A Christmas Morning Walk

I swear this is the best way to start the day before the heat kicks in.  Start early so that the air and ground is still cool, everything’s quiet, and your dog is already beside themselves with happiness. It’s such a calm little moment before the chaos starts.

One New Ornament Each Year

This one is really cute. Pick an ornament that represents something from your year. It could be a tiny photo of your dog, something funny, something beachy. Over time your tree becomes a little memory wall instead of just “random decorations I panic-bought.” Or If you are or have been a client of mine, you can order a photo Christmas ornaments of your dog to put on the tree!

A Christmas Sniff Adventure

Choose a new place every December for a little wander. A shady trail, a walk around Lake Burley Griffin, or an evening walk around street to see the Christmas lights and decorations neighbours has put up. Your dog gets all the exciting smells and you get a break from the December rush. It’s simple but honestly so nice.
