Bows and Wows

The third grade had the K-9 Corps come to the school today for a demonstration of police dog work. Two of the biggest German Shepherds arrived and played like puppies, tails wagging, ears up. The officers let the kids pet the dogs, to my amazement. I thought that a working dog was hands off, but maybe that is regarding service dogs. They were beautiful, I had forgotten the intense brown look that a dog attends with.

Another item is that the dogs are individually trained in different languages so that they respond to only their trainers, and not the burglar yelling Sit! One knew Czech, and the other was taught a language that sounded like pig latin nonsense. Oo-stay! Pooshta!!
Za Bak Daz! Just kidding on that last one....

I still feel like I was beat with sticks from sawing down hedges on Sunday, and there is so much more to do. Haven't taken any aspirin, I'd rather tough it out until I break down and cut a tablet in half and then wish I'd done it sooner. I am such a noodge about medication.

I purchased daffodil bulbs and can't wait till spring to see them blossom. It would help if they were planted first, but that may come later this week. Some are so fragrant, it lifts you up. Try Ice Follies. Pale in color, but the aroma will transport your essence to a place of frolicking baby animals when inhaled. It smells like Grandma when she was younger, clean sheets, and sugar icing. It smells like Eden. Like peace. Like compassion.

Enjoy the night. Love the dark. Rest your eyes. Sleep well, heal. xxx
