Hey lovely folks, I’m going to have a Zoom call this afternoon with one of Australia’s loveliest and very respected trauma therapists to tell him about the magic in dogs (Dr Andrew Phipps). He specialises in supporting the happy child in all of us and is a dog lover as well. We shall see what comes from it. But I’m excited to get to share it with him. 🤩

Today marks the half way point in our 28 day journey of practicing PAWS. Today is a great time to check in with yourself, why you are doing this. So here are a few questions to ask yourself: - how are you doing with honouring your intention you set for yourself at the beginning? - What are some challenges? - Are you noticing any changes? I’d love to hear about it! Much love, Birdy & Pax 💛

Sorry I haven't been around for a few days. Been really sick.

How are you doing friends? We are 5 days in and how are you travelling? Also, I just recorded another goodie called "Visiting the River with your dog" and it's one of the strongest tools that helps me on a day when my mind is loud. Check it out and let me know how you go. 🥰 Much love, Birdy & Pax 💛

Hello and welcome. I'm so glad you're here. 💛 I honestly have to pinch myself knowing that people are joining us and help us build this movement and new take on wellbeing. Over the next 28 days, we'll explore a simple but powerful question: What if your dog could help improve your wellbeing? PAWS stands for: ✨ Pause✨ Appreciate✨ Wonder✨ Share Together we'll discover how small moments with our dogs can help us feel calmer, more connected, more grateful, and more present. This isn't about being the perfect dog owner. Believe me, you will see in my Pjs, with messy hair, slobber on my clothes but a with a big smile on my face and Pax's face. I also have quite the potty mouth 😜 So please don't feel any pressure to perform. This isn't another challenge you need to complete perfectly. This is a gentle wellbeing journey. Some days you'll dive deeply into the activities. Some days you might only spend a few moments reflecting on a prompt. Both count. Your dog isn't keeping score, and neither am I. 💛 A few community guidelines ✨Be kind. ✨Share, don't compare. ✨Progress over perfection. ✨Help create a space where people feel safe to contribute. Start Here ✨Please introduce yourself below and tell us: ✨Your name ✨Your dog's name ✨Where you're joining from ✨One thing you'd love more of in your life right now (More joy? More calm? More energy? More connection?) I and honestly, the rest of the group, would love to get to know you and your dogs. Thank you for being part of this very first PAWS Month. I can't wait to share this journey with you. Much love, Birdy & Pax 💛
