Beauty Of Nature

Wallie loved to ride in the Dog O Mobile more than anything but the last few months were difficult.
We didn't go as often as we used to and had to make sure the girls behaved as not to get him excited.

I felt guilty hushing them all the time because they love riding in the Dog O Mobile as much as he does.

This is a situation I find myself struggling with because of the emotions of guilt and happiness for the girls all rolled up in one.

But what better way to honor those we loved and lost then by living and doing what they loved doing.

So now I sing the Bow Wow Wagon song and my heart catches but I sing it anyway.

I ramp up the excitement about the trip before we go.

Today while riding around we came upon our small herd of deer that lives in our neighborhood.

I stopped the bow wow wagon and just sat there quietly watching them, grateful they all survived Hurricane Harvey and seem to be doing okay.

The puppies must have felt my mood because they all looked out the windows watching them quietly which is a rarity with my puppies.

The deer stopped and began to watch us, and tears began to stream down my face.

Today I am grateful for the beauty of nature, the wonder of life and that I have been blessed to be a part of it.
