On Melancholy


Often I am full of the joys of life. Sometimes I have a deep feeling of contentment. At other times I feel a bit down in the dumps. When this happens, I just allow myself to be like that and go with it. Fighting it only prolongs it and turns it into something worse.

Life is great when you allow yourself to feel what you are feeling.

Good point, Ruby Isabella. A little of "just going with how you feel" isn't a bad thing. Black Jack doesn't get this look very often, but it seems to be mostly saved for the times when she believes she is due either a meal or her bully stick. I think she works it, knowing it's pretty well guaranteed to result in the desired response from me (give her whatever is due). What do you think?

Who can resist the hound eyes?

Black dogs should be allowed to be melancholy occasionally.

You are very wise little one. Yes, just go with the flow.
