Don’t Forget the Simple Things
I know I sometimes forget to appreciate the truly simple things. I think animals in general are great reminders for us, of how much enjoyment we can get from something that we don’t even notice. Puppies are especially talented at this. They seem to be able to find so much fun and satisfaction in things we take for granted.
For instance when Layla first came to us one of her very favorite toys was an empty plastic fruit/pudding cup. She’d bat that around the house and pounce on it, and have the greatest time. Now Dare has decided that empty plastic water bottles have the same kind of enticement for her. LOL I got some video of her playing with the plastic water bottle the other day.
Then I walk outside yesterday and Dare has taken the big water bucket that I was rinsing and getting ready to refill, and she’s flipped it over upside-down and is playing Circus Sheltie on top of it. It was a hoot. I just thought it was such a good reminder to take time to enjoy some of the simple things, I had to share.
Dare is darling! She’s getting big fast! Mom wishes she had taken more video of me as a pup doing ordinary pup stuff! I still like to play with water bottles and fruit cups! And ice cubes and toilet paper rolls! You’re totally right – it is the simple things we need to remember and appreciate!
