I'm telling you, I don't get it. I don't see how I managed Brut, five dogs, two packs, two cats, and a duck, because I feel like I'm still just keeping it together with four!
I swear the dogs I have now, have filled every nook, cranny and empty space left by Brut and Silver. For some crazy reason I thought after Brut and Silver passed there was going to be extra time to play with or that I get some sort of break mentally and emotionally. Instead it feels like it quadrupled! Zappa, Fiona, Chance and Blaze definitely fill the day and night. Not to mention the two cats, Boxer and Leia.
And every so often I think, how did I do it before? Especially with Brut! My ultimate trouble dog and who took every ounce of my energy and creative power. Just how did I do that?
I know I wasn't in this alone. I got a lot of help from the Big Dog in the sky, but it just blows my mind every time when I really think about it.
How about you, do you find yourself wondering how you've done it with your dogs/cats etc.?
I noticed we seem to get extra energy when the ones we love need us, even if we feel tired already. After a while, I guess we just get used to it and we adapt to the requirements.
ReplyDeleteVery well said, Lavi.
ReplyDeleteTruthfully I've always wondered how you've done it too. But work expands to fill the time you have.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, love also expands so you always have enough to cover everyone who depends on you.
