Great Pyrenees New Year’s Resolutions
I’m not one to make resolutions for the new year, but I do always set goals for myself. I have a lot of goals this year, many involving Mauja and Atka. This year I will finally get the courage to take Atka for his therapy test – I know we can do it!
Setting my own goals got me thinking, shouldn’t the fluffies have goals, too? Here are Mauja and Atka’s Great Pyrenees New Year’s Resolutions for 2017.Mauja
- Accept that outdoor cats are okay and eliminate the need to yell at them to come inside everytime one passes the house.
- On the rare occasion that the bed is chosen as the ideal place to sleep, sleep on mommy’s side of the bed rather than daddy’s (unlike Nick, I don’t mind being squished!).
- Be less of a drama queen about wearing a harness.
- Stop sneezing in people’s faces.
I asked Mauja if she had anything she felt she should add to her list. She said she only has one goal for 2017: eat more marshmallows. 
She didn’t want to hear it when I told her she gets quite enough marshmallows.
Atka
- Stop hovering over Mauja as she finishes her treat. If she decides she doesn’t want the rest of it, she’ll walk away – no need to stay so close
- Trust that the neighbor using the very tall ladder in his backyard knows what he’s doing. Barking at him is only distracting.
- Close mouth and swallow before walking away from the water bowl.
- Refrain from trying to lie down in and/or drink out of every puddle.
I also asked Atka if he had anything to add to his list. Atka’s 2017 goal: figure out how to keep Mauja off of his blanket.
Fair, Atka. Fair. She is becoming quite the blanket hog these days.
I could list many, many Great Pyrenees New Year’s Resolutions, but I’m trying to keep things reasonable here 
Do you think your dog should have any goals for 2017? If you asked your dog, what would he say his goals would be?
