Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

I would like to share with you today the biggest lesson I've learned from my dog and dare I say

pretty much all dogs well I can't speak for every single dog in the universe but this is a lesson I've seen from my dog over the years.

She's going to be 15 next year.

I've got a 15 year old Yorkie. I can see signs of her aging.

Maybe some of you can relate, you know the emotions that come with that.

But I've learned this lesson from her and I've observed it in other dogs,

and I'm like like I love it. I'm here for it. I support it. I think we could all do it a bit more. Okay, so if I sit down my dog sits on my lap, right? Or she scratches around to let me know where she wants to sit.

Whenever a guest comes over, she'll jump on their lap, she will sniff around for their food. She will walk around when I'm in the kitchen showing me with her cute little eyes. Hey, I want some of that. What are you chopping? I want some. Wait, is that steak you're frying? That smells good.

The lesson that I have learned from

sweet little coconut she's on my Instagram if you want to see any pictures is that you don't have to question taking up space, your worthiness, and whether or not people like you.

I think about that. Dogs assume... and whether or not people like you.

I think about that dogs assume you like them.

Right they run up to you, they lick you, they interact with you,

they're not like, ooh, do you like me,

am I cool enough for you? They just assume the world is a friendly is a friendly place

Everyone likes them and they can do what they want that thing that they want they go for it

They want to play they play they want to sleep they sleep they want to beg for food they beg for food they want to eat they eat they

want to walk and extend it you know that your dog will let you know they don't want to

end their walk. Could we act a bit more like that? Could we be a bit more

Assumptive that we should get what we want? Everyone likes us. Dogs don't

question their worthiness. They don't go, oh, you know, I know I don't pay any rent here and I don't make any
