New Beginnings

Hi there, and welcome back,

April is all about new beginnings. For those of you who live in the country, it’s the time of lambing and the birth of other farm young; and for all of us, it’s when we see the bird parents trying so hard to keep up with the demands of their hungry hatchlings.

It’s the time we all start to feel alive and awake again. It’s when our dog walk once again becomes more of a pleasure than a cold muddy slog. Our dogs feel it, too—you’ll notice how much more energetic and playful they become.

This month as we wake up properly from the cold and dark I’ll remind you of the peace and happiness you can find--not by doing anything in particular, but instead by noticing what you’re doing in a particular way. I’ll also suggest ways you can enjoy the world around you more broadly. Caroline will help you harness that canine joy to teach your dog some new tricks—whatever their age or yours!

Enjoy watching the world wake up,

Warm wishes,

Caroline and Linda
