Day of rest – pet dog walking
Day of rest
Technology makes my life chaotic.
I like technology, obviously, however I don’t want it to manage my life.
For me, staying in manage indicates consciously observing a day of rest on Sundays, away from innovation as well as other distractions. It’s even a day away from my pet dog walking business.
A day of rest is barely my idea, of course. people have been attempting to kick back on Sundays seemingly forever. We requirement that.
A day of rest for me indicates no calling, texting, blogging, emailing, inspecting Facebook or working on anything service or money associated from dawn up until dusk.
This provides me much needed time to reflect, relax, compose in an actual notebook, take photos, talk with Josh as well as spend time with my animals.
Ace as well as I had time to go on a nice, kicking back walk yesterday, the type of walk where I really link with my pet dog as well as we are not stressed. I didn’t bring a leash. Didn’t requirement one.
When Ace as well as I are linked by our energy, he does precisely what I want without me asking. Without a leash, I need to be mindful of that energy.
On these walks, I believe about exactly how lucky Ace as well as I are, as well as I question if I will ever have this type of connection with any type of other dogs. I hope so.
We’ve been playing a great deal of “touch” where I hold out my ideal hand as well as yell, “Ace, touch!” He comes charging as quick as he can, leaps up as well as bumps his nose into my palm. much a lot more fun than the usual, “Ace, come!”
We serviced some scent games, too. I had him wait while I zig-zagged with the field as well as randomly dropped an item I’d shown him. With the command “find it!” he goes to work.
It’s fun enjoying my pet dog circle wide, trying to catch the scent as well as then narrowing in – drool streaming – up until he discovers it.
I question what type of hounds are in my dog’s ancestry, as well as what that nose might be capable of with appropriate direction.
This week has predicted temps in the high 30s. This is the time of year I am usually dealing with the brutal cold. I can’t believe my luck.
Brown Christmas, welcome.
