

Check out this picture of me on the new Spot On Treadmill that K9 Awareness had on display.
This week I challenge you to reach out and connect with someone new, make that person feel special just like everyone made me feel when they came to meet me at Pet Expo.
Until next time---let’s make it a PAWsitive week!

Unique habits set us apart from others

We all have our unique habits and qualities. Toby has such a funny way of sleeping in the vehicle. One would think because he gets the whole back seat that he would stretch out and take up the whole space. Not our Toby! Toby sleeps with his head on the floor (resting softly on his two front legs which are crossed on the floor and his butt on the back seat) . To each his own.

What are the unique habits and qualities that make you who you are?

The Bark that Echos

Well, I love Wednesdays! It was my afternoon to volunteer at Alberta Hospital Edmonton, clearly my favorite day of the week. It was too cold to go outside (minus 25 degrees Celsius) so we played fetch in the basement hallway, the patients taught me a few new tricks, and I learned how loud my bark really is --- it echos in the hallways.
