Sophie's Words of Wisdom
Sophie is my French Bulldog and an inspiration (and influencer) for my WorthWild work. She loves the outdoors and has an adventure streak in her just like me. She uses all her senses--smelling, seeing, hearing, tasting and touching--during a walk in the woods, kayaking on a lake, strolling down a city street, sniffing out the best vendor options at a farmers market, playing at dog parks, and making human and canine friends wherever we eat and travel. Watching her use her senses to connect with nature invites me to explore the surroundings in my own ways as well. Sophie embodies nature with her enthusiastic responses to what she notices. She is my teacher and reminds me, "Be awake to the world!"

Latest From the Dog Park
Sometimes I get stitchy, a description used by my human family. It happens when I’m overly tired or have too much energy. I never bite but I look like I’m in attack mode with a pounce, head bop and bark. I make sure no one can catch me. When I’m ignored, I pounce and bark from different angles and often get more riled up. I can’t help myself and it releases something pent up in me. When someone finally catches me and holds me in their arms or in their lap, I relax and feel calm again.
Who or what makes you feel calm after a tough day?
