The Best and Worst Moments of 2016 (according to my dog)

Now that 2017 is underway, I've had some time to reflect and think about all the good and not so good times over the past year. 2016 was an exciting year with many new changes, and it got me thinking: Do dogs reflect over their past experiences? Do dogs reminisce when they're older of "the good old days?" Do dogs ever have regrets? 

Well, if my dog Roxy had to make a list of the best and worst times of 2016 this is what I think her list would look like:

2016- The Good

• Every car ride I went on 
• When it was steak night at home
• Catching chickens
• Catching iguanas 
• Catching the neighbor's cat 
• All those long afternoon naps
• Beach days
• Pool days
• Long walks
• Tons of new toys

2016- The Bad

• Busting through the neighbor's screen porch to catch the neighbor's cat
• Getting a bad infection in my leg from catching the neighbor's cat
• Getting punished after catching the neighbors cat
• Chewing through three sets of living room blinds (yup, that's right, three)
• The time I had explosive diarrhea for three days
• Not being invited to my mom and dad's wedding (I'm still a little mad about this one)
• Not getting to go on trips with my mom and dad 

All in all,  I think once Roxy weighed out the pros and cons of this past year she would most definitely agree she's had a pretty darn good year (minus the neighbor's cat incident). Here's to another great year with our furry friends by our sides! Bring it on 2017 !
