Quote Of The Day 05.22.25​

“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”
— Winnie the Pooh, A.A. Milne​

It’s funny how true this is, isn’t it? The things that end up meaning the most sometimes aren’t the big events or milestone moments—they’re the little ones. A warm cup of tea on a bad day, a laugh shared with someone special, the smell of cookies baking, or a handwritten note tucked into your mailbox.

I still remember the way my dog used to rest his chin in my palm every time I held it out. It always made me smile. He’s been gone for years now, but that little moment lives on in my heart.

What’s one small thing that’s meant the world to you? A gesture, a sound, a smell—something simple, but unforgettable. We’d love to hear your story in the comments below!

Everything about my sweet boy, RuDog Valentino (born on Valentine’s Day). He‘s been gone more years than he was with me - but his cuddles, nudging, playfulness and hugs will be in my heart forever.

My godmother gave me a stuffed dog that has her hair on it. I still have it.
