Dressing Up My Dog For Halloween | Cute Pet Costumes

Am I the only one dressing up my dog for Halloween? There are a lot of cute pet costumes out there, but Sweet Pea is just a little dog so it's a bit tougher to find ones that look good and fit her comfortably. 

In this funny dog video we are playing dress up and trying on a couple cute pet costumes, including a space suit and pumpkin. Never thought I would be one of those pet owners that dresses up their dog for Halloween, but here we are... lol

Sweet Pea is a Morkie... they call a designer dog breed. She's part Yorkshire Terrier, part Maltese and acts like a puppy but she will be 13 years old soon which makes her a senior dog. 

There were no animals harmed in the making of this video... lol 

It is almost Friday | Funny Little Dog 🐶 #shorts

Sweet Pea is just letting you know that it is almost Friday! 🐶 

She's such a funny little dog in this Tiktok trending video, and wants to know if we have any plans for FRIDAY!? My cute little dog is a senior dog. 

She's a Morkie, which is a Maltese / Yorkshire Terrier cross.... they call her a designer breed dog. 

Thank goodness it's almost FRIDAY!! 

Faces light up when they see you 🥰 #shorts

There are people in this world whose faces light up when they see you 🥰 

and it's not because of what you can do, 

or what you can provide, 

or how they can benefit from you! 

It's just because of who you are! 

I LOVE this short video from Havva Ramadan on TikTok❣️ 

It makes you wonder whose faces light up when they see you... just because of who you are. 

Those are the people who LOVE you! 

Be Yourself Motivational Speech 🙏🏼 🎤 #shorts

When you find something that resonates with you, it becomes a shareable moment with the world... or should I say YouTube? The Be Yourself Motivational Speech by Fearless Soul, showed up on TikTok the other day. It was so inspirational I had to share. 🎤

I believe it's important we go for everything we want in life, because we only have one life to live! So we have to give it everything we got and try to make... 

 Our Dreams 

 Our Hopes 

 Our Aspirations 

 Become Reality! 🙏🏼

5 Reasons To Go For A Walk 🏃🏻‍♀️ #shorts

If you’re thinking about getting started on your fitness journey, here are 5 reasons to go for a walk 🏃🏻‍♀️ in a short video… we have to start somewhere.

5 Reasons to go for a WALK 🏃🏻‍♀️:

1. Weight loss & maintaining your weight. Did you know that you can lose weight just walking 30 minutes a day? To start your fitness journey you may need to walk less than that at first, but set a goal and you'll get there quicker than you think and may find yourself going an hour or more eventually.

2. Mobility... relieves joint pain & stiffness. Walking is easier on your joints then running. The more mobile you are the longer you will still have your mobility up and into your older adult years. Notice I didn't say senior... lol 😂

3. Helps relieve STRESS. Walking can be a form of meditation, getting out into nature, fresh air and feeling grounded.  It also releases endorphins, which is our body's natural happy drug, so if you're feeling any anxiety and can't think of what to do... go for a WALK.

4. Easy exercise to boost your energy. Walking is one of the easiest ways to begin a fitness routine and will give you energy throughout your day, and because of the activity during the day, sleep will be easier and more restful.

5. It's FREE!! It can't get any better than this! Walking doesn't cost a thing... you can go for a walk and get your cardio for FREE.
