New Year's Resolutions

So this year I really AM going to go back and look at my last year's resolutions so I can see if I did pretty good.

Here's what I promised to do:

1.  I promise to always share my Frisbee, especially with puppies who are shy.  'Cuz I know what it's like to be shy and afraid sometimes.

I did that!  In fact I did it so well that Mom had to buy me two new frizbees.  The old one got torn to pieces; the next one was thrown in a tree and never came down (don't worry it wasn't Mom who threw it), and the newest one isn't doing too well either after these two clowns had fun with it!

But I think I get an A+ on sharing my frizbee this year!

My second resolution was:

2.  I will try to be strong.  Sometimes when I go to the Dog Park, I'm ascared and the other dogs know it and they try to bully me.  But if I'm strong then they play with me and I don't feel ascared anymore.

I've been to two new dog parks this year, and my hackles don't go up nearly as often as they used to.  I think even big dogs respect me now.  

So I'm going to give me an A+ on this one too.

And my third resolution

3. I promise to teach the puppies I play with how to play my games so we can all have fun together.

Heck, I even taught my friends to dance.  I'm getting an A+ on that one too.

And resolution #4.  (I'm on a roll here!)

4.  I will take risks, 'cuz I sometimes don't do things I want to do because I'm afraid.  (Like when Mom leaves the door just a little bit open for me so I can come in from the outside.  I sit outside forever because I'm afraid I'll get squished in the door.) 

I don't worry  about getting stuck in the door anymore.  I just push my way in.  (But maybe I have to take off a few points, 'cuz Dad says I need to learn to shut the door behind me.)  I'll give me an A for that one.

And the last one was easy:

5.  And mostly I promise to always have fun and run in the sun (I like being a poet)!

I always have fun in the sun!  Especially when the sun is on the beach!

I get A++++ for #5!

Hope you did as good on your New Year's Resolutions

Love, G

P.S.  Mom says I might be just a little bit too lenient on myself.  But I don't care.  I think I did really good this year.
