"I love my winter coat!" Hi hooman friends, It’s me, Snickerdoodle, your Chief Wellness Officer, professional napper, and gentle reminder that you don’t need a New Year, New You. You’re already pretty great. This time of year, hoomans talk a lot about resolutions . Big lists. Big pressure. Big “shoulds.” But from where I sit (usually right next to you, hoping you’ll drop a snack), the New Year doesn’t need fixing, it just needs intention . What if this year isn’t about changi

Hi hooman friends! It’s me, Snickerdoodle, your Chief Wellness Officer and professional reminder of what 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 matters. The holidays are one of my favorite times of year. There are twinkly lights to admire on our walks, extra people in the house to greet (and supervise), and a general feeling in the air that something meaningful is being celebrated. And here’s what this wise pup has noticed… The holidays mean many different things to different people. They represent fa

Hi hooman friends, it’s me Snickerdoodle, your Chief Wellness Officer, and expert in all things connection! This week, I’ve been thinking extra hard (yes, even harder than when I try to locate the exact cupboard where the treats live): 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱. Now, as a dog, this is easy for me to understand. Sharing life means:   • Following my hooman everywhere… even to the bathroom.   • Snuggling close during Zoom calls.   • Bringing my toy to anyon

Hi hoomans, It’s me, Snickerdoodle, Chief Wellness Officer at SRJ Collaborative, and Certified Distributor of Feel-Good Vibes. You know what I’ve learned this week? Feeling good is contagious. Seriously. Like tail-wagging-level contagious. The other morning, I woke up extra happy. The kind of happy where your ears flop just right and your paws do a little “good-morning tap dance.” I trotted into the office with my best wiggle walk… and you know what? Mom smiled. Then she laug

Happy Halloween! Hi hooman friends,   It’s me, Snickerdoodle, your Chief Wellness Officer, broom-riding in with some tail-wagging truth this Halloween…   This week, I did something a little spooktacular. I dressed up as a witch: hat, tutu, sass, and all. At first, I wasn’t so sure. What if the other pups barked behind my back? What if the hoomans didn’t recognize me? What if I looked silly?   But then I remembered something important: 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗮

Shout out to Firehouse Pet Shop - Wenatchee, WA Hi hooman friends, It’s me, Snickerdoodle, your Chief Wellness Officer, wagging in some tail-tapping truth today: the past is practice. When I first went to my favorite pet store, I’ll admit it, I was nervous. The smells! The toys calling me from just inside the double doors! The other dogs! My tail was tucked, and my paws were unsure. But my hooman kept bringing me back. Each visit, I got a little braver, a little more curious,

Hi friends, It’s me again, Snickerdoodle , your loyal Chief Wellness Officer at SRJ Collaborative. This week’s message is one I take to heart (and paws): Live Inspired. Now, inspiration doesn’t always show up with flashing lights and big fanfare. Sometimes it’s quiet. Like the smell of fresh grass after rain. Sometimes it’s simple. Like the way a squirrel defies gravity. And sometimes it’s just… choosing to begin the day with a tail wag instead of a sigh. Here’s what I’ve lea
