s a dog to me and run right out the door, off to their next destination. What they don't know is that are being followed, stalked, sniffed. She's little, white and romps around without a care in the world. I have watched my ferret, Jasmine, follow people around from the minute they walked into the
shop. People are in such a rush they don't even see her. The never knew this small little creature was following them heal to toe. They rush out the door and Jasmine jogs right behind them until the door slaps her in the face. On occasion I bring my miniature horse Nina to the shop. Yeah, she's little....for a horse, but come on people; she is three feet tall and weighs 100 pounds. Still, they rush right by her and never even notice they just passed a HORSE! That's right, you just walked by a horse, in a grooming shop and you never even broke stride. I get such a kick out of that.We gots to slow down. What else are you missing in your race to finish the day. Look around, the trees are blooming, spring flowers are popping up, robins are flying around, do you see all of this? Did you notice how beautifully green everyone's lawns are now that spring has finally sprung? These are trivial things to notice, yes I have a greater point. Your dog! You know, that little thing running around saying hellllooooo, you brought me here, you adopted me, you wanted me at one point, now give me some attention! I had a dog come in recently with a serious eye problem. Yeah, he was a little shaggy, but that's no excuse. After I groomed him, zipped him down the eye problem stuck out like a soar thumb. "Hmmm, I hadn't noticed that." Yep, that was her response. I could go on, but I won't. Just take a few minutes each day to notice that you have a dog! Did you even realize that from the moment your car pulled into the driveway, that dog's tail has been wagging. There is a reason they do that. That wagging tail is a dog's blog. It goes something like this:
Blog from the Dog (tail wagging translation)
Oh my gosh, I am so happy to see you. Did you bring me anything, did you know a rabbit ran through the yard today. I barked at the window and told it to go away. Hey did I tell you how happy I am to see you? I have had a hard day, you left me this morning and now you are home and all I want is a pat on the head. Look, I waited all day for you, no accidents, I kept your spot on the couch warm, I didn't chew up any toilet paper like that rotten dog A
ngie has, and hey did I tell you how happy I am to see you? Oh, I also would really like some supper, could you please start cooking soon so I can smell that wonderful food. Hey after supper you wanna go for a walk? Ohhhh those are words are music to my ears, walk walk walk. Hey by the way did I tell you I love you, look, my tail is wagging, that is what that means!Wow! You didn't realize what he was saying? Yep you are in too much of a rush. You can have an entire conversation with a dog by just looking into those sweet eyes and watching the woof, wag, and wiggle. Take a lesson from the dog, slow down take it all in, listen to the chirping birds, be cautious of stalking ferrets, and for Pete's sake look out for those horses!
