A nice cool and very pleasant walk with Little Miss Molly in My Tiny Corner this morning. Out very early and the first thing that Molly did was stop in a grassy area and individually sniff every inch of 22 blades of grass. (I actually counted them) I guess I should rename her Little Miss Columbo or Miss Sherlock. I don't understand why she does that. It was a mixed bag this morning, stop and go, backtracking and then full speed ahead. I am amazed at the strength in her little short hind legs. If my hind legs were that strong, proportion to size, I could pull the Orient Express.
There was just enough breeze to wiggle the leaves on the rooms (branches) of the Old Crow Motel. Reminded me of the Aspen trees out west, often referred to as Quaking Aspen. This is because even a light wind will cause the leaves to quiver and this makes a pretty sight in sunlight. Especially in autumn when the aspen turn brilliant yellow.
ON A SAD NOTE:
It is not unusual for me to get an e-mail that
brings me back to reality and makes me ever so thankful to have Little Miss
Molly by my side. Monday this note from Mary Lackey in
Anniston. She said:
"Go ahead and keep telling everyone to love and enjoy their pets and to be
thankful for every day they have with them. I came home yesterday to find my
little Pomeranian named Buttons had passed away while I was at work. It is a
terrible thing to know that this happened to him and I wasn't there to hold
and comfort him at the end. I am so thankful for the 8 wonderful years we
had together. I only wish we could have had so many more. Thanks for letting
me share my story and you are welcome to use it, especially if it will make
even one pet owner think twice and love their pet a little bit extra every
day. Give Little Miss Molly an extra special hug for me."
I could not help but think of Buttons Monday night as Molly and I were having
a long ballgame and when I picked her up and tucked her into bed. I
am very lucky and ever so thankful. Life goes on.
