Todd's Post Election Recovery Advice

I went out of town for a few days this past week without the dogs. All was well when I returned.  But while I get the post about my trip ready to share, Todd is helping me out. We both know pretty well how people may be feeling about the election results on Tuesday.  I've chosen to not post my views here -- But in hopes of helping us to come to terms with what has truly been an extraordinary series of events, Todd would like to share his "post election recovery advice."


1. Feel free to scream or bark, whichever one you prefer.

2. Manage your exposure  ..... to social media...or just people in general.

3. Create an exit plan, or a strategy to get out of any anxiety-provoking situation.

Number 4 and 5.  Practice acceptance and know what your triggers are.

6. No matter how much you may want to, don't engage "them."  No one wins.  Well, maybe if you're Todd.  But remember to respect your family members, friends and pack-mates.

7.  Practice good behavior.

8. Slow down and do something that you enjoy.  Ripping up a new toy works for Todd.

9. Look for and/or remember your support system and spend some time with them.

10. Perspective and personal reflection may help too.

....So, go for a walk, or just spend time outdoors enjoying the fresh air.

With your dogs of course...

We hope this advice helps, and if you have any you'd like to share, please do.  As always thank-you for taking a moment and stopping by.  I hope you'll stop by again!
