Bradshaw’s Guide to Staying Calm: Even When Your Clicker’s MIA

We've all been there. You're settled in for a cozy night with your favorite snacks, ready to binge-watch the latest season of whatever-you're-watching. You reach for the remote... and it's gone. Vanished. MIA.

Suddenly, your heart rate speeds up. You frantically search between couch cushions, under furniture, even behind the TV (because, hey, stranger things have happened).

Sound familiar?

As a canine connoisseur of comfort, I, Bradshaw, am here to tell you: It's okay! Losing the remote doesn't have to turn into a tail-chasing frenzy.

How to Channel Your Inner Zen Master (Even Without a Clicker)

1. Pause and Breathe: Just like Mom and Dad tell you to do when you see a squirrel outside the window, take a deep breath. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Repeat until the initial panic subsides.

2. Retrace Your Steps: Think back to the last time you saw the remote. Was it during a particularly gripping scene in your show? Did you have it while enjoying a tasty treat? Retracing your steps can often lead you right back to your missing clicker.

3. Check the Usual Suspects: You know the spots: under the couch cushions, behind the furniture, maybe even in the toy bin (we've all been there, right?).

4. Call in the Reinforcements: Sometimes, a fresh set of eyes is all it takes. Ask your human companions to help with the search. They might spot it in a place you overlooked.

5. Embrace the Unexpected: Still can't find the remote? Don't despair! This could be the perfect opportunity to try something new. Read a book, play a game, or simply enjoy some quality time with your loved ones.

Remember: It's Just a Remote!

In the grand scheme of things, a missing remote is a minor inconvenience. Don't let it ruin your day. Take a deep breath, follow these tips, and remember: a little bit of calm goes a long way!

And hey, if all else fails, you can always resort to the old-fashioned method: getting up and changing the channel manually. It might even count as exercise! 😉
