So we are celebrating Canada this weekend - and unfortunately, the weather has not been overly cooperative. There was rain that DID end before the big fireworks display in downtown Halifax last night, but more rain is in the forecast for today. We are lucky - we live far enough away from downtown that we didn't hear the loud display - but I feel sorry for any dogs who may be frightened of them. If your dog IS worried about thunderstorms or fireworks, it is critical that you keep him safe inside your home. There are stories of dogs taking off - and some do not have happy endings. The dogs in this household don't really mind thunder and we HAVE heard small fireworks in our "neighborhood" here in the country - but it hasn't bothered us. But apparently, humans need to be careful because even IF a dog has not been afraid in the past, it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. So stay safe.
Yesterday was another good day - and the learning experiences were all good. One day at a time. That's the way we canines look at the world. Actually, we probably live more moment to moment. While we DO have a sense of the days of the week, we don't actually sit around and worry about what will happen next week. Or tomorrow. Or in 15 minutes. We're pretty much all about here and now. Another lesson humans can learn from us. Savor the moments.
So although the forecast calls for rain today and we all know what Einstein and I think about rain, we're not stressed about it. Some things we just can't control - so we have to go with the flow. Even if it means wearing those horrid raincoats...
Hope you can go with the flow today. Count all those "good" moments in your day! And hopefully, there are more good than bad!
