There are two things that bring peace and joy to my dog, Shelby.
When she’s feeling stressed or trying to get to sleep, she sucks on her blankie. She never bites holes in it. As you can see in the video, this nooking activity brings her peace.
The thing that brings her joy, is her ball. I do a “fetch walk” with her every morning. She also likes to play fetch down a hallway, in a garage, or anywhere else she can.
As a new year begins, I hope you too find things that bring you peace and joy. 🕊

Thanks, Lisa! Happy New Year to you as well.
Ahhh-so sweet! My last dog, Dougie a golden retriever, had the same habit with a stuffed toy of his.
Thanks, Alanna! Dougie knew how a good thing when he found it.
