Meet my daily leadership team. Laika, my senior lady, is a lab/husky cross and a part-time alarm system. Murphy, the blue heeler, operations manager, highly alert, zero chill when gophers are involved. And Mocha, the seal point ragdoll, leading from a position of absolute comfort and imagined authority, looking like a perfectly frothed chai latte… but definitely not a pumpkin spice one.
Honestly… parts of this feel a little too familiar, maybe like things in the world we live in. But unlike the world out there, these three keep it simple: Eat, sleep, walk, poop, cuddle and repeat.
So today I’ve decided I’m opting out. The only sh*t I’m dealing with is the kind that comes with a leash and a poop bag. The only barking I’m entertaining is coming from my own backyard.
No big declarations. No noise for the sake of noise. No pretending to have all the answers. Just fresh air, quiet, and a reset.
Indeed, today will be a dog’s day. And honestly, that feels like the smartest plan on the table. Because the kind of chaos happening out there right now… is a lot harder to clean up than anything on this acreage.
