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.
