if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
- When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
- Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
- Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
- Take naps.
- Stretch before rising.
- Run, romp, and play daily.
- Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
- Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
- On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
- On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
- When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
- Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
- Be loyal.
- Never pretend to be something you’re not.
- If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
- When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.
Thanks for forwarding mom….
Happy Easter!
we are celebrating Easter on Saturday this year. The day started with a big Easter egg hunt and will finish off with a giant Dinner. Jen is making 2 turkeys, some blunt nosed deer and all the trimmings to go with. As is usual, we invited a small army to help us process all this food. We asked people to bring something that is traditional from their families celebrations. This year we have South Africa, Newcastle, London, Ethiopia, south western USA, North eastern USA, and Canada present. It’s always interesting to see what shows up at the table.
For starters, Here’s how our morning started:
The Boys showing off their Easter Bunny Bags
The Easter Bunny Came!
The Egg Hunt Continues
Thomas, Grab that one!
Mom mentally prepares herself for the day
Thomas mentally prepares himself for the day.
Little bit of Arts and Crafts!
Perhaps a few too many photos?
This is as close to smiling as she gets.
It rained yesterday and today! Thomas was out enjoying it (who knows when it will happen again).
Of course you need the camel pack when you are out for a 10 minute ride in the rain. It’s important to keep hydrated when you live in the desert!!!
