Previously This last year was not a great year. I wouldn’t say it was as bad as 2021. But it was a challenging year. 2022 was a year of increasing uncertainty.

@matti Thanks for sharing this. I understand your feelings of frustration about not having projects to show. I have those same feelings as well. But I’d argue that you do have something to show.

@lmika Thanks, Leon. I'm happy that people like the series. It gives me great joy myself to scroll through them and literally see my dog growing up so quickly before my own eyes. 🐶👍

@matti Thanks for sharing this thoughtful perspective. As you know, I consider Daily Doggo to be an important contribution to the delightfulness of the internet. It was interesting reading your thoughts on dog ownership. It's been 12 years since my last dog, over year now with no guinea pigs, and I'm thinking about going back to a dog, but I agree with the points you make.

And congratulations on the engagement! 🥂

@matti I can certainly relate to your feelings about achievements (or the lack thereof). It's a complicated thing to deal with. Congratulations on your engagement, though, and I'll certainly add myself to the list of people who enjoy the DailyDoggo series 😊

@jean Thanks for reading! Nice to hear that you as a former (and maybe future) dog owner feel similarly. It's great fun having a dog. But it's not without its downsides.

@jayeless Thanks! As regards to achievements: I guess the only thing to do is to continue to try.
