It’s funny how the home stretch for a therapist is always so far away… 💻💕

Not Goose exposing me like this… 👀🐾💋

Apparently, the Behaviour Support Practitioner needs to take her own advice when it comes to emotional regulation. 😂💗

Even the professionals need a reminder to practise what they preach!

Goose brings joy, love and a little bit of magic to everyone he meets… but never forget, he was Mumma’s boy first. 🥹🐾🤍

My boy, my best friend, my whole heart. Forever Mumma’s baby. 🤍

“Refusing to get dressed” isn’t always defiance. 🐶
Goose can’t tell you if the sweater itches, if leaving his toy feels too hard, if it’s one demand too many, or if he’s just wiped out. So he shows you.

Behaviour is communication. Before you ask “why won’t they?”, try “what are they telling me?”

Save this for the next tough morning. 💗

Mum runs PBS… I provide the behaviours. 🤝🐾

It’s a very successful partnership, really. She identifies the function, writes the strategies, implements the supports… and I immediately develop a brand-new behaviour she didn’t account for. 😌

Keeping her humble, one zoomie at a time.
