Dogs are not just any animal, they have a sense of love and compassion in them that is so strong that humans just melt in front of them. I was drinking my coffee this morning with my dog by my side looking out the window in my family room.

Everyday since quarantine I have been going on Netflix every night and watching things for hours and hours with no end at all in sight. Even though this constant entertainment felt good and me feel good, was it actually healthy for my brain and my body to be doing this almost every night? Hmmmm….. About a year ago my best friend was obsessed with this chemical in the brain called dopamine and how certain things like entertainment, drugs, and activities affected and drained our dopamine receptors.
