And being present in the moment.” Love. It’s definitely an ideal I would like to strive to achieve, and I think my guys definitely live their lives feeling. Sometimes that’s not a great thing (Lucas, I’m talking to you, buddy!) but mostly it’s wonderful and lovely!

Instead of considering the simplest explanation: she’s just busy.”

Elka does too, sometimes, but it’s FAR easier for her to drop the issue and just love and enjoy things. I’m trying to take the lesson, really I am!

What is bad is the worrying part. Dogs don’t really worry and that makes life much easier.

Especially at 3AM when you just want the damn thing to go to sleep 😉

I can’t do it. When I try to be present I’m always thinking about the future, and all of the tiny details that actually don’t really matter. I want to come back in my next life as a dog! Great post as always.
