Week 1 - "B" Kind

Greetings all --

I start off this adventure by giving you a short preface to this "dog-votional." I (Alison) will be transcribing all of B's thoughts, because, as you may have noticed, B cannot type. Nor can B talk, so I will try my best to accurately paint her true ideas. Note that I will only be using body language to work with, so please allow for error. On a side note: Please, B, forgive me if I misrepresent you in anyway.

These proceedings are in their entirety devoted to my mother, and B's "Grandmère," for her inspiration.

Okay, let's get this rolling.

Week 1 of B's Dogvotionals: "B" Kind

B would like to begin her series of Dogvotionals with an emphasis on kindness. She believes the key to all the world's problems lies in the availability of true kindness. If only we are kind to one another, then most of our problems with one another would cease to exist. "Choose to be kind, and leave animosity behind" (a direct quote from B). Start off your day by promising yourself to say at least one nice thing to a stranger. Compliment their outfit, cologne, hair, etc. B believes that if more people were complimented by complete strangers that the use of psychiatry would plummet and world-wide happiness would arise. B especially likes when strangers compliment her collar color. She works very hard to decide on which collar to wear, and is thankful for those who take the time to notice her collar selection. (Today she is wearing an eggplant colored velvet collar with matching diamond name tag -- very chic!)

Also, B would like to emphasize the importance of self-kindness. B believes that not only complimenting another person, but complimenting yourself is vital to overall happiness, because a peaceful world comes from happy people. B likes to begin each day by complimenting herself. She gazes into the mirror and chooses one thing she likes about herself. Today, she loves the whiteness of her teeth. Most celebrities pay thousands of dollars to have teeth as white as hers, and all she has to do is chew on a few bones periodically. B feels good about herself today, and so should you!

B would like to conclude this dogvotional by asking all readers to please raise their right hand, or paw, and vow to be kind this week by saying: I, (state your name), vow to be kind this week in order to promote world happiness and peace. I believe in the power of B's weekly dogvotionals and will promote kindness through my actions and words. "B" kind to yourself and one another!

B thanks you all for reading her weekly dogvotional and hopes to see you again next week.

Until then, "B" kind!

P.S. B would like to mention that one of the winning lottery numbers for this week's lotto is: 8. "Good luck!" - B.
