Oh Dog! DeDe here with this week’s tip for looking and feeling your best!
This week’s tip: Cultivate relationships with supportive friends and family.
I find it sad that in a world of over 6 billion people, it can sometimes be difficult to find supportive relationships. But they are out there! When you find them, keep them.
Some of you are fortunate to have supportive family. Some of you aren’t. But you can create your own family with people who care about you.
Bad things happen. We all know that. But sharing the burden with others makes the bad easier to bear.
And the good stuff? Amazingly, it feels better to share in the joy of others than to experience one’s own joy alone.
So this week let’s make it a point to find a friend, and be a friend!
And remember to never leave home without this essential beauty product- a smile!
.
Speaking of sharing in the joy of others, we’re sharing in the joy of our friends’ being finalists in the Dogtime Petties Awards. Please vote today and every day through the month of July! We’re specifically asking for your help in voting for Animal Shelter Volunteer as Best Cause Blog and The Creative Cat as Best Cat Blog.

Thanks Cupcake! Have a great week!
I really like the last two pictures. The dogs and the cats are the same family.
Wise words DeDe
Smiles are–without a doubt–the most attractive feature we all possess. I feel better after seeing a person smiling! ‘Gots to keep yer happy…:)
Those are great tips DeDe!

Friends are always the best. Or as Freddy said: Friends will be friends
When you’re in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you’re through with life and all hope is lost ..

I have been through some bad times in the last 2 years and without my good friends at church, at the Senior Citizens center I attend plus my daughter and her kids I would be in such bad shape. they all supported my with love and help and good thoughts. I am doing my best to do the same for any of them that need the same to pay them back for the help they gave me.
