This is Fruitycake The Raccoon. Some persons think that I don’t notice a lot because I am a funny and goofy boy.
Some persons may not think that I am observant like Peanut Butter Brickle.

But the truth is, I am observant. I do notice things. I just choose not to make a big deal out of everything. Because most things are definitely not a big deal at all.

But when the persons were watching another video of the inside of our little house in Italy, I did notice a few things that they did not see at first. I wondered if they were paying attention because they are so excited.
And I didn’t know whether to tell them or not. Watch and see if you notice what I did…
Yes. Seems as though a few others have made themselves at home. Did you see the mouse?
Did you see the bug nest?!
If you didn’t see those things, do you wonder what else you don’t see during the day? Oh, there is so much to notice. Every single second of every day is filled with a moment in time all to its own. We won’t get those seconds back even if we live a million years. So notice all that you can! Learn all that you can! Make your time count.

We don’t know how long we will live or stay in that Italy place. It could be a year. It could be forever. And apparently, it may take forever to fix this little house.

It may be awhile before the mouse and the bugs can be relocated. Or maybe they can just pay rent.
Some may worry if we can handle the job of fixing our little house. But I wonder if we could handle NOT fixing it. You see, we are already attached.

We knew the moment we looked at its picture online that it was the one.

When you know, you know. There may be things you don’t see about a situation or an individual. We will never have all the facts before we give our hearts away.
Sometimes you have to go with what you feel in your heart and see with your heart. Then life’s decisions will be clear.

And if you make a mistake, you make a mistake! But it’s more of a mistake to close your eyes to the magic of life that is waiting for you.

Buying this house without seeing it in person is a risk. But in this case, we go with our hearts. Because our hearts are already there. Tomorrow we will explain when we are planning to go and where we are in the process.

The #LiveLikeDigby Adoption Fund was started with generous donations from 4-Legger and our friends…you! Funds raised help hard to place dogs for adoption at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay in Tampa, Florida. We adopted Brickle and Digby from the Humane Society Of Tampa Bay and our lives were forever changed. Digby’s memory and legacy can be honored by donations to help other dogs in need. Funds go directly to the Humane Society Of Tampa Bay.
