Our Black Dog doesn't look backwards to yearn for what he had in earlier years. I, on the other hand, sometimes do. I wistfully wish for bygone days of taking a quick spin into the meadow with R by my side. I'd lay down my bike near the flowers, and we'd play. With his loss of sight, it's not so easy anymore for R or for those who guide him.
I need to learn from him. He's so joyful about what he can do. He enjoys each moment, one at a time, without looking backward or forward. He doesn't mourn what is gone or worry about what the future might bring.
I love our Black Dog.

R you shine with happiness even with your limited sight,if we could all accept each day like you do life would be so joyful. Love seeing you there in the flowers.
ReplyDeleteThings you will never regret.
ReplyDeleteOur pets can teach us so much about how to live in the moment, not worrying about the past or the future and just enjoying now. Black Dog is a wonderful example of that :)
