December 23, 2023

It’s been a minute. Where the heck has the time gone? As the title suggests, it is December 23, 2023; the day before Christmas Eve. I hope that everyone is nice and relaxed and ready for the big day. I am ready and I’m pretty relaxed. It’s been a very busy few months and now we are nearing the moment that many of us have been waiting for. I love Christmas, the whole season is my absolute favorite.

So what’s up here at Just Dogs with Sherri? There is a lot in the works, and in the New Year I will be working very hard to get many things that I’ve gotten started…finished. I have a Know Your Dog course that will be ready in the New Year that will be a must for anyone and everyone with a dog. I am also going to be releasing my new one on one consultations (sorry it’s late). I’m super excited for both and have a few other things that I am working on.

On a personal note, we were blessed with the our 6th Grandchild early in the year. We now have 5 Grandsons and 1 Granddaughter who are all so amazing. We love spending as much time with all them as we can throughout the year and to see them grow, change and evolve into their own very individual person. Dogs and children is a juggling act and one that I have lots of experience with; that I love to share.

Elsa and Riggs are wonderful. I can’t believe how great Elsa is doing after finding the exact steps to avoid constant uti’s that she’d been suffering from. Elsa turned 12 this year and is going strong; even though she is coming up to year four of living with the effects of a spinal stroke. She is truly a champion but is most definitely showing her age these days.

Riggs turned 5 in October and is coming into his own. He is a very complicated guy but we could NOT ask for a better boy. He tries very hard to always do right (even ratting out Elsa on occasion,) and is making better choices as he matures. He is a scared sort of guy which leads to all sorts of different behaviors. But we are constantly working on the idea that the world is not filled with monsters who are out to get him.

I am continually working on my podcast as well; which I really do enjoy creating and hope to broaden that this year as well. I will continue to blog when I have content to write about. I’m not sure what is the preferred format, blog or podcast so for now I will continue with both. Although they both have different content, so reading the blog and listening to the podcast gets you covered. I do love to write and will continue wrting on a couple of books I have on the go.

But I have to say that my instagram is what gets the most attention from me. It is easy for me to upload information and share it to the largest audience, which is a true passion. After working with dogs for almost 50 years in many different aspects of the dogworld, I have a lot to share. I want to help people to live their best dog life; whatever that entails. So I hope that if you follow my instagram that you are enjoying it. If not, you can find me at @justdogswithsherri where I try to offer as much free dog information that I can.

I love comments and questions so if you are so inclined, ask away. If you have some content that you would like to hear about, send me a note. I’m easy to reach on my instagram.

With the big day just 2 sleeps away, I am wishing you the best and most wonderful Christmas ever. I will see you in the New Year.
