You survived another ruff week, so consider this your well-earned treat for being such a good hooman.

Friday is coming to an end, and I have nothing but congratulations to send your way. Yes, we know that this time of year can be more hectic considering we've just returned from vacation, but hey… You did it, and now you get to relax and enjoy some peace for a bit.

Making it to the weekend can feel as rewarding as dogs feel when they are told good boys and given those special treats you know they love. It's like: 'Oh yes, finally someone that notices that I'm doing my best all the time'. I think Friday night is like that… And the good thing is that we get to do it every week. For some, that could be disappointing: why work five days and rest two? But I don't like to focus on the negative side of things. You can't change the work schedule of the world, but you can appreciate the rewards you get and live with that.

If you think about it, that's how dogs live. They don't complain and aren't thinking about what's coming their way. They can only focus on the present moment, so they get to enjoy every second of it, with no downsides or sad moments. The only time they get upset is when their hooman leaves them for a short moment: their lives don't make sense anytime, and all they want is to be with them. I found that to be extremely cute, and I can't understand the people who find this "too needy". But once the person is back, their life is colourful again, and there's no reason why to be upset.

Although we're not dogs and it's impossible to actually approach life in that way, we can still learn from them and understand that life is the present moment. So, next time you complain about having too much work and not having enough time to rest, remember dogs and how they accept what they have in front of them and only focus on that.
