The trait I value most about myself is patience — stubborn, soft, stubbornly patient.
Patience is what got me through sleepless puppy nights, chewed-up shoes, and the “why won’t you eat this?” stare-offs at the dinner bowl. It’s the quiet muscle that let me sit with Romo when he was scared of stairs, coax Sauli through new routines after a move, and keep trying new recipes when Sugarplum politely (and repeatedly) rejected my early attempts.
That same patience shows up in my work. It’s why Pawrenting Guide for the New Pawrent isn’t a list of perfect fixes but a steady hand—full of realistic tips and gentle encouragement for people who are learning as they go. And it’s why Cooking for Your Pup focuses on simple, repeatable recipes: the kind you can make over and over, tweaking as needed, until you find what your dog truly loves.
Patience lets me turn mistakes into experiments (and mishaps into stories). It’s the reason I still try a new training technique after a dozen fails, or keep testing that carrot-and-peanut-butter cookie until it earns two enthusiastic wags. More than anything, patience has taught me that loving a pet is an ongoing practice — small acts repeated, day after day — and those steady, ordinary moments are where the magic lives.
