You know, I’ve been thinking about how dogs are only with us for a short time, like just 10% of our lives. It’s really important to enjoy every moment with them. I’ve never met a dog that said they can’t go somewhere or that a day doesn’t work for them. They just want to be with you, windows down, enjoying the ride. It’s a reminder to appreciate what we have.
My dog is always up for an adventure, no matter how tired she gets. She’s around 11 now, and while she can’t do as much as before, she still perks up for a car ride. It’s like she knows it’s going to be fun.
So true. Dogs live for the moment. Everything is ‘The Best Day Ever’ for them, and they don’t worry about what’s next. It’s a beautiful way to see life.
Not all dogs get to feel this way though. It’s important to realize that our pets are happy because we give them love and a safe home. Many don’t get that.
I can relate to this. My dog is such a character. If I miss walkies by even an hour, she decides she’s napping instead. It’s like she knows how to play me.
You really hit on something here. I think about how long I have left with my pet. Sometimes it feels like it’s just one more lifespan. So, I cherish every moment.
