Walking back from my daily outing with the dogs this morning my train of thought was quickly moved from looking forward to a great week to the matter close at hand.

Having 2 Labrador Crosses is great - well some of the time.  Yes I know we should have listened to those who told us only to have 1 dog from the same litter, etc and yes maybe in hindsight they were right.  Anyway back to this morning

The rag or so it seamed soon proved to be something else and it was not the wrag which told me what it was - it was it's mother.  Yes unfortunately my two lovely dogs were doing what came naturally to a baby monk jack deer.  The mother was doing what came naturally to it as well and was biting and pushing the dogs away.

It certainly got me thinking - on a whole number of levels about whether we should have the dogs, whether we have the time to dedicate to their training and I guess at one level (although I confess this is also linked to the passing of a family friend at a young age this week) the frailty of life.

As I was reminded at the wedding on Saturday - a beautiful day and a wonderful couple - we have to make the most of each day.  We must ensure that we do not end a day angry with our partner, should we broaden this to with anyone?  Now THERE is a challenge.

So let me leave you on a positive note, it's been a great day with some wonderful conversations with people!
Enjoy life, tell those you love that you do and don't take anything for granted.

Have a great week, thanks for reading and do please drop me a line with your thoughts
