My new watering hole! And I don’t drink! Baha! What began as a Kickstarter campaign last year is now in full effect and we experienced it in full throttle! Thrilled to see this couple’s dream come to life.

Ralphie. He stole my heart and my bones when he walked in. Weimaraner of the Year in my book. Couldn’t sit still or fetch if his life depended on it. A dog with his own agenda or no agenda; I just intuitively knew we would get along fabulously.

Emotional self-regulation: “The process model of emotion regulation is based upon the modal model of emotion. The modal model of emotion suggests that the emotion generation process occurs in a particular sequence over time. This sequence occurs as follows:

Situation: the sequence begins with a situation (real or imagined) that is emotionally relevant.
Attention: attention is directed towards the emotional situation.
Appraisal: the emotional situation is evaluated and interpreted.
Response: an emotional response is generated, giving rise to loosely coordinated changes in experiential, behavioral, and physiological response systems.

Because an emotional response (4.) can cause changes to a situation (1.), this model involves a feedback loop from (4.) Response to (1.) Situation. This feedback loop suggests that the emotion generation process can occur recursively, is ongoing, and dynamic.” Wikipedia

I know where you hide. I’ve observed you from where I seek. I’ve wandered behind as you wade between the river beds. I’ve balanced on the train tracks and crossed your frozen lakes. I’ve felt your hands as they cradle babies and salmon berries. And captured your eyes as we pass in the mountain’s mist. I know where you hide. I hide there too.
