Get Out of the Doghouse Day!

 

It's Get Out of the Doghouse Day!

Can you believe someone or somebodies created this National Day?! - OMG and LMAO

Do you have someone who's fallen out of favor with you (aka F$!d up)?  Have they screwed up, and they need your forgiveness?  Well, I've got some advice: DON'T GIVE THEM A PARDON!

Now, hear me out...

We know it feels good to forgive someone and give them a second chance—and if you're the one who needs a pardon from somebody else… well, that can be really hard. It takes courage to come clean about what you did wrong and apologize for it. And sometimes that's not enough to fix things—sometimes you need to go above and beyond the call of duty in order to make amends.

So here are some things you can do today (or any day) if there's someone who needs your forgiveness: 

• Tell the truth. Here's the thing, telling the truth isn't easy, is it? Especially if you got caught doing something you weren't supposed to. It can be pretty embarrassing, especially if the person who caught you is someone important to you—someone you respect or admire or love. Don't let that thing called EGO and PRDE get in the way.

• Apologize. The only way to fix it is by telling the truth (the whole truths) and apologizing. Be sincere and genuine with your apology, and show them that you're willing to work hard to fix things between the two of you. Changed behavior will stand the test of time.

• Buy them something nice. Maybe buy some flowers, along with a nice meal, a quick get away, or something for your partner that they have been wanting? It depends on what caused the rift between you in the first place! But whatever it is, if it's not too much trouble for you—and if it helps bring your relationship back together—then do it!

Or all three! But don't give them a free pass just because it feels good at first—they'll be back in trouble again before long if they don't actually work on making amends.

And if that doesn't work? Well, then maybe you should go spend some quality time with your dog—pets are always good for a listening ear! 

Make sure you get them a tee to match their energy.
