AS we sit here, I`m watching Long Island Medium, editting a post for Kol’s Note, considering minor changes to a recipe for Cooking with Dogs and trying to convince myself I don’t want another leftover turkey sandwich. Plus reading blogs and commenting…Dog help me if my eye catches something shiny!

My peoples say I’m a bit “special.”

This was a great post, I think I’m going to share it with my peoples. 🙂

It’s a conundrum!

Of course, I’m writing this comment, while watching television and having a snack. 🙂 I find it hard to focus on one thing at a time!! There’s just not enough time in the day!!

My husband tells me that I am a scatter-brain! But then again, my brain tends to shut down when I need it the most and then turns back on when I am laying in bed:)

I’m all for letting stuff simmer in my unconscious while working, walking, reading or listening; like you, I need to have a notebook handy so I can jot down ideas as they come. Honey’s day is not lessened by her focus; indeed, her focus enhances not only by her physical activity but also the brain activity her searching demands. So it can be with us….now, where did I leave my glasses?

That, and I think that I’m as forgetful as I am because SO MUCH new (or different) information seems to be coming at me at all times.

It’s absolutely hilarious to watch her. I am always amazed that no matter how long it takes, she never gives up. I wish I had some of that perseverence these days.

It is hard to focus on one thing when there are so many things I want to learn and do. With the world we live in, it’s almost impossible not to get distracted. Heck, I’ve started an email, made a phone call, and grabbed some water, all while attempting to finish this comment. Slowing down would be ideal, but how does one begin with so many things demanding attention?

Dog focus can help our own mental health a lot.
