This is Deputy Digby Pancake. Well, some may say that it doesn’t feel good when you pee on a light pole and get shocked. Some may say that. I will say that.
Some may also say that they don’t feel so good after such an occurrence. But I think that my reset button just got pressed. All of a sudden, I am more cuter. I am hungrier. And I want more pancakes. That reset button just feels like a normal Tuesday. Thank you all for your concern. It was quite a scare for everyone, and in case you are wondering, yes, you can send me a bouquet of pancakes.
Some may also say that days of storms and rain have us all a little stir crazy. Which is the reason why we decided to walk off our moods at the beach. But to get to the beach, you have to walk thru the campground, even if it is raining. Because you do what you gotta do. And after so much rain, it looks like you would expect it to. Full of mud and dirt and lots and lots of puddles. And apparently, when you walk thru puddles you are supposed not to like that. Who does not like that?
“A frog would leap from a throne of gold into a puddle.”
When persons don’t make sense, I call them out on it. In fact, not only do I snap them into reality by being myself, but my intentions are to make them be themselves, without all of the worries or cares or concerns. Because simply put, life is not as complicated as they make it. Finding joy, even in puddles is necessary. Otherwise, what do you really have in life?
“Childhood is that state which is the moment a puddle is first viewed as an obstacle instead of an opportunity.”
Can you imagine for a moment if you were a puddle? You found yourself in the best hole, and you were a big puddle. You were just being the best puddle that you could be. People would walk by and look at their reflections. But maybe they were the reflection of who actually was in the puddle. I actually have no idea what that means.
“Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you’re just a reflection of him?”
But, if for but a moment, a puddle could be walked thru or jumped over, that puddle, was but if for a second, a time that you could be a kid, or a puppy again. Because in life, there are simple, lovely, wonderful things like puddles.
Sometimes, people only seeing having to clean us dogs up, or the nuisance of obstacles like a puddle that is in their way. But if you care to get your feet wet, but not while peeing on a light pole, that is when you don’t have to worry. You didn’t let the worries win.
“Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, ” This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in; fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well! It must have been made to have me in it!”
That light pole may have shocked some sense even into Sheriff Brickle. As he was worried about me, when he realized I was ok, that puddle that had blocked our path became not a puddle that he was concerned about getting his paws dirty in. But he ran through it to get me home with a happy dance that I haven’t seen in awhile. He danced through that puddle. And that puddle, right at that moment was wonderful. A true wonderland.
When you have a chance to appreciate the puddles in life by dancing thru them, or jumping over them, or splashing through them, do it. And if the ones that you love, and the ones that love you jump in with you, all the better.
Our world tries to distract us with nonsense, trying to make us think that even puddles aren’t important. But the real world is wonderful, full of puddles and mud and wonderful. But also, don’t pee on a light pole in the puddle. I just want to emphasize that. Otherwise, jump in!
“Sometimes the whole world is mud luscious and puddle wonderful”
