Do you think dog's are like us when they feel a stray hair touching them? 

My dog seemed to be enjoying her longer hair, so I went with it.  When we were living in the country, I kept it short for practical purposes.  I happen to love the 80's, so her bigger hair makes me smile.  Her 80's hair game is lit! 

I'm noticing she freaks like she walked through a spider web when her muzzle hair touches her paws, or when her fuzzier tail swings up and touches her back.  Oh man!  Giggles for days.  I'm not cruel though.  I took her to the groomers today for a lil trim.  We'll see if that helps her freak factor.  We are, however, gonna keep her hair long enough for a barrette on top.  That's how she'd want it.  ;)   

We all know them.  We all have them in our lives whether it's family, spouse, or a coworker.  There is no talent in being an ass.  Zero.  We all have bad days &/or bad moods.  That doesn't give us an excuse to throw our bad energy front and center, making it everyone else's problem to deal with.  Talent lies in the ability to govern our emotions.  To put on a smile and soldier on.  Because we all have our trials and tribulations.  The key is to overcome not succumb.  Not to punish the people around you.  Difficult personalities are exhausting and can suck the life out of a situation.  Being difficult doesn't make them more powerful, more special or more "real".  It just makes them more of an intolerable jerk.
