Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

Bradley Morgan 
My Scottie Bradley is just about the cutest dog on the planet. I'm sure there are other cutest dogs on the planet, but this one is my own, my precious. 
It is amazing to me how well he has me trained. And even Steve has become trained, albeit unwillingly. B-Rad likes to wait at our bedroom door in the morning so Steve can let him out and get his food and water. Then Steve and I debate who will let him out after he eats breakfast while we're having ours. Steve loses unless he's especially crabby. I have to go out to get Bradley back in, because he starts to wander. There are swamp bunnies, squirrels, and tomcats to chase after. He has no regard for my clean floors as he comes in covered in dew, weed seeds, and grass clippings. He is nonchalant and stubborn as I try to clean him up a bit before allowed on the tile and rugs. Oh well. I own a mop and a vacuum. He watches me work as if I were created to follow behind His Royal Highness with a swiffer. For all of his necessary treatment, he allows us to throw a ball for him. He has no other reward for us, except to lay around the house, allowing us to adore, admire, and envy him. I wonder if he even knows who the alphas are here.

He used contact paper that we ordered online, and cut it to cover several containers and packages that would have otherwise ended up in the recycle bin. Recycling the packages is good, but finding a use for the packaging is even better, because it uses little energy to create them, aside from the initial manufacturing process of all the parts. Now he has a place for all his supplies on his desk.      Teaching children to use less, waste less, reuse, or donate items that are no longer useful to them is easier when you are using these practices at home yourself. When you develop the mindset that all items can become useful again, even if it means donating them, you als...
