Spring is finally here!
Even though it’s still a little chilly outside.
My choir conductor, Emma, her husband, James and their son,
Andrew, a 3-year-old boy decided to enjoy the Easter Sunday at Seneca State
Park to ward off boredom with Charlie, Ben’s business associate’s half-fox
terrier we are sitting this month.
There’s quite a responsibility to dog-sit, especially for us, the novice
dog-sitters.
I am amazed to see the striking similarities between dogs and toddlers in terms of social behaviors. Let
alone that they all are cute with sweet smiles & constant licking at
you. They do need your undivided
attention at all times. I sometimes call
Charlie by mistake with my grandson’s name – Forest. “Charlie/Forest, let’s go outside to
walk!”
Look at their unsophisticated non-verbal way of communicating –
looking, imitating, frolicking, and scampering around the park. There’s a space
in between them to respect each other.
I think we all have fun by seeing that they aren’t all that
different at all!
