Boxing Day was good too

I hope you had a good Boxing day. The family love it with all the cold meats from Christmas day and pickles and chutneys. I love it because I get scraps. Now some people think that you should not feed dogs scraps from the table. Before commercial pet food that's what most people did. Dogs got bones to chew and left overs from the table or plates. Dogs were leaner, healthy and did not suffer from so many diseases.

Back to work for the boss today. He is busy sorting out all sorts of maintenance projects over the coming week. D took me out over Christmas which was enjoyable. Christmas day seemed like any other day from a traffic point of view and yesterday the boss thought that the main A road was as busy as a normal work day.

New Year is fast approaching and many people make resolutions that they have no hope of keeping. The problem with New Years resolutions is that they are either to big or said with no plan of commitment. Look loosing 20lbs or 10Kgs is easy to say, but without a plan and commitment - forget it. It's doomed to fail. Plan how to loose the weight and over what period and how are you going to check and modify your habits and behaviour to succeed. Yes habits and behaviour - how did you gain the extra weight? Dogs don't eat for comfort we eat to live and survive and to be able to live our life with purpose. Remember those scraps from the table, often out only source of food other than that we hunted or scavenged else where. We were not feed food from out of a tin that contains additives and preservatives.

Humans have a saying " having no plan to succeed is a plan for failure. If your New Year's resolution is to get out of debt then plan how and impliment it. Just one little change in habit or behaviour can make a big change to your debt or for that matter the weight you loose.

Have a Happy New Year and may your plan succeed as only you can make it- none else.
