Puppy Love, How To Read A Dog's Body Language To See If Your Dog Is Happy

What does puppy Stella have to say with her dog body language?
See this sweet doggy smile on this cute pooch. This is my dog Bo's girlfriend Stella.
Stella is dressed as a butterfly for a birthday party.
Notice how her ears are nicely relaxed and her commissure is relaxed and visible. Roughly translated into people terms, the commissure is typically the black outer lip around the corners of a dog's mouth.

We also can tell that Stella is happy because she giving a a dogs version of a happy smile. Her mouth is wide open and relaxed, her tongue is relaxed and flopping out of her mouth. Her happiness is also shown by the upward tilt of her head and her "soft eyes" meaning that her the muscles around her eyes are relaxed and the eyes are softly opened. She is a cutie!

How To Fight Dips In Your Mental Energy

Years ago, while working full time and going to grad school, I developed a Batman utility belt of solutions for the dip in the day. (If you are not familiar with the old Batman hero, he didn't have super powers, instead he had lots of cool stuff to help him fight the bad guys, including a belt filled with fun fighting tools.)

For me the dip comes after I have spent too many hours in front of the computer or just doing the same thing and using the same neural pathways so I like to do something completely different than I am doing to energize my body and mind. I am an avid walker and in the wintertime I put on my walking shoes and go outside for a brisk walk it clears my head and stirs my creative flow. Walking actually syncs up your right and left hemisphere to increase your creativity. I also take an organization break in the afternoon. I put on my phone headset and make a personal call and while I am talking I organize my desk, file papers and receipts and put books back on the book shelves. Since I work out of my house when I am not on the road speaking, another sure fire pick me up is to cook something. I love to chop onions or mince carrots and stir a soup pot it transports and energizes me.
