Having a new puppy gives me a whole different perspective.

My name is Kieran and I just turned one year old. You can probably tell from my outfit that I have a BIG personality. I hope my list helps you and happy selling!
Wow, I posted almost the same thing yesterday! My nephew reminded me of some great things too.
Sometimes you just have to sit back and crack-up! We should add that to the list too!
Toni - thanks for stopping by - you're right - try to keep a positive outlook and see things as new and challenging.
Georgina - good call on the re-blog... I missed it the first time and it is good stuff!
Hey Georgina,
Thanks for the cute, smart post.
Kieran looks like an angel (an angel who could sell anything!)
One year olds can melt your heart with a simple smile. I remember when my sons were younger and they could get almost anything they wanted with the right look or hug.
Georgina, thanks so much for reblogging!
Now what I would love to see is your sweet, little puppy with a high-energy one year old! I bet they could get in some serious trouble together!
Lara - I wouldn't trust Kona just yet, she has to learn not to bite people so hard! She gets really rowdy just before sunset.
Getting inspiration from a one year old's simple perspective, it doesn't get any better than that.
Georgina - I never read this first blog and I am so glad you decided to re-post it. It is so true and what a handsome baby and the puppy is cute too. It's blogs like this that break up a day and remind you that everything is OK!
Ronnie - thanks for stopping by
Robert - It's OK, it really is.
What an adorable post!!! This one made me smile!
Georgina- A new puppy...that sure has a way of changing our outlook :)
BJ - smiling is good!
Kathy - it's so fun watching her discover new things - and she's up for anything.
Georgina, what a cuttie, Kieran is in his hawaiian shirt and I love your new little puppy. Puppies and children always put smiles on everyones face. Great stress reliever. Thanks for the smile you gave me!
Hi Gena - and thank you for coming by to comment!
