Family Reunion: November 4, 2022
There was a family reunion (without dogs) from Nancy’s family side last weekend. Of course, with people’s busy schedules, there were a lot of people unable to attend. Actually, I prefer to think that they chose not attending because they weren’t going to see me? Oh my, sometimes, I can really be self-absorbed and that is not meant to happen as a dog. I just pinch my tail and I am set back to my reality.
I materialized in my brain the brilliant idea for a reunion with my dog family? There would be my litter mates of course from our perfect puppyhood at Jill’s home. As we would compare our lives with our human families, I would downplay my pampering at my home because I would never want to boast about my situation. Hmmmm……I may be a bit envious when I learn of how some of them went on to do agility. Nope, I am not letting myself go to those thoughts. Humans get themselves into trouble all the time when they compare, RIGHT! Besides, I try to imagine life outside of my home. Not really, I like my family; but, I can always use more writing material.

Now, back to the actual reunion. The report was that it is was a fun event. There was plenty of food and relatives of all ages from age baby – 93. It reminded everyone of the precious gifts of family and their unconditional love. Nancy said that a lot of people don’t really know each other that well; but, the deep love for family keeps them united. There, that is enough for me. I think that my given name is so much part of family, don’t you!? Let us all enjoy HARMONY with our friends and family!
