| Ahhhhhhhh. Life is hectic, and there is nothing like just sitting with a dog or a cat. I've been so busy getting a new rescue/spay/neuter program up and running, taking care of my family, which includes a newborn, and not taking care of myself at all. It's amazing how just a few moments spent in peaceful introspection with two of my favorite and long-time canine friends fixed me right up.
Everyday, I walk about 1/4 mile down the lane to the edge of our property where I meet the bus with my children, twice. Toby the Dalmation and Sierra the Weimaraner follow me everywhere, so they come too. Trailing not far behind are Mr. Cheeks and Lily, two formerly feral cats.
After we get past the "testing phase" where they head towards the road to see if their boundaries have changed and find they have not, my beloved dogs settle in next to me companionably. They lift their noses in the humid air and sniff in the scent of trees and hundreds of other things.
For that amount of time, we are all content to sit and just BE. This is a time I think I'd never take if I wasn't forced to meet the bus twice a day, but it is essential. This is the time when I grow my energy back. When my mind is finally free to think creatively. Toby and Si Si seem to get a lot out of it as well. Usually, they clamor for my attention, but while we wait, they seem to know they have it, without a touch at all. We commune.
Now, this is going to sound silly to some, but dogs know. They don't need words, they know. It's a basic tenet of their being, and something we forget because we get lost in the details of our speech, and all the social aspects that go with it. Toby and Si Si are not encumbered by speech. They know they have a job to do, and one of the things dogs do really well is the process of waiting. ESPECIALLY when the waiting is done with their person. So we all stop and wait, and think, and recharge.
