Highlights from the episode:
- Personal enrichment definition ā 1:30 ā My personal definition of enrichment is basically just biological fulfillment, which can sound like a little bit of a technical complex term. But really what that is to me is just ways of allowing our dogs to behave naturally, fulfilling their biological impulses.
- Liking new things over timeā 6:24 ā Enrichment, fulfillment, the activities that we do with our dogs, you know, we don't have to write them off at the very beginning if they aren't an immediate hit. Just like people, dogs can learn things over time.
- Tired versus fulfilled ā 8:33 ā Sometimes we think so much about just, like, tiring our dogs out when it comes to fulfillment and enrichment. And really, it's about this overall feeling of satisfaction.

Whatās a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
