#i spent so much time being embarrassed by mavs jubilant personality

[abirddogmoment]

realized today that I'm so done being embarrassed by my puppy's normal harmless age-appropriate behaviours

#sorry i cant hear your unsolicited advice over the sound of her awroo-ing #because its the best day of her entire life #this is specifically about like wriggling and sticking her leggies out #(NOT like lunging or barking at dogs etc) #this is specifically harmless behaviour im managing thats lightly annoying #i spent so much time being embarrassed by mavs jubilant personality #i cant go that route with rory too #oh in puppy class she wants to make heart eyes at the teacher instead of practicing sit? #no problem shes four months old #oh she wants to worm around on a snuffle mat instead of use it properly? #yeah its fine shes four months old? #shes very sweet and very dumb its fine shes literally four months old #she will get there eventually #i wont be embarrassed about her age appropriate behaviours in appropriate settings #interestingly i think i internalized this before i really realized it #i havent been embarrassed about a single thing shes done so far #and i was constantly embarrassed about mav at this age so #hashtag character development
