I’ve never had a dog that liked any kind of citrus, but Lucy loves mandarin oranges. She has mastered the art of getting what she wants à la Steven Covey.
1. Stephen Covey says: Be proactive.
Lucy says: Always be in the room where the mandarin is being eaten.
2.Stephen Covey says: Begin with the end in mind.
Lucy says: Visualize that tiny morsel of deliciousness sliding down your throat and into your tummy.
3.Stephen Covey says: Put first things first.
Lucy says: It is important and urgent that I get a slice of that mandarin.
4.Stephen Covey says: Think win-win.
Lucy says: A piece for Mommy, a piece for Lucy. Sounds like a win-win, to me!
5.Stephen Covey says: Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
Lucy says: You want me to to sit. Look, I am sitting for the next slice.
6. Stephen Covey says: Synergize.
Lucy says: Together, Mommy and I can polish off that mandarin in no time.
7.Stephen Covey says: Sharpen the saw.
Lucy says: We’ve had a snack, let’s take one more walk before bedtime.

What a great mix of words, pictures, and life advice from Stephen Covey. Alternate slice title: Seven Habits of of Highly Effective Bassets 🙂
I considered it, but was too lazy to type it out!
Very clever way to highlight the 7 habits by telling it from Lucy’s point of view. All the added images add to an educational and enjoyable slice!

Adrienne, your post has made me smile, and admire your talent. Being involved in the #SOL18 challenge is wonderful, there are so many new ideas and approaches to experiment with.
Very creative slice! The pictures enhance the text very effectively. Your dog has learned well (or maybe she’s just trained you well!)
I love the photos that go along with this slice! Such a clever way of seeing Steven Covey’s work. You clearly have “writers’ eyes” in this slice. Different perspective. Love it!
I think Lucy has her routine down pat. She knows what she wants and how to get it. Great pictures.
Smart dog! Love the pictures too.
This is just so clever and so cute. What a great idea!
Such a clever slice, Adrienne! And having said that, I need to heed #3 and return to my “work” that’s all around me.
A very fun read and I loved the Lucy photos!
