In our fast paced, hectic world it is increasingly hard to be perfect, and yet still we persist in trying to be. Trying to be the perfect wife/mother/daughter/sister/friend etc to have the perfect house, the perfect job, the perfect life. But how many of us actually achieve perfection? I know I haven’t, in fact I would say I was far from perfect, but you know what – I kind of like it that way.

I often say I’m coming back as my dog, she makes the most of every minute of life. If, like me you’re lucky enough to have a furry friend you’ll recognise most of these lessons that our canine companions can teach us about living in the moment.
