I interrupt this week with an important announcement from my dog

Because we all need more cuteness in our lives, Wink is offering herself up to you as a cheerful antidote to one of the darkest of months: February. I take too many photos of her with my iPhone, and never share them. The stash is getting too big and thus, they must go forth and cheer you all on. Of course, there are messages from Wink that go with them. Think of them as life lessons. For free!

Ahem. Throat clearing.

Everyone needs an adventure. Have one. Heck. Have two!


Don't be afraid to take control of a situation. You might just find you enjoy it. Especially with the wind blowing through your hair. Fur. Hair. Whatever.


Take care of yourself. Go to the groomers once in awhile. And don't be afraid of bows. Bows FTW!


Get a full night's sleep. It keeps you young.


Revel in a hobby.


Always keep your eye on the ball. Even when reveling in your hobby.


Work hard and don't be afraid to kick it frog-style and marvel at the scenery.


We all have bad hair days. It happens.


Wink just sent you a lick. Did you get it?
