While people have been making their own new year?s resolutions, I decided to let my dogs, Sanchez and Gina, make mine for me. Here?s what they had to say:

• Spend more time at the piano (We love sleeping under it while you play.)

• Take more breaks from the computer

• Remember to play (especially with us)

• Perform more concerts for dogs
• Be patient with me in my senior years (from Sanchez). I?m giving you an opportunity to slow down and remember that every moment in life is a gift.

If your pets made your new year?s resolutions, what would they say? Thanks for telling us in a comment below.
