I truly loved this!!! And I agree wholeheartedly with "...I doubt that a boy like him can affectionately greet an animal. It’s no surprise that empathy checked itself at the door of this administration." You rock!
I love nature and dogs! Nothing gives me more joy and happiness than to be outside feeling the breeze in my hair, the grass and/or dirt in my fingers and nails. And there is nothing better than cuddling up in the evening, morning or anytime of day with my furry family members. The joy it brings is priceless.
Andrew, your piece "Touch Grass or Pet a Dog" serves as a gentle nudge to reconnect with the simple joys around us. Your observations highlight how small actions can significantly enhance our well-being. Thank you for this timely reminder to embrace life's uncomplicated pleasures.
Beautifully said. In the back of my property there's a very tall rock wall and it's a very shady spot. A thick green moss grows on the rock face. Just to think of this spongy soft moss growing out nothing soothes me. I often put my palm on it and rest there awhile. Putting my hand on my dog offers me the same feeling.
My dog wakes up from her naps and immediately comes over and wiggles at me. This is the sign that I need to stop whatever I'm doing and give her lots of love, and it is my favourite way to take a break from work or doom scrolling!
If I could have my hand on Bella 24/7, I would be a much happier person.
This was comforting to me. My dog Ryder is the best weighted blanket ever.
Love it
And so needed now !
Best wishes from my border collies to yours ❤️
