Try Something New
Try something new whenever you can, because you never know what will make you happy until you try it. We’re all afraid of trying new things at times, but if you can just focus on being yourself and doing what interests you or makes you curious, you’re bound to discover new joy and new fun in life. There’s nothing like being bold, being yourself and doing what makes you happy to make you feel alive. The classic example is Mishu’s adorable first ever day in the snow. Mishu had never seen snow before, and being a survivor, she is naturally suspicious and was afraid. But Mishu is also adventurous and bold, and once she decided to check out the white stuff, she had the time of her life. Lesson learned – if you want to have fun, try something new.
I wonder what it’s like to be a dog in Tokyo…
So I asked my friend @dearmishudad and this is what they said:

My partner is always unsatisfied and gets #angry with me a lot. What should I do, N. Asks, Mishu answers.
Dear N. – I usually run away from people who are angry at me. If they’re angry a lot, I don’t even get near them to start. In my experience angry people can hurt you, so if I were you I would you get away.
I like this girl, but I’m nervous to ask her out. Any advice? A. Asks, Mishu answers
A: Dear A.: When I meet dogs I like, I give them a play bow to say, ‘hey, let’s play.’ If they bow back and start playing – great. If not, that’s ok too. Maybe ask her if she likes to do something you really like, and if she says yes, invite her to join you sometime. If she says no then you can play by yourself or ask someone else to join you….
… Just think – asking someone to play is actually the easy part. The hard part comes if they say yes and you have to learn to get along.
Love,
Mishu

Think about all the fun things you want to do, and what will get you there
Dear Chloe
Maybe when you’re stressed and wanting to eat bad food, think about all the good things you want to do and what food will help you do them! Also, if you’re stressed, maybe a squeaky toy could help?
Love: Mishu

When you’re at a job interview, show them how excited you are to try new things
Dear Abigail: Maybe tell them how excited you are to try new things? Whenever I want to do something new, I make it really, really clear that I want it. For example, if I’m in the car and I can see a lot of trees outside, I constantly make whining noises so my people know I really, really want to go run in the woods and chase some deer.
Love: Mishu

I have to fly in a plane but I’m scared of heights! Any advice, Luke asks, Mishu answers
Dear Luke: I think planes are good because I rode in one when I moved from Guatemala to California. That trip took me from being a rescued street dog to being a pampered American dog. Maybe focus on the good things that can happen from your trip and you won’t be scared?
Love: Mishu
Is anyone here afraid of flying and have some tips for Luke?
My dad always gives me treats, but sometimes he drinks too much beer and yells at my mom. What should I do? Anonymous asks, Mishu answers
You’re a dog, right? Ask her to take you for a walk so she doesn’t have to stay there and be yelled at. You could also cuddle on her lap to protect her.
Be safe!
