Hi lovely people, I caught a bug and need to cancel the community call tomorrow, Wednesday 12.8. Thank you for understanding. Much love, Birdy 💛

Pax: “Mum, you are STILL on the couch?!? To be honest…this is very boring for me. Very inconveniencing.“ *Sighs deeply while making direct eye contact* 🙄😂 Pax is such a lovely boy, but you mess with his outside runs, he will let you know 😂

I need to step away from most of my social platforms for a while. Prepping to move away from Tasmania is proving to be a considerably more difficult journey than anticipated and I'm finding myself slipping into a burnout spiral. Today I am forced to sell my older pony, and it's weighing extremely heavy. Everything I currently know, and have worked for is being sorted through, packed up, sold or left behind. The last 26 years of my life stripped bare. I know this needs to happen to move forward to create a bigger brighter future and a better life, but it is brutally confronting and exhausting on so many levels. There is nobody here to help and I have to navigate this task alone. My dogs keep me grounded, and so far this community has kept me sane. But right now contributing to yet another platform is leaving me far too drained. I must away to fully submerge deep in PAWS, I will sit in on community calls when I can and will read but not post. My inbox is always open. Big love x

Hi lovely people, As discussed in our last community call, here is my summary of the community tidy-up that we talked about. I just put it down in writing as I know quite a few people couldn't make it. I’ve finally done a little tidying behind the scenes and simplified some of our categories to hopefully make it easier to know where things belong. Thank you everyone for the feedback in the last call. ✨ Magical Glimmer Moments I’ve merged a few of our previous categories into this one. This is the place for those beautiful little moments with your dogs that make you smile, pause, appreciate or notice a bit of everyday magic. 💛 Community Circle Our general gathering space! Use this for conversations, questions, announcements, sharing what’s happening, asking for support or starting a discussion with the community. 📚 Resources Found an interesting article? A fascinating bit of science? A cool fact, podcast, video or resource you think others might enjoy? Pop it in here. 😂 Joy Scroll This is our deliberately happy corner of the internet. Memes, funny dog pictures, ridiculous moments, humour and anything that gives us a little dose of joy. And one little reminder… Please try to keep posts dog-centric. 🐕💛 That doesn’t mean we can’t talk about ourselves. In fact, so much of The Magic in Dogs is about us humans and the lives we share with our dogs. But when you post, have a little think: ✨Where’s the dog connection?✨ Your story, experience, thought, struggle, funny moment or interesting fact can absolutely be about human life, but finding the thread that connects it back to dogs helps keep this community coherent and makes The Magic in Dogs feel different from a general Facebook feed. There are a million places online where we can post everything happening in our lives. This little corner has a purpose: Happier Dogs. Happier Humans. And discovering a little magic together. ✨ Thank you for helping me protect what makes this community special. I couldn't do it without you. 🥹

Such a magical way to wake up 🥹💛🙏
