In Regina, its amazing to be able to take your dog(s) to the off-leash parks they have around the city. Living in the Cathedral area gives Loki and I the opportunity to walk to the Cathy Lauritsen Memorial Off-Leash Dog Park, and a much easier distance for transportation.
Loki is a bit terrified of other animals, he is a rescue, and getting him at 9 months or any age of animals coming from traumatizing situations, is very hard for them to adapt to life. The fact I am able to take him to an off-leash park, not having him jump onto me to be picked up, and work on his progress. Instead of us hanging around all the dogs, it helps Loki ease into the new surroundings, and this time we headed towards the bridge.
I forgot there was a bridge built there and the creek water flows underneath it. Then behind me was a beautiful lady bug resting on a plant and always will capture the moment of meeting new creatures. While taking the snap shot of the ladybug, I heard a thump, and then a huge SPLASH! Look to my left and out jumping from the creek was Loki! Safe to say he was all good and invented a new body spray called “creek.”
Sometimes we tend to forget when we’re so caught up in the rush of life and never try to slow down to see what is right in front us.
In all the chaos and hurry, do not forget to notice the beauty and miracle of this world. Slow down. Notice. Observe. Be aware. Allow presence and awe to come back into your life.
