Any Excuse for a Cupcake

May is a very special month in our home...our puppy's birthday! Caspian has been in our lives for 8 months now and boy have a learned lots about what I do not know.  First thing I learned quick...he is full of energy and I am not.

As our family starts planning for his 1st birthday party (let's be honest, I will use every excuse I can find to make cupcakes), I started thinking about how much I have learned from Caspian. I thought I would share my nuggets of "what not to do as a dog owner" with you over the next couple weeks.


This week's focus -1. I love ROCKS: 

I love my puppy, yet the one thing that drives me crazy about him is: HE CHEWS EVERYTHING! He finds joy in chewing on anything he can get his paws on. I have often caught him eating small rocks from my daughter's rock collection. He is so excited to get any thing new to chew (like a toddler with a box). This got me thinking about contentment. We live in a world of instant gratification and too many choices, we tend to live in constant lack of contentment, looking for a better rock to chew.

I am learning to be content with the "rocks" in my life. They will make a great foundation for my future.
