Flip the Pancakes
Hey there!
You know I draw from my own life experience with Morty when I write these pieces. As I keep writing more and more, I realize that I just can’t talk about dogs and leave humans behind, or vice versa. My whole purpose would be out of whack. Dogs and humans have to come together as a TEAM, as a whole.
So let’s talk a little about us humans.
What is our purpose anyway? Answer: To help you be in sync with your dog.
Why? Because greatness is best achieved with others - humans & animals included.
What’s the end result? Humane treatment for humans and animals.
One of my many lofty goals is to help dogs be less misunderstood.
Why? Because I believe the collective “we” (humans & animals) can live together harmoniously once we are in sync and respond to each other's needs appropriately. I aim for sustainable long-term solutions and not just a quick bandage. I aim to inspire you to be the best version of yourself ... for your dog:
To be the Buddha & badass dog parent.
To see dogs as individual whole beings, capable of feeling & experiencing emotions, and to treat them as such.
To create a new & improved generation of pet owners.
You are what you know.
And you can’t change what you don’t know. This is true when it comes to your life, and ultimately your dog’s life too. You have to come to your own conclusion of what kind of life you want to have WITH your dog. I can’t answer that for you.
I don’t think you are drawn to me because of what I do. I think it is because of my audacity to dream BIG. REALLY BIG. Because my BIG dreams give you hope. Hope that one day, we will be less selfish and more generous with support for our dogs. Hope that one day, dogs are no longer an accessory BUT a priority.
So, what kind of “edible” did I have? (Haha, none.) Why am I telling you this “pimp-my-dream” fantasy of mine?
Here is why I share my hopes and dreams with you…
Because to help the dog, I need to get support from you, the gatekeeper. Let me be clear, though. I am NOT asking for your approval to approach the gate.
A Fair Second Chance
I am asking you to PLEASE give your dog a chance, better yet a fair Second Chance.
A FAIR second chance to fail and accomplish.
A FAIR second chance to thrive, AND
A FAIR second chance to be a one-of-a-kind dog that you always wanted, the envy of your neighbors.
To make that happen, you need to SHOW UP and DO the work. For both yourself & for your dog. Morty and I are a work in progress still, and we’ll be right along with you.

If this post sounds nothing like me, well … it is still me. One side of me, that is.
I often say no matter how flat the pancake is, it always has two sides. This is the slightly burnt side of my pancake, with a touch of wild honey.
Enjoy!
