@thebiglybestestdoggie: It’s just about time for a brand new year! And, best of all, new opportunities and adventures! So let’s make 2020 the bigliest, bestliest year yet!
Who’s ready to par-tay?
~Happy New Year, friends! Wishing you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2020!~
@thebiglybestestdoggie: I know I’m a little late… but Happy New Year! Sending everyone Bigly Bestest hugs, kisses, and lots of good wishes for a fantastic 2019. I’ve missed you all so much!
I’m so happy to be back!
~Thank you all so, so much for the outpouring of kindness and support you’ve generously shared in these challenging weeks since my mom passed. Jett has proven a million times over that he truly is the bestest doggie I could’ve ever asked for. And you guys are pretty terrific, too.~
Happy New Year!
Speaking of the new year…
I don’t have any New Year’s resolutions.
And I’m far too exhausted from all the, uh, fun and excitement of 2017 to make any.
But anyway, here are a dozen hilariously motivating and inspirational pieces of New Year’s resolution advice to help start the year off with a bang:
(Having realistic goals and expectations helps start the new year off right and prevents instant failure two days in to the year.)
(That’s the spirit! Way to embrace your amazing self, imperfections and all.)
(If you make any resolutions at all this year, this ought to be it.)
(This is a great way to take the pressure off. If you succeed in somehow bettering yourself, great. If you don’t, nothing lost. It’s a win-win!)
(Go big or go home, right? So why not aim to fail in the grandest of manners?)
(Ah, so that’s what all the fuss is about? A week-long To Do list? When you look at it that way, it really doesn’t sound so daunting.)
(What a terrific idea! Everything about it has the makings of a successful business concept.)
(For those of you with kids, it is imperative to set goals that are practical, attainable, and won’t drive you to drinking in the event of miserly defeat.)
(Nothing beats the feeling of knowing that all your friends are rooting for your failure. Oh well. Who needs them, anyway? The resolutions, that is. Not the friends. Friends are good. Well, mostly.)
(Some of us struggle with being able to identify realistic goals. It happens. Fortunately, there’s always someone who’s eager to help set the record straight.)
(Hey! Being a smart-ass is a talent, not a bad vice that needs to be obliterated. Geez!)
(Now this I can handle! Being awesome is…well, awesome! Always choose to be awesome.)
Whether or not you made any resolutions for 2018, just remember this:
Stay positive, keep smiling, and always try to find the humor in whatever life throws your way.
~Happy Friday, friends! Best wishes for a bright 2018!~

@thebiglybestestdoggie: This year, I resolve to show more affection by licking everyone/everything in sight, eat fewer rocks, sniff more butts, and spend more time snuggling with Lamb Chop. It’s gonna be a great year!
~Happy New Year! If you’re not in to making New Year’s resolutions, take a cue from doggies everywhere and keep it simple. Or better yet, save yourself the stress and just keep being awesome!~
And so another year comes to a close.
Whew!
Where has the time gone?
Oh, wait.
I know.
As my oldest child would say…
Down the toilet.
Yeah.
Sounds about right.
Like any other year, there have been ups and downs.
But with any luck, the highs have more than balanced out the lows.
That seems to be the key to maintaining one’s sanity.
More or less.
But sanity is overrated.
So if 2017 wasn’t your personal best, fret not.
2018 is waiting right around the corner with the promise of a brighter year.
Let’s usher in the upcoming year with a bit of humorous inspiration from Mark Twain, shall we?
“New Year’s Day: Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.”
Ah, yes.
Sounds like a mighty fine plan, indeed!
~Quirky Girl and The Bigly Bestest Doggie would like to take this opportunity to wish all our wonderful friends a bright, fantastic, and prosperous 2018! Let’s make it amazing!~
Oh, hi there! Hey, wait a second! It’s not time for Tuesday Tails ‘n’ Tweets yet… is it?
Sometimes I have to wonder why I was put on this earth.
Well, one thing is for certain:
It sure as hell wasn’t for my domestic skills.
The world probably isn’t deficient in people who are disturbingly proficient at folding fitted sheets by rolling them into big, blobulous balls of fabric.
So that can’t possibly be it.
Hmmm…
Is it solely for my ability to load and unload the dishwasher?
Granted, I do a commendable job of balancing creativity and efficiency by cramming the crap out of the dishwasher with my mad Tetris skills.
But I can’t imagine that could possibly be it, either.
With the start of a new year, my brain has been doing that thing again.
You know, that thing where it encourages deeper and more intense thinking about…things.
Like purpose.
And I do contemplate my purpose, from time to time.
But mostly, I just try to get through the day without major disaster, chaos, or injury.
It’s the little things, right?
But getting back to purpose.
If I sit down and think about all the things I routinely manage to accomplish in the course of a day…
Chauffeuring kids to school in a crazed frenzy?
Running/folding a dozen loads of laundry?
Pushing the vacuum around the house?
Emptying overflowing trash?
Yeah, not very inspiring.
And these things definitely don’t hold much potential in the way of achieving a sense of purpose.
Oh, well.
Some of the more promising options on my list:
Unclogging the toilet during dinner?
(Thanks, boys! Can’t think of anything else I’d rather be doing.)
Being used for Nerf target practice while carrying a stack of fancy plates?
(I suppose a good challenge never hurt anyone…)
Slamming baseballs over the fence to flaunt my awesomeness?
(I am pretty good at hitting things.)
Making people laugh with my offbeat humor?
(Now we’re talking!)
If I was put on this earth to share the gift of humor through my writing, I’d be most honored.
But if that’s not my true purpose, I can only hope it’s not because I’m on track to becoming the World’s Best Toilet-Unclogger.
~Happy Friday, friends! Hope the first week of the new year has been treating you well!~
What’s your superpower? I mean, purpose?
Happy (almost) New Year!
Speaking of the new year…
I don’t have any New Year’s resolutions.
And I’m far too exhausted from all the…fun and excitement…of 2016 to make any right now.
At any rate, here are a dozen useful pieces of New Year’s resolution advice to start the year off with a bang:
(Having realistic goals and expectations will help start the new year off right and prevent you from being an instant failure two days in to the year.)
(That’s the spirit! Way to embrace your amazing self, imperfections and all.)
(If you make any resolutions at all this coming year, this ought to be it.)
(This is a great way to take the pressure off. If you succeed in somehow bettering yourself, great. If you don’t, nothing lost. It’s a win-win!)
(Go big or go home, right? So why not aim to fail in the grandest of manners?)
(Ah, so that’s what all the fuss is about? A week-long To Do list? When you look at it that way, it really doesn’t sound so daunting.)

Whether or not you end up making any resolutions for the new year, just remember this:
Stay positive, keep smiling, and always try to find the humor in whatever life throws your way.
~Happy Friday, friends! Best wishes for a bright and prosperous 2017!~
Happy 2016!
