Everyone from five to ninety-five who has ever owned a dog must have wondered at times just how their pets think. What do they think about? What do they think about us, the humans? If only they could talk and tell us their thoughts! All dogs are individuals, just like humans, with different personalities to match. We can get some idea about how they feel, but its just guesswork. Barry and Pam have had many canine friends through their family life, and its these dogs that enlighten us about human behavior. Their first dogs were inseparable because they were a brother and sister called Shah and Sheba. Then came Fiver, who cost a fiver; followed by Nix, who cost nothing; Bandit, who had a long life; and during his time, Sooty arrived; and at the farm, they adopted Scooter who was in need of a home. This is their story.
I answered an ad on Rightdoor, a neighborhood page; for a roommate for 6 months that turned into 11 months of Hell. I allowed two different women to move in with him, where both were useless to him and I finally had to tell him after #!GF showed up looking for money to buy drugs while pregnant at 3/am. I watched her on RIng peeping through the front window. #2GF comes along and she is just as bad if not worse than GF#!. He was being used by both and admits that he was and didn’t know how to handle it or take my elderly advice about what I saw. It only got worse from there, multiple police calls, notice to vacate, anxiety attach and finally eviction. A story worth reading if you ever think about getting a roommate, think twice. I will never do it again!

When Dr. Farrell began teaching couples’ communication 30 years ago, he taught the wisdom of not being defensive in response to criticism. However, when a couple returned home and a criticism inevitably appeared, that wisdom disappeared. Couples needed to not just be taught this, but to practice both in the workshop and at home. With the help of decades of post-workshop feedback from real couples, Farrell perfected six mindsets that the couples found most effective to embrace criticism as an opportunity to feel more deeply loved—even while they are being criticized.
