Dogs Do The Darndest Things

I walked into the living room this morning, and my standard poodle Oscar had eaten, literally EATEN, eight of my daughter's crayons.  What is tasty about CRAYONS?  They certainly don't taste like chicken.  There were little multi colored bits all over my ivory shag rug...

Oscar has been misbehaving since my daughter was born a year and a half ago.  I know it's because we are not giving him the attention he needs.  One of the things I am constantly working on, is remembering that he needs attention too and making time to do that.  Practicing mindfulness and intention helps me to remember about the important things in life, like spending time with Oscar.
