🐶 Laugh, Love, and Look for Cheese: Life Lessons from Precious

Precious may be small, but her lessons are mighty. Every day, this little chihuahua reminds me that joy is everywhere if you slow down enough to notice it.

🥓Whether it's finding happiness in the smell of breakfast bacon, the perfect spot of sun to nap in, or the excitement of a new toy, Precious teaches me to celebrate the little things. She never misses an opportunity for a belly rub, and she definitely never misses a chance to demand what she deserves—especially if it comes in treat form!

😆But it’s not just about the laughs (though she brings plenty of those). Precious is my calm in the storm. When life feels overwhelming, she's there, grounding me in the present moment with a gentle nudge or a sleepy snuggle. Her quiet presence reminds me to breathe, to focus on what really matters, and to let go of the noise.

📣At the same time, Precious knows exactly what she wants—and she’s never afraid to ask for it. Her determination is something I admire deeply. She’s a tiny teacher in how to stand your ground, communicate clearly, and trust that your needs are important. Whether it's calling for a snack, choosing the best seat in the house (usually the one I'm in), or signaling when she’s ready for her walk, she makes her voice heard—without apology.

Life with Precious is a daily reminder to laugh often, love fiercely, speak up when it matters, and always, always check the floor for dropped cheese. 🧀🐾
