sniffsniffwagwag

Lying on the sofa for the past hour.
Dreaming of a walk
And the magic words came
Do you want to go for a walk.

Gentle rain
Wind in my ears
Smelling the bushes
Canines on walks
from days gone by.

Put two foot in front
Of the other two feet
Wind in my ears
Sniff Sniff Wag Wag
Water the Bush

My owners hes happy
seeing my ears bent
in the wind and I am
happy running
Sniff Sniff
Wag Wag

Simple Ordinary Things




This week we had astronauts going rocket ship ballistic and the details really don't matter that much. It was a crazy story but it was certainly fuel for the masses. And of course, this week we had Anna Nicole Smith pass into the abyss which was un fortunate in it self today, the same as a single seargent from Astoria that lost his life in Iran. Neither life is more valuable than the other.
But sometimes these large crazy things pale in comparision to the simple everyday things that surround our lives. Today we were walking on campus and I ran into a tree that had fallen down during a wind storm. As we got closer to the tree, I noticed that the tree was flowering. The flowers were woody and full of life and somehow somewhere there was life in that tree even while lying on its side. It was a simple moment during a busy hectic work day, but it was one I truly enjoyed.
