What can I say, I love these dogs.
It would be fair to add that I also appreciate the understated, dry humor of the Brits (or Scots, or ...).
If you are inclined to set some goals for the start of the year remember, it takes a while for something to become a habit. If you're going to do it, you must commit to it for about four weeks. The option, of course, is to take the advice of "two very good dogs" and just "aim low."
