What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?
Woof, dear readers! It’s me, Bruno the Shih Tzu, and today I’ve got a tail-wagging tale to share with you. Have you ever set a goal for yourself that felt like chasing your own tail? I have, and here’s my story.
The biggest challenge I’ve faced? Barking. You might think it’s easy being a dog, but let me tell you – it’s ruff! My primary job is to keep an ear out for any dangers and warn my beloved mummy. But here’s the tricky part: I want to bark just enough to send the message, but not too much.
Why? Because when I bark too much, all the other furry pals we care for start to join the choir! It’s like a domino effect, and before you know it, we’ve got a canine concert on our paws! And if that’s not chaotic enough, our little human toddler gets startled and starts to cry. And trust me, those tears? They break my heart more than an empty treat jar.

So, my personal goal? Finding that sweet spot where I can be the loyal, alert Shih Tzu that mummy needs, without causing too much commotion. It’s been a journey of trial and error (with a few too many woofs along the way), but every day, I strive to be better. After all, being a good boy is all about balance!

Paws and licks,
