Pecans and Neosporine
Oh the life of a visually impaired dog owner. 
So I came home from walking Sadie last night – we happened to take a cross country route around my apartment, something we haven’t done in a while. Came home, walked in the door, and I noticed that the poor dog was severely limping, not putting any weight at all on her back paw. In a panic, I looked to see the problem, and found the paw was severely cracked, very hard, but not bleeding. So, I had her wait while I got the vet wrap, Neosporine, and essentials to clean the wound – meanwhile trying to convince myself that an emergency vet visit was not in order. When I got back to Sadie, I noticed 2 pecan shells on the floor next to her.
Yeah. . .was prepared to clean and wrap pecan shells! I can just see me going to the vet with her paw wrapped. I need more excitement in my life, ya know? 
The things we learn from our pets
What have you learned from the pets you’ve had? I think they can teach us so much about ourselves and the world around us. Share some of yours!
From my dog, these are some of the things I have learned:
- Don’t take life too seriously. There’s always something to laugh about, a joke to be made, or someone that can benefit from a smile.
- Loyalty is key – true friends always have each other’s back!
- A five minute walk is just as much fun as a 55 minute one – what matters is you’re having FUN!
- Always hang out on the kitchen floor – someone might drop a tasty snack.
- Whenever company comes, treat them like they are the best thing that has EVER happened to you – because for the moment, they are!
- Love is really all you need.
