Linger at the park

I couldn’t get my little dog to leave the off-leash park yesterday. He was enjoying himself and showed no interest in leaving. He stayed at least 20 feet from me, confident of his ability to out run me. He is normally not so difficult, but it was a beautiful day and I sympathized with his desire to stay. I was however, unwilling to let him dictate my day.

Eventually he couldn’t resist attention from a stranger. While he was getting his head scratched I asked the man to grab him by the collar, then I attached the leash. I might have to trick him, but I will have my way. Silly dog!

While I won’t let a dog control my life, I will let him teach me a lesson. Enjoy the sun while it’s here. Soak up the moments of happiness. God’s world is beautiful enjoy it when you can.
