How to be Happy

Hey there, hooman peeps! It’s your favourite Sheepadoodle, Beaumont, dishing out my weekly wisdom. And woo hoo! Louise is letting me have full reign of the keyboard today ’cause she’s all caught up in creating an amazing master class for Tuesday for anyone interested in Radiant Bold Aging. I guess I’ll give her that — she’s pretty feisty and bold for a 70-year-old! (Ouch! She just poked me!) (She can be a sensitive ‘ole gal, no what Imean?) Actually, she might not be so sensitive if she quit taking herself quite so seriously! Like, maybe she needs to focus more on how to HAVE FUN! no matter your age!

Anyway, today, I’m here to school you on the art of happiness, Sheepadoodle style. So, park your behinds and lend me your ears (I promise I won’t chew on them).

1. Drama? Ditch It! – You know, watching you humans get tangled in drama is like watching cats trying to walk on leashes – utterly perplexing! Why obsess over who said what about whom when you could simply exchange a friendly sniff or a cheerful tail wag? Life’s too short for soap operas, folks.
2. Bragging? Boring! – Stop spinning tales to buff up your image. Trust me, we dogs don’t do resumes. We’re all about spreading pure, unfiltered joy. So, why not focus on sprinkling a little goodness around? Trust me, it’s contagious.
3. Nature? Nurture Yourself with It! – Ever seen a stressed tree? I haven’t (even when I’m peeing on it!). There’s something magical about letting your paws (or feet, in your case) wander through nature. Woods, beaches, mountains – just go where the wind blows you. No Google Maps required – maybe I should make that No Google Maps Allowed!
4. Plan Less, Live More – Seriously, why cram your day with endless scrolling and newsfeeds? That’s like choosing stale kibble over fresh steak! Real life’s happening right under your nose – be there, or be square.
5. Self-Love? Learn It from a Pro – Have you ever seen a dog fret over a bad hair day or count calories or check for LIKES on our social media feeds. Nope. We’re too busy being awesome, chasing balls, and basking in self-admiration and unconditional love. So, how about falling head-over-paws in love with yourself, just like we do?

There you go, five Beau-approved steps to tickle your happiness bone. Now, what are you waiting for? Embrace your inner Sheepadoodle and wag your way to a happier you. After all, if you’re looking for a happiness guru, who better than a dog who’s mastered the art of living in the now?

Until next Sunday, keep wagging!

PS. Louise had to get all arsty fartsy with my pic this morning. I let her have her way. I mean, seriously this ‘old dawg knows where his kibble comes from! (and who knows. Maybe it’ll inspire her to actually give me that T-Bone steak!)
