#528 - T is for Time

I once asked my DH if he thought the dogs knew

when we were going to be going somewhere different.

Did they recognize that suitcases and bowls meant

they were not just going to the store or to the beach?

He answered, "No."

All they know is "we're getting in the truck,

and we'll see where we are when we get there.

And wherever THAT is, we'll have fun!"

They say that dogs "live in the moment."

A topic I wrote about when we got our second dog, Dillon.

Working strings of shifts like I do

with only a few precious days off in between

it's hard to live in the moment;

only thinking about what I am doing

in the here and now

instead of worrying about what has to be done

in the next few minutes

hours

days

weeks...

Having been on vacation this last week with my mom,

I really tried to just think about and enjoy the time with her.

But, it seemed to go so fast, and 

before I knew it,

we were back on the road heading home

and work

and life

started interrupting even those last few

precious hours...

But, still, I can say, we had a LOT of fun...
