Breathing Space

Our car did not pass the emissions test the first time around. 

I can understand how the car feels, I can't breathe here either.

Did you know English Bulldogs have trouble breathing? 

We do. 

(Here's a video of me after playing fetch.)

But I like it here.

I have new neighbors who I check in with frequently:

(Some are happier to see me than others.)

See video.

Did you know my family is of royal dissent?

We have had some very regal moments this year!

And since cheerleading is also in my heritage

 let me be the first to say, 

RAH RAH

to my brother who got a full-time job at a summer camp!

WAIT A MINUTE...

That means he will be leaving me all alone...with no one beside me!

(Shrek reference.)

I decided to discuss this a little further with Dad while I slobbered on the bed.

I also heard my sister will be leaving me in a year when she heads to college.

I hope she picks the one with the good looking mascot.

But for now I am just going to remember that, "Life's a beach." 

(What's on your collar? Mine has a beach pass!!!)

This summer I hope you find someplace 

that takes you to new heights

lets you examine your viewpoints,

 and gives you some breathing space!

Take a moment to PAWS and ponder 

what you want your outlook to be.
