After so many days lived without the ruling of the clock, days when the wish to go for a walk would arise and be followed, days when there was time to sit and enjoy the magical transition between light and darkness...

days when wearing “any old thing” was enough...

days full of silence, deep thoughts and light laughter...

After such holiday, I find it quite hard to get back to normal. I’ve been wandering about the house and everything feels heavy and complicated.
Having Abby in our lives has brought along many changes. The kitchen has been transformed from a quiet, orderly place into a mayhem of toys, a frenzy of activities and a constant source of wonder. As a new dog owner I am riding an emotional roller coaster. One minute I am stern, trying to teach her what is and what’s not okay to do, the next I am laughing, melting away with love and glee.
We spent the weekend at the Purple Caravan. In spite of the warm weather there was a subtle change in the sunlight.
The time to close down for the winter is approaching fast and I hold on to the last vestiges of this Summer which has been so special for me.
I watch Abby as she stands by the door waiting for "Daddy" (she loves him to pieces :0) and feel her wonderful energy touch and transform everything. I think of life in general, and I see "Joy" come in to silently hang her shawl on our coat rack...

She is just divine. Watching my dog play and run for the sheer joy of living, is one of the greatest pleasures in my life. I know you will have many wonderful years of companionship with Abby.
ReplyDeleteLove that photo of Abby waiting for her "Daddy" We talk like that about our 2 cats too! They are our babies afterall! Glad you're back. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have had the most amazing summer Alina, and autumn will undoubtedly bring its joys too.
ReplyDeleteHaving pets give us so much affection and fun ... little Abby is adorable and so photogenic! The puppy training will come good soon I'm sure - in between the giving in and the cuddles!
