This week has brought me so much joy watching Joie discover new things and the world around her. She started the weekend off learning how to maneuver around in her wheelchair for the first time. If you didn’t see the video of her in her wheels for the first time here it is. On Monday I started taking her on small walks down the street in front of our house. She starts out slow and before you know it she picks up speed and I have to walk quite fast to keep up with her. My heart just oozes with love watching her enjoying her new freedom.
This morning as I was working in my writing cottage I heard her scooting around. As I peeked over my desk I saw her checking out the gas stove for the first time, curious about it. So I moved her bed in front of the stove, and yup, you guessed it, it’s her favorite new place to nap. It’s where she is now as I write this post, lost in her happy dream world.
I just love to watch the world through my dogs’ eyes and this week has certainly been full up with joy watching Joie as she discovers new things around her. At times I’d really like to know what she is thinking. But if what I feel in my heart is her talking to me, I’d say she is one happy, content dog. And that in turn makes me one happy dog mama.
