sunday at saints
so i think the last of the visitors have come and gone but you never know, sometimes people pop by in the late afternoons too so maybe we will have some more company. copper had four walks today, two with his daisy and two with a leash, maybe he will get one more!
spritely is a very bad horse…. we had the dogs down in the field for a run, and everyone was with us again including pokey norton and blind jazz. we had maudie on a leash. the horses and donkeys were down in the bottom field and i could see that swinger was bugging spritely. i decided to move the dogs up to the upper field so no one got mowed over by the bigs guys hanging out down below.
the dogs were getting ready to move up thru the lower pasture gate when spritely threw up her tail, flew around the pond, skidded to a stop by the upper fence, dodged a multiple of various crippled dogs, flew past them and thundered up and around the barn. Gideon decided that looked fun so he charged right up behind her and swinger thought he should follow too.
spritely is not supposed to be running, nor is she to be playing one ton horse chicken with all the crippled dogs. if she wants to prove that her leg is fine, she could do it a little bit more responsibly. anyway, i thought maybe the swelling was marginally better today by looking at it, i didn’t need the thundering, flying, hoof demo to prove it.
sandy ate a whack of cookies, sam is currently sitting in the kitchen instead of under the bed, and lola should stay out of the hot dryer before she goes for a tumble by mistake. michael is not great, moses is very tired today and dexter thinks we should all just move down to the pond.
it is just another day in paradise…….
sooo…i was just having a hot bath
and not that anyone cares either. but, i sometimes have these really ”profound to me” thoughts when i get the blood flowing to my brain while in a deep, hot puddle of water (there is a reason why bathtubs are my favorite places to be and i should never have gotten rid of that hot tub!). and i was pondering emotionally intimate relationships (thx chris) and why i feel so good without one. so if i am being honest, one reason is probably because i have never really had a human one. i used to think i did, but i didn’t. and why do i think that now? because of the animals. it is the animals who are teaching me what a real relationship that has meaning and value, is. it is about a smile on someone elses face and a glow in someone elses heart.
before their balls, and before their sticks and maybe just barely before (or right close after??) their walks and treats comes me. and they want a smile on my face and a song in my heart and they want me to dance with them in the meadow. and that is exactly what i want right back again for them. how many human relationships are like that. maybe alot, maybe just a few, i wouldn’t know cuz it is not my area of expertise.
but i am ever so thankful to the animals because at least now i know what i should be looking for if i actually wanted to bother to look. which right now i don’t, because i am having sixty relationships that are really important to me and i am a little bit busy right now with those!
animals are such magical creatures, they can teach you all kinds of things that might come in handy at some point. and that is why i don’t understand people who dump their dogs. why on earth would anyone in their right mind, toss away a relationship that offered a free pass to happiness?
