Life is full of wonder, isn't it? My dog is extraordinarily playful. Playful enough to play hide-and-seek which we do now and again. She always finds me. I think it's that smell thing, 10,000 more powerful than a human's. She is ecstatic when she locates me and my catch phrase when she does is: "You found me! You found me!"
But the other day, wow, a first. I let her out through the back door and I was busy tidying up the back hall of winter stuff that needed storage when I felt two paws on my bum and turned around and there was the dog looking absolutely delighted with herself. She had raced around the house to the open front door and tore in and around to surprise me by jumping on me. And she did. I was laughing so hard I had to sit down. None of my previous dogs had this marvellous sense of humour she has. And when she's pleased with herself this huge grin spreads across her face.
In manifestation news. I mentioned to a select few I was doing the Tely 10 at the end of July, come hell or high water. And now others are joining me. And some supporters too. It's another dream come true. I was stubborn enough to do it alone but having other participants AND supporters is the icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned. I used to have it in Toronto back in the day of racing so having this comraderie in St. John's is powerful and validating and well, heart-warming.

What a lovely smile Ansa has! Lucky you. You know what they say about dogs---how we'd all be better off if we could learn from them---unconditional love, forgiveness, not holding grudges and, as Ansa proves---playfulness!
ReplyDeleteA born leader and a playful friend!
ReplyDeleteMy little poodle had a great sense of humor, too. I miss her every day. I wish I could have a dog, but we travel too much. It's hard enough on the cat as it is.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great dog!!!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for the Tely 10!
She looks just like my girl, Jenna. Who smiles and talks.
ReplyDeleteA dog with a sense of humour! That sounds like a lot of fun.

ReplyDeleteDogs are treasures - I only wish I could be the kind of person my dog thinks I am!

ReplyDeleteDon't know about the born leader thing, then again I am a Leo as people like to me!
She's an amazingly intelligent dog. Of all the dogs I've known and cherished she's definitely the one!

ReplyDeleteYes, travel puts a crimp of canine companionship. I'm lucky I have good care for her when I'm not here though I miss her every day I'm gone.

ReplyDeleteI think your Hapi is right up there too. Are you back from BC yet?
Yes, the Tely 10, getting more excited all the time.
Thanks for the good wishes.

ReplyDeleteAh Jenna sounds like a wonder too. As soon as I put on my running shoes Ansa goes crazy, supervising the entire process, chatting away to me as I chat back. Canine language of course!!
