Week 9 -- "B" Green

Happy St. Patrick's Day, most valiant readers! I hope you all adorned green this most splendid day, and if not, I hope you were all met with happy embraces and not dreadful pinches.

For week 9, we will look at ways to "B" green. Now, when I say "B" green, I don't mean "B"ing "green with envy," rather, I hope that you all, splendid readers, will "B" able to "B" more eco-friendly.

See, there are many reasons to practice "B"ing green, if not just for my sake alone. You should "B" green so that we can all make our planet less polluted and live on a bit longer. Personally, I think everyone should practice "B"ing green for animals, especially me because I'm a Princess and everyone knows that Princesses deserve special treatment.

Oh, and if you don't believe I'm a Princess -- refer to the picture for evidence below:



Now, how does one, such as my faithful readers, go about "B"ing green?

Well, there are many, many ways. I will review my most personal favorite that specifically involve me!

First, whenever you're at home and looking for something to do, instead of reaching for the remote control, why not take your pet on a walk? Not only does it save electricity and energy from television usage, but it uses up your pet's energy, and everyone knows that a tired dog is a good dog. Personally, I love walks as long as I'm in my harness and I receive lots of treats along the way. No walk is a good walk without treats.

Next, when we get back from our walk, and I'm am thoroughly exhausted -- let me slumber in peace. Please refrain from turning on the television again -- you may wake me, and reach for a book, preferably one about me or penned by me. Reading not only, yet again, saves energy, but also increases your intelligence! And everyone knows, an intelligent pet owner is a good pet owner.

Thirdly, on a nice, sunny, Spring day -- why not turn off the air conditioner and open the windows for a lovely breeze, oh wonderful readers? Not only does it save energy, but it also offers me the chance to sun bathe in the light. It also makes me extremely frisky so that I may want to play fetch with you! How exciting!

My last favorite way to "B" green is when you give me toys and chews that are eco-friendly! These toys are not made in factories using harmful emissions, and are put together with recycled materials. They are so much fun to play with and are good for our environment, too!

You see, fair readers, "B"ing green goes beyond St. Patrick's Day. Sure, a little bit of green may bring us luck on March 17th every year, but living green brings us enjoyment the whole year through! By "B"ing green we are not only living better lives, but promoting better lives for each other and for our environment.

So, "B" green for our environment and for me!

In conclusion, I hope you enjoyed the dogvotional for today. Though I am but a mere dog, I like to point out every so often that I am quite worldly, and know the ways of you humans. Please be nice to the environment so that we may all live long prosperous lives and so that the generations beyond us may as well!

Please raise your right hand, or right paw, and repeat after me: "I, (state your name), do here solemnly swear to 'B' green in my lifestyle for this week. I will turn off my television and open my windows and hope that the environment is better for it. I am thankful for B: The Dogvotionalist and her wisdom and will be back next week for further guidance."

See you all next week, my dear ones --
B: The Dogvotionalist
