I feel like we have been pretty lucky in Northwest Wisconsin for this winter season. However, we have just come out of a cold snap that reminded us what the wind chills are capable of. While there could be plenty more where that came from, thankfully for the next few days it looks like we will be having some warmer weather.
Today me and the dogs went for a walk in the woods. It is one of my favorite things to watch them running, sniffing, rolling in the snow (at least I hope it is just snow), and just happily being dogs in nature. Several times I stopped to just watch them and soak it in. This may be one of my favorite moments with my dogs.
Now I am back in the house, back on the computer to do some office work, and the dogs are all relaxing, sleeping peacefully around. This is another moment that brings me joy.
There’s a saying out there I’m sure you’ve heard, “A tired dog is a happy dog.” While I don’t completely agree with that (that’s a post for another day), I do agree that a lot of times a tired dog makes a happy owner-at least for now in this moment.
I’ve taken to asking people in lessons, workshops, discussions, when was the last time you felt joy with your dog? I love the answers I have been getting.
So while there is a good chance I will be asking this again at the next Monthly Member’s Meeting, I am going to ask here. For the sake of us coming out of a cold snap, please share a time outside that brought you joy with your dog. Although honestly, any moment of joy and answer will be good. 😊 Please feel free to comment directly on this post or create a whole new post on your own! Bonus points if you include a picture. I love getting pictures of dogs! 😉
PS I know my video wasn't the greatest, I just wanted a short clip from today.
