Paws to You!!!

Happy New Year! Happy 2025! I can hardly sit still—my tail is thumping, my heart is doing zoomies inside my chest, and my paws are tapping and ready to roll. It's a new year, and a new story can be written with brand-new adventures and treats waiting to be sniffed and discovered.

2024 was quite a year! So many things happened - big ambitions, brave steps taken, and unexpected detours.

There were so many days filled with high-speed zoomies, real roll on the floor laughing, beach days I'll never forget, head-out-the-window tail-wagging road trips to new and fun places, and so many memories created that I'll keep for a lifetime and longer.

But not everything was easy. There were twists and turns, disappointments, and judgments that lacked truth and hurt our hearts. There were emergency room visits, vet bills of note, and departures and endings as seasons changed.

All of this made me think about how much better the world would be if people followed my Toffy pawlosophy, where loyalty, honesty, and kindness are always possible. No one is pawfect, and we all make mistakes, so why not forgive instead of fight?

We all have strengths in some areas and not others, but one isn't better than another, just like love and support come in so many ways. Instead of judging, help where you can and how you can, and know your kindness will come back to you in even greater ways. Someone doesn't have to lose for someone else to win.

So, as much as there were days last year that we dreamed of and wished for, there were also days when I just flopped down with a big sigh and stared at Mama, wondering what was coming next. And those were the days we curled up a little closer and longer, to feel more safe and loved.

But at the end of it all, goodness, kindness, and unconditional love prevailed where it mattered most—because no matter what, family and true friends watch your tail like a dog guards a bone. They know life isn't just about the easy days, and there are no ups without the downs.

So, after all the good times and hard lessons I learned last year, I'm excited to share what I'm up to this year so far… I'm unleashing my first online program—Mama says it's a big deal! Think Like Toffy is my very own coaching corner, where I share lessons, tips, and the wisdom I've learned as I liveloveplay, and enjoy every day—happy and content, always looking for the treats in life and others, finding ways to make people smile, being patient and never mad, and staying loyal to those who love me.

I hope Think Like Toffy inspires and supports you as you sniff out your path to what you want most.

So, this new year is your chance to write a new story, chase new balls, let your challenges make you stronger, and choose kindness and compassion more and judgment and division less.

Stay connected with me and join me as I embrace the Toffy pawlosophy through this one precious life. I hope everything I share will inspire you to find tail-wagging moments every day, even when things aren't going your way and it feels like you may never get another treat—but remember, there are always people watching your tail and cheering you on..

And remember, I'll always be here for you with love, licks, and more snuggling than you can imagine as you make this year your best year ever.

So, Paws Up To You! It's your time to shine!

Toffy xoxo
