Today - Sept 16th - is 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, which seems especially appropriate here in Haven. First, because many of us are exactly the kind of wonderfully weird people who will stop in the middle of a walk, pick something up off the ground and announce: “LOOK AT THIS ROCK.” And everyone else will appropriately admire the rock. 😂 But there's an even better reason to celebrate today… Because sometimes you stumble across a little nugget that turns out to be absolutely priceless. ✨ And that's our Nugget. Nugget got her name because, unlike most Labradors—who come equipped with long, coffee-table-clearing billy clubs for tails—our girl has the most adorable little stubby nugget of a tail. And WHAT SHE LACKS IN LENGTH, SHE MAKES UP FOR IN VELOCITY. When Nugget gets excited, that tiny tail starts going approximately 10 wiggles per second, at which point her entire backside has no choice but to join the operation. It's less “wagging her tail” and more “full-body joy has been activated.” 😂 But underneath all that wiggly Labrador silliness is one of the sweetest souls you could ever hope to meet. Nugget knows when someone is hurting. She doesn't approve of crying. She doesn't particularly care for bad days. And she certainly doesn't believe anyone should have to go through either one without a Labrador nearby. If your heart hurts, Nugget wants to comfort it. If you're sad, she's coming closer. And if you're happy to see her? Well… INITIATE THE BUTT WIGGLE. 🐾💨 So on Collect Rocks Day, Haven, go ahead and pick up the sparkly ones, the striped ones, the weird ones, and that completely ordinary-looking one that nevertheless tells you it MUST come home with you. But remember: Some people spend their whole lives looking for gold. We already found our Nugget. 💜 Happy Birthday to our tiny-tailed, whole-butt-wagging, tear-detecting, heart-comforting, absolutely priceless little treasure. We love you, 𝘕𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘵. May your birthday contain treats, belly rubs, people who need comforting, and enough excitement to register at least a 9.7 on the Labrador Butt-Wiggle Scale. 🎂🐾✨

Let's see what "team" we're on - purely for fun. Feel free to add a comment (words, GIF, image, combo) and tell us about your favorite type or brand.

I'm excited to have @Kerry Upham you're in the haven! This is someone works with parents of the kids like all of us and I'm quite sure we'll be creating some magic together. Please help welcome Kerry!

Here we are at the weekend and this is a great time to pause and celebrate your wins... The things that went well. It's also totally acceptable to celebrate the wobbles! Those things that did not quite go as you had wished or hoped or wanted. I've definitely had some of both this week! And I'm sure you have as well. I will share mine in the comments but let me just say one thing I'm involved with put a big deadline right here in the middle of eclipse season.. and lots of people are feeling very much eclipsed as we are marching towards this deadline. And - #Skool Events Daily for Aug 24-30 😆

No right or wrong answers. No judgment.
