We finally got a courtesy listing with our local humane society for Matilda. The first call was from a woman with a dog. I have no idea how Matilda will react to a dog. I've never had an occasion to introduce her to one. Well, this woman wanted to bring her dog over and throw them together.
Uh, no. I explained that I didn't think that was a good way to do an introduction, at least if you have any hope of harmony. She kept insisting and I finally just said thanks but no thanks. Ugh.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
