Has it really been this long?

I am surprised to see how very long it's been since I made a post to this blog. There is a reason for this. i have not been as involved in my house sitting as I have been in the past. Oh, I'm still doing it, but it's main purpose feels as though it's been met.

I was however, reminded today of the reason I started this blog. It was because as I sat in the park, and looked at the light and felt the wonder of life, I remembered that "sitting with the dogs" began as an experience with a wonderful dog I sat with and watched the dusk settle. It seemed to me the dog was watching the light and I, well I was just enjoying the beauty of the light and then it occurred to me that was exactly what the dog was doing as well. And in that moment I felt connected to it all.

Since that time, I have sat with many of my dog wards during this magical time. They all do it the same. It is a special time for them as well as us. And so, the name for the blog and my eventual book easily became "Sitting with the Dogs" I'd love to hear your comments. Let me know your own stories with sitting with the dogs in what ever form that takes in your life.

Thanks

Sandy
