Positive Perspective: August 31, 2021

After I divulged the information about our not so awesome August, let me give you a positive update.   You may not know this, but us dogs do have a way of helping our human friends.  Yup, we are keen to assist them in putting everything in perspective.  Actually, it was Nancy’s friend Sue that talked some sense into her which I overheard over a series of phone calls.  OK, “it takes a village” to raise adults too you know!…

I really love my life!   How many dogs can say that they leisurely can sit on the hillside waiting for the mail person?  Well, this dog can and as the photos display, we often do just that.   We sit and listen to the birds and sometimes noisy traffic nearby.  Sure, we often are trying to make sure we reach those 10,000 steps a day; but, more importantly, we stroll as if time does not matter.   When life…

However, a few additional walks and sitting near our favorite trees definitely is the perfect solution.  It allows us to view our situations from the outside.   As we look in, we hear ourselves say, let it go and allow it to take it’s time.

Music for the Pigs, August 1, 2021

Music for the Pigs, August 1, 2021

I was appalled when I witnessed Nancy walking out of the house with her saxophone toward the neighbor’s pig pen. Out of the blue, she scooped up her saxophone and didn’t even give me time to plead to tag along. I guess I do get a bit rambunctious when we go visit the pigs? (Come on, I don’t get out much!)   Oh sure, she left the front door shade open so I could  sit there yearning to be with…
