Sometimes things in life need extra attention and it bites into the time spent on doing fun stuff with your dog. Everyone has those times I think.
Last week life just did what life does so I wanted to share this:
I was out walking Sonny for some much needed alone time. We were walking down the side walk when up ahead a dad strolling his beautiful, bright-eyed, happy little girl towards us.
When he saw us, he started to leave the sidewalk so I quickly moved off the sidewalk so he would stay on it. As we approached closer dad happily exclaimed to his daughter "that's a big dog . The little girl replied with a great big smile "I love that doggie". I matched that child's smile with a "He loves you too":laugh2:
Honestly, Those simple words coming from a child just brightened up my day.. Her dad had a big old grin also.
Another response while we were walking on a different day: We passed a truck that was parked. The guy in the truck calls out "Wow, that's a dog and a half" I pause,look at the guy, then at my dog and say: "nope, I don't see an extra two legs so he's just a dog". It made the guy chuckle a little.
Would love to hear other quick witted responses.
