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, and a whole lot more confident.

Now? The second we turn onto that street, I’m wiggling, wagging, and doing my happy dance because I know what’s waiting for me: treats, belly rubs, and friendly faces.

That’s the magic of 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲. What once made you nervous can one day make you joyful. The past doesn’t hold you back, it helps you build courage for what’s next.

You hoomans sometimes get stuck staring in the rearview mirror, replaying old mistakes, wishing you’d barked up a different tree. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱? Every meeting, every misstep, every moment you thought you “blew it” was just a training session for who you’re becoming.

So, shake it off.

Celebrate how far you’ve come.

And remember, the past doesn’t 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦 you. It 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you.

Tail wags and courage sniffs,

𝗦𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲
