The snow has brought with it many issues. Despite the obvious obstacles, travel, shoveling, food shortages, achy bones from spills from icy patches, the main one is the "Stir-Craziness-Mania" of being trapped in your own home for longer then you like.
I knew that applied to the human inhabitants of this abode. Then I stated to see how the Canine faction was faring, and what they did to keep their minds sharp in a time when one clearly feels like the mind is slipping away in the snow banks.
This was just one day in the life of Tommy & Ginger. They brought such joy to me this day. They let my "One step way from the Shining, All Snow & No Play Makes Coll a crazy woman" mind wander and focus on something other then the trapped feeling consuming my soul. Thomas became "obsessed" with the fleet of Ninja Squirrels taunting him from our window, and Ginger-I-really-detest-coldstuff-on-my-feet, followed her brother without a thought of the yuck building up on her paws. They were totally present in the moment, enjoying their dog-ness....and I couldn't help but follow them on this journey, if only an observer. I thank them for the Gift of Living in the Moment. I have so much to learn from my Dogs!
