This story is such a great reminder of the importance of staying calm and not letting others’ negativity affect us. Zee’s reaction is a perfect example of “being the bigger dog” and not taking things personally. It’s a lesson we can all apply to our daily lives, whether dealing with strangers or colleagues.

You were one of my first friends here... because of your name at first. Then I realized what a beautiful soul you are. It must come with the name!! ❤️🩵🩷💜💚

I used to have a Portuguese Water Dog who was completely unflappable. If a dog could shrug, that's what he'd do whenever another dog barked at him. It was a great attitude.

Zee sitting there while the other dog loses his whole mind is such a clean flex~

That's a great story with a message in how Zee acted that I know I should certainly try and take heed of more.

Thanks for sharing that.

What a perspective I love it....of course I love your writing anyways and yes still reading....sounds like you should have named Zee....Zen cause he sure understood it....but you were also a good mommy and taught him well....which means you have that same philosophy....
