This is Peanut Butter Brickle. Have you ever wanted to hide from the world? Have you ever just wanted to be by yourself? I get like that. A lot.
As much as I love my family, I also love the times that I have the choice to just be in my own company for a little while. Choices are very important to a dog. We don’t get to make many of our own.
Leashes. Commands. Being told when to get up. When to go to sleep. Everything in our day is told to us. Have you ever thought that your dog may be weary of that?
am so thankful I have a family. But even families and friends have to let the ones they love be themselves.
So when I knew we were going to stay at our friends’ property for a bit, I was excited. Not because it’s a party. And sometimes it is.
But because where the leaves are is where you will find me. In my own spot. When I want to be there.
And when I want to be in the grass, I can be there too.
When I want to walk around, I can do that. When I want to run, I can do that. I can make some decisions on my own. And that’s very important to me.
Persons love when us dogs are by your side. And we do too. But don’t be surprised when we want to be ourselves. Don’t be surprised when we want to think. Or to do nothing. It’s those times we may even be thinking about you. It’s those times we can reflect and appreciate you.
It’s those times we remember we are more than just someone to lead around. We need that time. And actually, maybe you do too.
